Illinois Site Helps Consumers with Auto Coverage

Residents now have the option of comparing Illinois auto insurance rates through local agents or online. Through a network of hundreds of agents and carriers, http://www.illinoisautoinsurance.com lets visitors choose whether to conduct a rate comparison from multiple agents near them or from companies conducting business online.

The preferred method of purchasing auto insurance varies within consumers. A published survey last year indicated that roughly 30% of the population would not consider purchasing their next policy online due to the technicalities involved in a policy.

Those who enjoy the personalized service of an agent and prefer to speak to a live representative do not have to rely on traditional methods; instead, they can log on and complete one single questionnaire to have local agents complete for their business. This eliminates the searching process and helps consumers make a choice not only on availability, but on offered coverage and competitive premiums.

Reports show that about 60% prefer the convenience of purchasing their next policy online. The utilization of the Internet allows for comparisons to be conducted in a fraction of the time and comes with many additional benefits such as online policy management which includes making premium installments, requesting endorsements and checking policy status online.

Company representative Bill Pirro states, "We understand that Illinois residents have different preferences when it comes to shopping for auto insurance, that's why we offer visitors the option of comparing rates and purchasing a policy through local agents or online."

Shopping for competitive premiums allows consumers to ensure low rates. With record high premiums and a declining economy, consumers are back in the market looking for any savings they can get.
