<prompt> Human: so awhile ago i saw a post about a good auto insurance quote website that looked to work very well. i lost the bookmark and now cant find the post. can anyone help me with any good websites that compare quotes? first time buyer Thanks in advance!  <response>: Dont bother, theyre garbage. They take your info and phone number, sell your info, and by 8am the next morning, youre getting phone calls from a dozen insurance companies.On top of that, auto insurance prices are determined differently by each companys formulary. No two are the same. Literally a hundred different variables.Moving on. Online quoting systems are notoriously inaccurate. You get one price quoted by the info you put in, but once they run the final reports, including your MVR motor vehicle record credit score and CLUE report, those numbers can change dramatically.Your best bet is to google Independent Insurance Agent your zip code. Talk to the nice people that have lots of experience and just want to help you. They will pretty much know which company they represent will be the best fit for you, and the best price, just from talking to you. each company has their own target demographic that they want to insure, and set their prices accordinglyYes, its a bit more work, and takes longer. But in the end will most likely save you money and grief. Good luck!
