Because there are so many insurance companies to choose from, it is very difficult to choose the most cost effective insurer.
Comparing rates from local agents

You have the option to buy car insurance direct online
Local insurance agents are important, but Texas consumers also have the option to buy direct online. Some car insurance companies like Allstate and State Farm that sell primarily through agents also allow you to buy online. This is something to consider.
If you’re uncomfortable with not receiving proper advice when buying car insurance direct, this really isn’t an issue. All companies that require consumers to choose their own coverages provide customer service that you can contact for information. They also make available 24/7 live help and a car insurance FAQ section to make it easier to purchase.
Are car insurance rates lower online? The answer is complex because there are a lot of things which can adversely affect your policy premium. Common sense would say that buying car insurance online saves by not paying a commission. But the reality is advertising and marketing take a lot of money and those expenses can offset most of the savings by selling direct.
The only way to know if the cheapest policy comes from an agent or online is getting rates for as many of both types of providers as possible. You could possible even receive different price quotes for the exact same company from their agents and their website.
More tips and info about auto insurance is available at the Texas Department of Insurance website. Consumers can get help finding coverage, view a list of available companies, discover disciplinary actions, and read state legal mandates and laws.
More quotes mean more savings
Drivers leave their current company for any number of reasons including not issuing a premium refund, high rates after DUI convictions, an unsatisfactory settlement offer and policy cancellation. It doesn’t matter what your reason, switching auto insurance companies can be pretty painless.
When you buy insurance online, never buy poor coverage just to save money. There are too many instances where an accident victim reduced liability coverage limits and learned later that the savings was not a smart move. The ultimate goal is to buy the best coverage you can find at the best price, not the least amount of coverage.
