Car insurance rate comparison means reviewing quotes from multiple insurers using identical coverage levels to see who offers the best price for your needs. Because every company evaluates risk differently, the cheapest insurer for one driver can be far more expensive for another. Comparing rates regularly — especially after life changes — helps you find the right mix of cost, coverage and service.

From drunk driving to texting behind the wheel, risky driving behaviors increase the chance of an accident and skyrocket insurance rates.
