You’ve heard the news: studies show that you’re likely to save 25% more on auto insurance by shopping online. That’s great, but where do you go? Do you fire up a search engine and take pot luck? Do you go only to the big-name insurance companies and hope they have a deal? You could probably find cheap car insurance either way, but really savvy shoppers know that their online destination should be CarInsuranceList.com. What’s so special about this site? Let me give you a list:

• All auto insurance, all the time: CarInsuranceList.com maximizes the customer experience by focusing on just one kind of insurance, and they do it well. Every aspect of car insurance is addressed, from specialty coverage to how to deal with an SR22 requirement, and they also offer tips and tricks on how to save money.
• Company reviews: Because CarInsuranceList.com isn’t an insurer, but a sort of conduit to all of them, they can be objective about all the players in the auto insurance game. To that end they offer reviews of many of the most popular auto insurers, including what products are offered, and what visitors should know about their websites.
• Articles: While general information is great, this site also offers an article library. These pieces are in-depth explorations into aspects of auto insurance and auto ownership that you just can’t get anywhere else. Current offerings include advice about safety for women driving cars alone, and a look at the statistics of motorcycle accidents now that more drivers are trading their big SUVs for smaller ‘cycles.
• Industry News: CarInsuranceList.com also offers a frequently-updated series of news bulletins offering information on changes within the industry. Policy and legislative decisions, rate hikes, and even special promotions are all highlighted in this section, which also shows just how much the insurance landscape varies from state to state, as well as from year to year.

All of these things are wonderful, and keep visitors on the page, but let’s face it, every insurance site is only as good as its quote engine. In this case, CarInsuranceList.com really excels. First, the button to request a quote is on every page, easy to find without being obnoxious or obtrusive. Second, the engine itself is really simple to use. All you have to do is answer a few simple questions about the make and model of the car you wish to insure and your basic driving habits, plug in your contact information, and wait. Your information is transmitted via secure server, and you’ll receive an email message with information from an insurance company or agent doing business near your home or office.

Many sites offer some of these services. CarInsuranceList.com offers them all, in a clean, user-friendly format. Why go anywhere else?
