Popularity of Shopping for Auto Insurance Online Continues to grow

    ST. LOUIS, MO, January 12, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to OnlineAutoInsurance.com, the number of visitors who have visited the website to compare the rates of insurers has steadily grown over the last year. The Internet allows people to find the cheapest deals and best providers with ease. Consumers are able to get rate quotes from many different carriers and compare their prices without having to pick up a telephone or step foot out of the house. Online shopping may also give motorists a much larger variety of carriers to choose from, enhancing their chances of saving as well.

Individuals are finding that each time their policy comes up for renewal, taking the time to compare the rates of various auto insurance companies may save them money. In many cases an individual's current insurer may not be the cheapest even though it may have at the time they purchased the policy. This can be due to several different factors; if an individual has obtained tickets or have been in accidents over the term of their previous policy, their current company may not view them as profitable and may increase their premium; therefore comparing the pricing of competitors online can potentially lower rates.

It is also believed that the growing number of online shoppers has grown due the increased speed and efficiency that the Internet provides when comparison shopping and many state departments of insurance have began to recognize this as well. In a consumer guide provided by the state of Missouri, it states, "You could probably get 20 quotes in the same amount of time it takes to drive to or call three agents."
