Car insurance rate comparisons can be easily made by completing the following steps:

  1. Spend some time learning about how companies set rates and the factors you can control to drop your rates. Many things that cause rate increases such as traffic violations and a less-than-favorable credit rating can be controlled by making minor driving habit or lifestyle changes.
  2. Compare rates from independent agents, exclusive agents, and direct companies. Exclusive and direct companies can only give prices from one company like GEICO or State Farm, while independent agents can quote rates from multiple insurance companies.
