INSW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- InsWeb Corporation (NASDAQ: INSW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today announced the launch of
BestInsuranceMatch.com -- the first website that allows consumers to
request free car insurance quotes directly from companies they choose
based not only on price, but on factors such as financial strength
and local agent presence as well.
"BestInsuranceMatch.com delivers the first real innovation in
insurance comparison shopping in a very long time," said Brad Cooper,
Senior Vice President at InsWeb. "The site provides consumers with a
quick and easy way to find insurance providers that are most likely
their best fit, as well as complete control over how and by whom
they're contacted."
Here's how it works: After arriving at BestInsuranceMatch.com, a
consumer must first select up to three features he or she feels are
most important in a good car insurance company. 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 is then asked to complete a simple questionnaire -- it
takes less than ten minutes -- that requests information about
vehicle(s), driver(s), and coverage needs. When completed,
BestInsuranceMatch.com's proprietary algorithm considers the top-30
national car insurance companies and provides up to six "matches."
These matches are the companies most likely to provide the consumer
with competitive pricing as well as offer the features he or she
feels are most critical.
After viewing the results, the consumer can choose to be contacted by
one or all of these insurance providers by submitting a simple request
form. Alternatively, the consumer can visit a company's website or
contact a company's agents directly via information provided on the
site.
"BestInsuranceMatch.com really zeroes in on what online insurance
shoppers are looking for these days," added Cooper. "Our system finds
out what's important to the consumer, looks for the best deal, and
gives them options to meet their needs. It's a simple concept, but it
requires a lot of new technology to make it happen."
