There's nothing in the world worse than having to sit through a long and unnecessary sales pitch when you're just trying to get a quote from a company for any of their products or services.

This is true for those that are looking for a free auto insurance quote - why have the company pitch their services before you even know how much they'll charge you?

Getting a free auto insurance quote shouldn't be difficult, and because there are many places online that offer these now, most brick and mortar locations that sell auto insurance are also offering free quotes over the phone.

You can easily use the yellow pages or do a quick local search on the internet for companies that will give a free online auto insurance quote.

Make sure you have the following information ready: the make and model of your car, the year, the mileage, points or tickets and accidents you've had over the past seven years, your health insurance coverage if any, and a list of other drivers in the home that may be using your car.

These things are all necessary to get your free auto insurance quote as they will affect your rates.


Several websites online offer a free auto insurance quote, including geico.com, esurance.com, and aigdirect.com. For these companies you'll need the same information as mentioned above.

Some will even provide you with quotes from competitors of theirs so that you can compare. It may take some time online or on the phone, but once you have your list of free auto insurance quotes then you can decide which company is best for you - and you didn't need to sit through a long sales pitch in order to get that insurance after all!

You can always ask a friends or relatives where they get their car insurance. They can tell you if they are happy with the company they are using.

There is no better recommendation than from your friends. You can compare the insurance companies they use with the ones you found online or on the phone and choose the one you like the best.
