Buy Car Insurance Online-- A Few Tips To Get You Started

[kaisser]

There is a large shopping mall online for car insurance. You can buy car insurance online if you understand the process. You have to accurately report your rating information to an online car insurance quoting website. Your accuracy is critical because the data that you give will determine the rate. Truthful and detailed rating information is a must if you are seriously considering buying car insurance online. The process will educate you about your own insurance and will give you confidence to shop online in the future.

Here's what you need...

1. Driver License - Every resident relative in the household will have to be rated on the policy. You will need the driver's license number for every individual that will be rated on the policy.

2. Insurance Declarations Page - This page is mailed to you every time your policy renews. It contains all of the insurance information that you will need to enter on the online quoting website.

3. Car Registration Card - The registration card will provide the vehicle identification number. Every vehicle gets its rate from the vehicle registration number. It will indicate the air bags, anti-lock brakes, and any other safety features. These features give you discounts.

4. Property Insurance Policy - The best rates on car insurance are usually multi-policy rated. You might as well get a rate on your homeowner policy and compare and get the multi-policy discount.

Online Shopping for car insurance requires you to provide all the necessary information. The nice thing about online shopping is that you can do it at home and at your convenience. The quotes are usually sent to competing companies and when you receive the quote you will also have the option to e-mail the agent. Agents are doing business online all of the time and they also find it to be a convenient way to do business.

Too bad you can't use it for your S30 car. The same wit hythe CarFax service.

More spam. We seem to get a lot of this crap lately.

I thought that this person might work for an insurance company-check the user info-nothing there.

If "allyssa" had a z(x), she would know that with more experienced cars like ours, getting insurance requires speaking with someone.

If kaisser is a real owner, perhaps she will check this thread and respond (maybe post some photos?).

Otherwise, maybe it can be deleted.

IMo, some of the info sounds about right. So this person could be connected to some insurance company somehow. That's a lot of work for just ONE post.

BTW, since an S30 car dosn't have a 17 digit VIN, you may run into problems with some of the 'streamlined' auto insurance companies like Geico, Progressive, CarFax. I tried to get a quote and got stopped at the part where you enter the car's "17 digit" VIN. which is 6 digits too short.

As for the spam- Internet forum websites originally required the admin to aprove a new user, which could take an hour of even a few days...

Yeah, I use Geico-but I called them to add my ZX, since I traded a car in on it. That CarFax thing is really irritating, though. It will only work for 1981 and newer cars.

As to the detail included in the original message, it's reasonable. But surely, anyone with a rare car, z or not, will have it insured already, for cryin' out loud.
