We encourage people to do extensive comparison shopping because they can actually find quotes that are dirt cheap. However, there are things that make a quote a good deal. If they are missing, then you've bought trash no matter how low an amount you paid. Let's look at some of them...

1. How solid is the company in question? Do they have a good rating with independent financial rating institutions? You certainly don't want to buy from unscrupulous insurers who put unnecessary hurdles before policyholders when they file claims.

Are their policyholders complaining? How quickly do they resolve complaints filed? Don't buy from an insurer who does NOT show enough commitment to it's insurers. Check with BBB (Better Business Bureau) and your state's department of insurance.

Furthermore, make sure the insurer in question is licensed to sell auto insurance in your state. Check with your state's department of insurance to verify this.

2. Does your super-low quote come with super-high deductibles? An insurer could give very low quotes and then place very high deductibles on the policy. This is neither good nor bad. It all depends on what your auto insurance needs are. Just make sure you get what serves your best interest.

3. If your driving record is NOT so great, make sure that their forgiveness period is good for you (Insurers have a given number of years after which they clear your records of any accidents or moving violations).

If you're satisfied with these things then you have a great deal. Some insurers offer very low quotes to specific profiles. The reasons for this are beyond the focus of this article.

Also, do your best to read through your policy details and have all your questions answered before you buy.

Now that you know what to look for in a quote, why NOT make yours the lowest quote that also gives adequate coverage? Get and compare quotes from a wide range of insurers and you could save yourself hundreds in premium dollars.
