Upon visiting the website, a consumer selects up to three features that he feels are most important in a car insurance company. These options include:

• Financial strength

• Local agent presence

• Multiple product offerings

• 24-hour customer service

• 24-hour claim service

• Ability to buy online

• Ability to manage policies online

• Monthly payment options

The consumer then completes a quick questionnaire, providing basic information about drivers, vehicles and coverage needs. After submitting this information, BestInsuranceMatch.com compares the consumer's responses to the top-30 car insurance companies and provides up to six of the best "matches." These matches are the companies most likely to offer the consumer the features he selected at a competitive rate.

From there, consumers may choose to be contacted by any or all insurance providers for free, or may visit the carrier's website directly.
