Car insurance rates vary by person and by company. Who you pick as your insurance provider can be just as impactful as your driving record.
It is recommended to compare auto insurance quotes from different companies every six months.
The fastest way to get multiple quotes is with independent agents or comparison websites.
Insurance Management is both an independent insurance agency and a comparison website. Whether you’re ready to compare car insurance or just looking for a quick answer, Insurance Management is here to help.
Your driving record, your vehicle, and where you live are major factors that affect car insurance rates. But who you choose to insure your vehicle is just as important.
For example, below are the average rates for a 30-year-old male driver with full coverage.

Sometimes an insurance company is cheap for a reason. After an accident, it’s not the time to regret choosing a provider with poor customer service or a weak claims record. Before purchasing a policy, be sure to review national and regional ratings—like the Insurance Management Satisfaction Survey—to make an informed choice.
Regardless of how you obtain car insurance rates, you’ll need the following information ready:
Personal information — including your date of birth, driver’s license number*, and address
Driving and insurance history of all drivers on the policy
Vehicle information for all vehicles, including the VIN*
Payment details — if this is your first policy, a down payment is usually required before the policy is finalized
*Note: You can get a quote without a VIN or driver’s license number, but you won’t be able to purchase your policy without them.
The benefit of using online insurance comparison sites is clear: you avoid the tedious process of requesting quotes from many different companies.
However, be cautious—many popular sites aren’t true comparison tools but lead aggregators. They collect and sell your data to insurance companies, who may then contact you repeatedly in pursuit of your business.
To avoid spam emails, texts, and calls, carefully review the website’s privacy disclosures and how they make money. We recommend choosing websites or companies that are independent insurance agents. Independent agents are licensed and authorized to write policies from multiple insurance providers, offering you genuine options and personalized service.
This is exactly what Insurance Management offers. With our comparison tool, you fill out just one form to receive multiple quotes — all on a single page. Our team of independent insurance agents partners with over 100 companies across the U.S. Together, we help you compare policies by price and coverage level.
Insurance Management does not partner with lead generation sites. We never sell your information. We earn money by helping you get insured, but we won’t sell you a policy if you already have the right coverage at the best price.

Insurance companies use your previous driving history as a predictor for future driving behavior. Speeding tickets, DUIs, and at-faults accidents can be “chargeable” offenses on your driving record for 3-10 years (depending on your state). If you have any of these or similar driving violations, shopping around as often as possible is pivotal.
