I couldn't find a previous thread - I keep hearing that you should always check rates and not stay w/the same company forever - I decided to try to do this (I have auto/homeowners/personal catastrophe) - I've been w/the same company for over 20 yrs. - I tried to search online and found things like Net Quote, etc. - they ALL seem to want a phone number and you have to agree to calls related - I don't want my phone ringing off the hook from every "Tom/Dick/Harry" company out there - is there a way to actually get online, email quotes without having to submit to a million phone calls?

I'm not unhappy w/my insurance (no claims for me, late husband many yrs. ago), just want to see if I can save any money - thanks for any tips.

put in a fake phone number.

This one doesn't require any personal information: Compare Car Insurance Rates | NerdWallet Finance

Google offers insurance rate quotes: https://www.google.com/compare/autoi...ce/form?p=home

Last time I checked rates I probably went to 7 or 8 comparison sites, if they wanted my phone number I put down a made up number in my area code (sorry to whoever owns those numbers) I finally found a site that gave me a quote for USAA and it beat the heck out of all the other rates.

Hmmm... I actually went through some sites, send my real contact info. to USAA as they had some good rates, the auto reply was I would hear from someone w/i 24-48 hrs. - hasn't happened yet.

Just to update - USAA apparently doesn't care about getting new people, NO return on the email, no return on the phone message either. I'm staying with my current company.
