There are four main ways to find insurance quotes:

1. Through a broker - The pros are that the insurance broker can deal with many companies and are independent. Therefore they are unbiased professionals working on your behalf. You will get personal service. The cons are that they do not deal with every insurer, so if you want to be sure that you are getting the best rate you still have to shop around a bit.

2. Through an agent - The pros are that an agent will know their product extremely well. And you will get personal service. The cons are that they are limited to only one, or maybe two choices for you. So they are biased and unable to shop around.

3. Direct Insurers - The pros are the convenience of shopping on your computer and they generally are a commission free structure which lowers costs a bit. The cons are that you are buying from a faceless corporation and will probably never speak with the same person twice.

4. Online Marketplaces - This is a newer phenomenon that came about as the internet gained popularity.
