Good question.

What is the difference between hiring a car insurance agent and getting an instant car insurance rate comparison? Well, the instant car insurance rate comparison is free, for one. Now that these are available online, agents are practically obsolete.

You can both research, get quotes for, and purchase your auto insurance online, and you can do it in less time than you would have spent at the agent’s office, which is one of its big draws.

Even so, sometimes agents are useful. If you just don’t have enough time to sacrifice to getting an instant car insurance rate comparison, checking complaint records, recommendations, and financial stability, then an agent can do all of that for you. So then it’s up to you to decide on the agent.

You’re going to want an independent agent. These agents can look for quotes and compare among several different companies and help you decide. On the other hand, a captive agent work for a single company.

One of the best ways to lower your annual premiums is to raise your deductible amount to the highest level possible. Say, $1,000.  If you are  a safe and claim free driver you will save a ton of money in the long run.  Remember you only have to pay this amount if you have a claim and the claim is paid by your insurance company.
