The question we hear most is this: "if I'm looking for insurance, why wouldn't I just use a search engine?" Search engines are great for almost anything. They make it easy to find books, DVDs, computer parts and pretty much anything else. The problem with search engines is that they they have to do the same thing for every type of product. The search engine is just a computer. It doesn't see any difference between a book, a printer, a telephone or an insurance policy. Those are just words that people type in.
We're different. We've been in the business for many years and know what makes insurance different than a pencil or a wallet. The first thing that's different is that not all insurance companies are the same. The search engine doesn't know which companies have "A" ratings, which are fly-by-night, which have good rates or easy quote forms. We do. We work with companies that have good ratings, offer simple quotes and provide good service. We monitor the feedback we get from users and have even stopped doing business with companies that we didn't think were providing good service.
The other major problem with using a search engine to find insurance is all of the listings you have to look through. When you type in your search, you're likely to get college papers, spam sites, even sites that are a scam. And, since insurance is sold by state, you'll have no idea whether each company provides insurance where you live. Finally, as you try to dig through the companies listed on the page, you would be lucky to find more than one line of text about each company. That often is just not enough information.
Here at IFC, we make it much easier to find what you are looking for. You select the product you want on the home page, type in your zip code and then select the "get quotes" button. That will bring up a list of companies that serves your area for the product you are looking for. Each listing shows the name of the company and has a full text description of what they offer. Read the description of each to see which ones you like and get a quote from all that fit your needs. It's that easy! No more sifting through search listings and filling out long quote forms just hoping that you'll find what you want.
One other note. Just like all of the major search engines, the insurance companies on our site pay us a promotional fee to appear on our site. These fees allow us to continue to bring you this service free of charge. You should know that we receive absolutely nothing when you buy a policy from one of these companies. Most important, we will not list any company that we think is a poor choice for our users. We work closely with each company to make sure the text listed is an accurate description of their service. We will not allow any company to describe themselves in a way that we find false or misleading. If you have any problems with the carriers listed on our service, please send us an email through the Contact Us page on our site. We want to continue to offer the finest choices to our users.
