Yes, you can get car insurance quotes online.

You can sit in the comfort of your home and get quotes from several insurance companies for the best rates for your auto insurance.

Do your homework first. Make sure you are familiar with state limits and requirements. Know what you want. You can save money with minimum limits as required by the state, but higher limits will protect you better.

Make sure you have the right underwriting information and be aware of your losses. If you've had many losses with your current carrier, it will affect your rate with the new carrier.

Even though you can do everything on line it still pays to speak to a representative. Person to person contact may elicit little money saving tips and information on credits companies may offer. For instance, did you know that if you have a teen driver with grades of B or above, you may be entitled to a rate credit? Online applications may not offer this advice.

If you have your eye on a brand new sports car, sometimes you might want to speak to a person before you go ahead and get a quote. They might be able to advise you on which features to get in order to save a dollar here or there.

Make sure the company is reputable. Because they have an online presence it doesn't mean that they are a reputable company. Do your research. Check with AM Best, an agency that monitors the financial responsibility of insurance companies. Also check with your state to see if there are any outstanding complaints against the insurance company you're getting quotes from.

The internet makes it very easy to get auto quotes, just do your homework.
