A car insurance site with a difference: it’s actually useful!

March 31st, 2008

When you’re shopping around for car insurance, after a while it starts to sink in that all the sites are pretty much the same.

Most of them are but one car insurance site that is that little bit different is Car Insurance Rates. Sure, it’s got the standard quote engine that all sites seem to sport these days and the questions that they ask are pretty much the same as the other car insurance sites ask. Of course, they have to be as that’s what the insurance companies base their rates on.

However, where this site is different is that the quote engine seems almost an after-thought as the site is built along the lines of a general insurance advice site. For example, they tell you which cars are the most commonly stolen (don’t buy a Honda Civic if you want to avoid that!). Which are the most difficult to insure: a list that’s dominated by imports as you’d expect but not in the sequence that I would have put them in. Naturally, the counterpart to that list is those that are easiest to insure which has all the traditional domestic autos in it. All that information is obviously available to the insurance companies but this is the first site I’ve come across which collects it together for you.

It doesn’t just give rundowns on the car but provides more general advice as to how to get the lowest insurance and so on.

Worth looking at for the advice and guidance that they have on the site and you might even end up buying your insurance through them too!
