Rates change frequently. The company that was the best value years ago might no longer be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Car insurance is a big item in many budgets. Saving 5 or 10% can mean $100 or more. So what&#8217;s the best way to shop for car insurance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Gather Information<\/strong> <strong>from Your Policy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vehicle description, including VIN;<\/li><li>Driver information (dates of birth, license numbers);<\/li><li>Details about claims, accidents or violations in the last 5 years;<\/li><li>Current coverage limits and deductibles.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2. Decide Where to Get Your Quotes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have 3 basic options for insurance quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>DIY &#8211; go online or call an 800 number. You&#8217;ll get one quote at a time from a company like GEICO or Progressive. You&#8217;ll need to call a few agents to get comparison quotes.<\/li><li>A company agent, like Liberty Mutual, State Farm or Allstate. You&#8217;ll still get only one quote. That means you&#8217;ll have to call several to compare. But unlike the DIY option, an agent will be able to offer custom advice and answer your questions.<\/li><li>An independent agent, like Noyes Hall &amp; Allen. They provide custom advice and answers like a company agent, with the added convenience of  quotes from several insurers at once. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comparing quotes from different car insurance companies isn&#8217;t easy. Each company&#8217;s presentation looks a little different. Some may not offer the coverage limits you asked for. And they may not even tell you that it&#8217;s not the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Compare Car Insurance Quotes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This 6:40 video explains what to look for, and what to watch out for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soapbox.wistia.com\/videos\/aiuL9ps7lH\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/embed-ssl.wistia.com\/deliveries\/83ba67e105beea3539c5f06e9206541d.jpg?image_crop_resized=800x450\" alt=\"How to compare car insurance quotes \"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We Help You Compare Car Insurance Quotes<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in Maine or are moving to the Portland Maine area, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noyeshallallen.com\/contact-us.html\">Noyes Hall &amp; Allen Insurance agent<\/a> can help.
