Insurance.com Streamlines Auto Insurance Comparison for Mobile Phones
March 17 2015 - 9:28AM
Insurance.com, a car insurance comparison-shopping site that offers
side-by-side policy choices for 14 carriers, has launched a new
mobile platform that allows visitors to purchase policies with just
a tap of their screens in as quickly as 10 minutes. "Comparing
quotes on smartphones can be a minefield, especially if you want to
see quotes from multiple companies at the same time," said
Insurance.com Managing Editor Des Toups. "Most sites don't ask all
the questions needed to show you a real rate you can actually buy,
or they sell your phone number to a bunch of insurance companies.
We think mobile users want to see real rates right away, the way
shoppers who visit our website do." The new Insurance.com mobile
site features a simple walk-through about prior insurance coverage
and vehicles, reviews discounts and coverage options, then displays
rates from insurance carriers side by side. For those with
questions or concerns, users can connect with a licensed agent at
any point in the quote process. Insurance.com does not share
shoppers' contact information. This no-hassle approach to auto
insurance shopping allows customers to get real-time quotes
anywhere, regardless of whether that's at an airport or a
dealership, Toups said. "One in five of our customers use mobile
devices," Toups said. "Our new platform allows them to compare
rates and buy when the need arises." More than 1 million
Insurance.com users have saved an average of $540, the company
says, with policies sold through providers that include
Progressive, Esurance, The Hartford, Travelers and 21st Century. To
see the new platform or see side-by-side quotes, use your phone to
