Every time I try to compare car insurance rates, I end up regretting it almost immediately because my phone starts ringing constantly for weeks. I usually put my information into one of those online quote comparison sites, and then it feels like every agent within a 200-mile radius suddenly has my number.
Today alone, I got calls almost every hour from numbers I didn’t recognize, and of course nobody ever leaves a voicemail. I just want to see if I can find a better rate without signing myself up for a month of random calls and texts.
For people who have actually found the cheapest car insurance without getting spammed nonstop afterward, what’s the best way to compare rates? Do you go directly through insurance company websites, use a broker, make a burner email or number, or is there some other method that works better?
