Thanks for the reply TabbyCat, always nice to see an industry insider comment on the topic.
The intention of cruisersinsurance.com would not be to get multiple quotes from the same insurer - it would be to get one quote from as many insurance company as possible in a way that protects the cruiser's contact info towards said insurance companies.
The intention would also not be to compare your quotes to those of your neighbors - it would be to provide more transparency on the trade-offs of the quotes received. Basically listing all the differences and nuances good brokers take into account, maybe make a suggestion but not a decision.
The underlying idea is that cruisers are more than able to decide for themselves which insurance quote they want to go for when given all the relevant info. In a reputation based business out educating your competitors is both a good marketing strategy and it overcomes the principal-agency problem as well.
The process would also repeat a few weeks before each renewal date.
Please feel free to tell me where I go wrong.
That's odd, maybe you had a slow connection?
Anyway, if you fill out the questionnaire below and send it to me, I'll get you a quote ASAP.
Update: The insurance companies didn't seem to keen to cooperate on this project. Therefore it is cancelled.
