Comparison of car insurance companies

Comparing car insurers isn’t easy, but Insurify wants to make it as simple as typing in your Zip code. A few minutes later, you can compare quotes, or get a personal report with who your best bet for affordable insurance will be.

The service lets you type in your zip code, answer a few questions about where you live and what you drive, and what your driving record looks like, and you’ll be able to compare quotes from dozens of insurance companies, depending on where you live (US only, by the way.) For a more personal touch, take a picture of your license plate and sign up for Insurify’s beta, and you’ll get more personalized recommendations based on your area. While you can use the service to search and compare insurers nationwide, the virtual agent feature is a public beta, and in a limited area, so keep that in mind before you sign up.

Like many services that promise “virtual” solutions to problems that can often require a human touch, Insurify is more of a research tool than anything else at the moment, and that’s fine—although you can use the quotes they provide you to go to the insurer’s web site and purchase a policy if you see a price you like. You can check out the service at the link below, and give it a whirl if you’re looking for more affordable coverage. Just keep in mind when you shop for insurance that big price differences usually mean differences in coverage, so read your quotes thoroughly.
