Why car insurance comparison shopping is so important
What vehicle you drive, your driving record, where you live and more are major factors in carrier’s ratings for car insurance. As those things change, you could fall into a different rating tier which could be lower rates.
Carriers are changing their pricing all the time either trying to reduce price compared to the competition to gain market share or increasing price for the cost of doing business such as inflation and claims volumes.
Only by quoting your insurance will you know if you are still getting the best price.

Our tech can pull VIN number for your vehicles if you have owned then for at least a couple of months. Any new vehicles we need the basic info like year, make, and model.

Using insurance comparison sites like Brigade Insurance
A large benefit of using online insurance comparison sites is to avoid the painful task of going through the quoting process for many different companies and having each of them reach out to you.
