We help you make smart insurance decisions
Our research, expert advice, guides and
tools give you the information you need to make the right insurance choices.
OUR PURPOSE
Since 2003, CarInsurance.com has
been providing unbiased, expert advice on how to shop for auto insurance and informing consumers on
what they should pay for coverage. Our team of experts uses
data-based reporting to assist millions
of website users every year by providing detailed guides and more than seven easy-to-use car
insurance tools and calculators.
Why you can trust us
Our mission is to help you make educated insurance decisions
with confidence. We have an advertising relationship with some of the offers included on our site.
However, this doesn’t influence our editorial judgment or recommendations. The rankings and listings
of our reviews, tools and all other content are based on objective analysis, and we fully own our
opinions.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND ON CARINSURANCE.COM

drive, and your insurance needs to instantly compare rates and policies from top
carriers. You can compare rates on your own, using our online calculators and
tools, get car insurance rate estimates recommended by our experts or get free
car insurance quotes after being matched instantly with top insurance providers
in your area.
Buying guides and reports
Our expert team has also created dozens of helpful guides
and reports to help you understand different coverage types, what you should
expect from your policy, and how much your policy should cost. Here are a few of
our top resources:
OUR PARTNERS AND SPONSORS
Our goal is to provide independent
car insurance buying advice readers can trust, and we do that on a daily basis. All rankings,
listings, reviews, tools, and other content are based on unbiased benchmarking and objective
analysis of data, and we fully own our opinions. We do accept advertising from some of the insurance
providers highlighted on this site, and we may earn a commission from our partners if you apply for
or buy a policy through those featured links. However, these partnerships do not influence our
editorial judgment or recommendations.
OUR TEAM OF EXPERTS
The Carinsurance.com team is made up of regular people with
insurance policy needs, just like you. We just happen to know a little more about insurance than the
average bear. We understand that insurance decisions can be confusing, and we’re here to help you
make smart choices. Insurance policies not only impact your wallet, they also can impact your
future. We’re here to help you make car insurance buying decisions with confidence.
