How RateWire Works
Step One
Share a few details about yourself and your car. Our short form takes just a minute or two and lets us prepare personalized auto insurance quote options for you in seconds.
Step Two
Review your insurance options side by side. Seeing auto insurance quotes from multiple providers in one place makes it simple to choose what fits you best.
Step Three
Lock in lower rates for the coverage you actually need. Reduce your monthly auto insurance costs and put the extra savings toward your next vacation or home project.
The Same Coverage Can Cost Dramatically Different Amounts
Full coverage gives you the most complete protection available for your vehicle — but the price difference between carriers for identical coverage can be substantial. Two drivers with the same car and driving record can receive quotes that differ by hundreds of dollars per year.
Comparing full coverage quotes side by side is the only way to ensure you're getting the most protection for the least money.
Full Coverage Quote Factors That Affect Your Rate
| Factor | Impact on Premium | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle age and value | High | Newer vehicles cost more to insure |
| Deductible amount | High | $1,000 deductible vs $500 saves 15–25% |
| Driving record | Very High | One at-fault accident can raise rates 30–50% |
| Credit score (most states) | Moderate–High | Better credit = lower premiums |
| Annual mileage | Moderate | Under 7,500 miles/year often qualifies for discount |
| Garaging location | Moderate | Urban zip codes typically pay more |
ⓘ Rate impact varies by carrier and state. Some factors carry more weight at certain carriers than others.
