Use consistent information

Provide the same household drivers, vehicles, garaging, use and mileage.

Match liability limits

Lower liability limits can make a quote cheaper while providing less protection.

Match deductibles

Keep collision and comprehensive deductibles consistent.

Check optional coverages

Rental reimbursement, roadside, medical-related and uninsured/underinsured motorist options can differ.

Look beyond monthly price

Review total premium, policy term, fees, discounts and payment assumptions.

Research the insurer

Price matters, but so do licensing, complaint information and claims service. State insurance departments are useful consumer resources.
