|
| Our Review: As far as internet insurance sites go, this place is one of the best. It’s a small local company so the service is good, and the website is easy to understand. There’s also a ton of information about insurance and insurance related topics that have useful content. |
|
| User Review: I liked shopping at Insurance.com because when you go there, all you have to do is type in your zip code and they take you to the quotes section right away. They also have helpful tips and information about auto insurance on their website, which was nice. |

|
| Company Overview: Kanetix was founded in 1999 to provide customers with one stop shopping for free insurance quotes. All of their business is done via e-commerce. Kanetix's ownership is split between its employees and its majority shareholder, the Great-West Life Assurance Company. |
|
| Our Review: Kanetix has a great website layout, and helpful customer service and FAQ sections. They offer fast quotes, as many other sites do, but their layout is a little less crowded, and more accessible. Unlike some sites where you get a page to enter information, but no links to information about the company or user support, this company lays it all on the line. |
|

|
| Company Overview: Formed in 1927 to provide Worker’s Compensation pay to GE employees. In the early 60’s they started selling other insurances to their employees. In 1966, the company was licensed to sell insurance to the general public. Electric Insurance has over $1 billion in assets, and 135,000 active customers. |
|
| Our Review: Electric Insurance was founded on the right principles, and seems to still hold to those principles today in their insurance sales. Their website is very easily navigated and the first thing they offer is a customer service phone number. It does seem slightly sales-oriented, however. |
|
| User Review: I worked for GE for twenty years, and already had my insurance with them due to this. I now pay my bill and manage my policy online, and never have any problems. The company is a pleasure to do business with, and everytime I need insurance for something, I call them first. |

|
| Our Review: Insurlane.com is a great resource, not only for insurance policies, but for insurance information as well. They’re the first site that we’ve seen state specific information available at. And their customer service center is readily available to help you when you need it. |
|
| User Review: Insurelane.com found me a cheap insurance policy with all the coverage I needed, and also helped me learn how I could lower my insurance rates and deductibles through my own actions. It was very helpful, and a great company to do business with. |

| How To Select The Best Company For Insurance Companies |
|
Finding the right insurance company to meet your needs will depend greatly on what your needs are. Many companies offer all kinds of coverage; others tend to specialize in one category or another. There are some insurance companies that only write car insurance policies, for example. Also, there are companies like Assurant Health, who only sell health insurance and life insurance. And even with the companies that do sell every kind of insurance, they might be better known for one particular category. For example, State Farm is best known for their homeowner’s and farm insurance, while Geico is more known for auto insurance policies. Many companies offer all insurances, but simply choose to capitalize on the types of insurance that are most profitable; they focus where they think they can make the most money. So when it comes time to choose an insurance company, get referrals from friends and business associates that have had good experiences with insurance companies for the same coverage you need. For example, if you need auto insurance, ask your friends and associates about their auto insurance. If you need home insurance, ask them about that. Don’t get a referral from a friend that is for a different category of insurance, because that company may not focus as much on that company, or the people working in that sector may not be as good as the people that your friend knows. Whatever you do, don’t settle with the first insurance company you talk to. Always do your research, shop around, and find the best deal. Sometimes, it’s also helpful to research on your own, and then seek the assistance of a local independent agency to find you the best policy. There is no extra charge for going to an agency, so it’s always a great option. Whatever you decide, don’t pick an insurance company at random. Do your homework, ask questions, and make an informed decision.
