Just a few years ago getting auto insurance quotes had to be done personally by calling each company and going to see them, however now you can get online auto insurance quotes easily, just doing a quick search will provide you with several options for you to choose, however many people are concern about giving their personal details online.
One thing that you have to keep in mind is that not all sites online are trustworthy, when you want to buy something online, you need to make sure that you are dealing with a good company.
Now, to get a car insurance quote, you dont need to provide your credit card details or pay anything, however you do need to enter your vehicle details and personal info such as age, location, driving record, etc.
There are a few options, you can go directly to the auto insurance companies websites and get a quote or use comparison websites that provide you a quote from each company.
  If you want to compare rates from several companies is best to choose the second option, however you have to make sure that the companies that will provide you a quote are known and have been in the market for a while.
You should avoid sites from companies that are new in the market or dont have any background history of financial stability.
You should also avoid using those auto insurance sites that ask you for your credit card information just to give you a quote.
On the other hand there are many sites that help to compare auto insurance quotes from the top carriers and that will only ask you for the necessary information to give you a quote.
Make sure that you provide your real information, because otherwise the quotes that the companies will give you will not be accurate and that could cause you problems in the future.
