Get potentially lower car insurance rates with Compare.com!

{This post is sponsored by Compare.com. Read our disclosure policy here.}

Looking for a simple way to cut your monthly budget? I always recommend looking at your regular monthly expenses to see if you can lower any of them.

If you haven’t checked your car insurance rates in a while, I definitely encourage you to do so and I have a simple way you can do so. Compare.com makes it really quick and easy to price check your car insurance and not feel overwhelmed by your options.

If you haven’t heard of Compare.com, their goal is to educate consumers about comparing car insurance rates and help them find the best possible rate — without all the hassle and headache!

And the best part? It’s completely FREE to get a quote and it only takes a few minutes!

Here’s how to run a quick comparison for FREE:

Go HERE.
Enter your zip code and click the “start comparing” button.
Go through the process of entering your information. (Note: You do NOT have to put your phone number in! Just leave that blank. If you don’t leave it blank, you will receive texts and phone calls, so I would recommend leaving it blank — unless you are okay with getting texts and phone calls.)
After you sign up, you’ll get back multiple car insurance rates and be able to compare them to see if any of them are lower than what you are currently paying.

I went through the process and it took about 5 minutes to do so and then they gave me 6 different rates 30 seconds after I clicked submit. I was happy to see that we are actually getting the same rate as the lowest rate option they had. That was encouraging — and it made me glad to have checked just to verify that we do, indeed, have a great rate.

(As a side note, we have our car insurance through SafeCo and we had only recently switched to them. They were amazing to work with when I had my recent accident and we only can say really, really good things about them. So if you find a great rate on Compare.com for SafeCo, we would highly recommend it.)

This is such a simple way to quickly check if you’re spending too much on car insurance and save money on a monthly bill! Be sure to let us know if you find out that you can get a lower rate on Compare.com!
