How do you get car insurance quotes?

I’m moving out, and I need to get off of my parents’ car insurance before I go. My friends told me that finding quotes is the best way to shop around, but I’m a little confused about how to get them. How do I get car insurance quotes?

Your friends are right—shopping around is a great way to get car insurance quotes. To make sure your quotes are accurate, here’s what you’ll need:
  • Personal information like your name, address, occupation, and birthdate.
  • Your current insurance policy.
  • The annual and current mileage on your car.
  • Vehicle information, such as whether you own or lease your vehicle, your vehicle identification number (VIN), and any safety or anti-theft features.
  • Driving history for the past five years, including any tickets, accidents, or other violations.
Once you have this information, consider how much coverage you’ll need. Since you are already on a policy, the
declarations page
should list the coverages you already have; consider whether this policy works for you, or whether you’re looking for something different.
Once you have this information ready, you can begin looking for
