When’s the last time you checked car insurance rates? Car Insurance is not usually something you think much about. You have it, you pay it, end of story. But how often do you take the time to compare insurance quotes to make sure you’re still getting a good deal? I know it’s not the most thrilling use of your time, but you could be missing out on huge savings. Reducing the cost of your insurance is a quick win that can save you significant money. The Zebra helps you easily compare rates so you can save money even faster.
Simple and Easy to Use
The Zebra website walks you through the process, asking you questions about your current insurance, your cars and your driving record. Then it asks various questions to see if you’d be eligible for any discounts. You just need the year, make and model of your cars and the birthdays of any drivers you want to insure. That’s it!
The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.
Comparing Apples to Apples
The Zebra organizes your offers into 4 different tabs based on the amount of coverage you’re looking for: Minimum, Basic, Better and Best. I love this because you know you’re comparing similar plans from different companies.
Minimum is 25k/65k bodily injury, 15k property damage, no comp or collision
Basic is 25k/65k bodily injury, 25k property damage, 1k comp and collision, plus 50k/100k uninsured motorist
Better is 50k/100k bodily injury, 50k property damage, 500 comp and collision, plus 50k/100k uninsured motorist, roadside assistance and rental reimbursement
Best is 100k/300k bodily injury, 50k property damage, 250 comp and collision, plus 100k/300k uninsured motorist, roadside assistance and rental reimbursement
There’s a little “What’s included” link under each tab that will give more details.
I like to have my current policy on hand so I can look for a comparable policy. Make sure you also have the current price of your policy, so you can compare prices.
New Companies
Every time I use The Zebra, it shows me offers from companies I totally forgot about. They also show smaller companies I haven’t heard of, so make sure you’re smart and vet any company you decide to go with. Personally, I stick to the best deal from one of the major insurance companies. But often I end up going with a company I wouldn’t have remembered to get a quote from if I was comparing rate on my own.
Fit to Your Needs
The Zebra lets you filter your results, so you get a company and policy that fits your needs. You have options like, apply online, local agents, no credit check and autopay. Select the filters you want and you are left with a list of policies that fit your needs, listed in order from lowest to highest price.
Start Your New Policy!
Once you’ve found “the one”, and assuming you picked a company you can apply to online, just click on the “Confirm Now” button to be taken straight to the insurance site to start signing up for your new policy!
In less than an hour I was able to compare rates, find a cheaper policy, and sign up for it- saving me $600 a year! All online, without any hassle.
Car insurance is not something that takes up a lot of space in my thoughts, but you can save a significant amount by reassessing your insurance every year or couple years. With Zebra, it’s a quick and easy process to save significant money. Don’t throw your money away, make sure you’re getting the best deal on your car insurance.
