Shop without the pressure

Like you, we don't like to feel pressured when we're shopping for anything, especially for insurance. When you get free insurance quotes for shopping purposes, we don't think you should have to provide personal information like your Social Security Number.

We also think it's easier to get free insurance quotes yourself, without the pressure of having to talk to someone who's trying to sell you something over the phone. Some other auto insurance websites actually ask for personal information or have an agent call you after you've gotten free insurance quotes, even if you're just shopping around.

To get your auto insurance quote from Esurance, you don't have to talk to anyone or enter any of your personal information. All you have to do is enter general information about the cars and drivers you want to insure. You don't even have to use your name to get your quote.

That's because we're able to give you a pretty accurate quote estimate based on things like ZIP Codes and car models. The only time you'll ever have to provide personal information like your Social Security Number is when you buy an auto insurance policy from us. And, because of our commitment to safeguarding our customers' privacy, once you're an Esurance policyholder, your personal information remains private.

Remember that direct to you online = savings

In addition to saving time when you shop for insurance, buying insurance directly online also saves you money. When you buy insurance directly online, you typically benefit from lower rates. Insurance companies are able to offer lower rates when they sell insurance directly to you online because they save on operating costs. Companies pass this savings on to you in the form of lower insurance rates.

With Esurance auto insurance, we keep our rates affordable because we've cut out a lot of the operating costs associated with the insurance business, particularly in terms of paperwork processing.

That's how we're able to offer 24/7 customer service and claims handling, reliable auto insurance coverage, and the convenience of the Internet — all for lower rates! It's good to remember that, no matter what kind of insurance you're buying, directly online saves you money and time!

Shop around

Sometimes, loyalty doesn't pay. You may be paying more than you need to by staying with the same auto insurance company! Every 6 months, you should compare prices with several auto insurance companies to find the best deal. You may be surprised at how much you save when you shop around.

Most people don't know that they can change and cancel their policies anytime. You don't have to wait until your policy expires or renews to take advantage of a better deal on auto insurance. However, because you never want to have a gap in your auto insurance coverage, it's better to sign up for new coverage and then cancel your existing policy. When you get a quote on your auto insurance at Esurance, you can compare prices with other insurance companies.
