Going with the right kind of car insurance can save you a lot of money and possible frustrations and headaches in the long-run. So it’s just as important for people to know how to locate the right insurer as it is to find the cheapest rates. Here are some tips to help you out:

1. Read Consumer Testimonials – Go to websites like my3cents.com and TopTenReviews.com to read through actual customer feedbacks regarding the companies/insurers you’re eyeing. You will find these reviews quite insightful and will give you an idea as to how certain companies treat their customers (which could be you in the future).

2. See Car Insurance Company Ratings – Companies like A.M. Best, Standard & Poor’s and J.D. Powers, in a nutshell, rate the performance of different insurers so that you (the consumer) will know which ones are the best-overall companies and which ones are just “the rest”. Visit their websites and be enlightened.

3. Visit Your State’s Department of Insurance Website – Another great place to find the right car insurance company for you is through your state department of vehicle (Google it). This website will also inform you about important rules and requirements about car insurance coverage in your state.

4. Go to the Better Business Bureau Homepage – Keeps track of the business practices of insurers in your area (both good and otherwise). Like your state department of insurance website, the BBB can also provide valuable information to help you decide on the best car insurance company.

5. Compare Prices Effectively - Of course, price is still quote important. Using car insurance comparison websites (like this one) will allow you to obtain the latest car insurance rates and offers, enable you to compare more insurers easily, and maximize your chances of finding the best coverage.
