I really doubt anyone likes having to buy car insurance, especially when they know the price is too high. Online insurance companies like GEICO, 21st Century and Progressive increase brand awareness with TV and radio ads and it is difficult to see past the corporate glitz and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.
Comparing car insurance rates can be challenging if you don’t understand the best way to get rate quotes. You could spend the better part of a day discussing policy coverages with local insurance agents in Austin, or you could use online quotes for quick rates.
Most of the best insurance companies take part in a program where prospective buyers only type in their quote data once, and each participating company then gives them pricing based on that information. This eliminates the need for quote forms for every car insurance company. To submit your quote information now, click here (opens in new window).
The only downside to using this type of system is that you can’t choose the companies you will receive quotes from. If you would rather choose specific insurance companies to request quotes from, we have assembled a list of car insurance companies in Texas. Click here for list of insurance companies in Texas.
You can use whichever method you prefer to find lower rates, just make sure you are using identical information for each quote you get. If you use unequal deductibles or liability limits it will be next to impossible to truly determine the lowest rate in Austin.
More information is available on the website for the Texas Department of Insurance found here. Texas consumers can find a variety of consumer forms, read enforcement actions against agents and companies, and view a list of available companies.
