Pro: The most obvious pro of using QuoteWizard is that it allows you to select the best rate from its network of partnering insurance companies. All you have to do is fill out one quick online form to pre-qualify for auto insurance from a range of car insurance companies. And best of all, you don’t even need to enter any sensitive information such as social security number of vehicle identification number to see a quote – a few basic details about yourself and your vehicle will suffice.
Con: QuoteWizard’s service can save you time and energy. However, you should be aware that by entering your contact details to get a quote, you can expect to get calls and/or emails from partnering insurance companies. This could be a pro or con, really: on the one hand, it can be annoying getting several calls during the workday; but on the other, each of these insurance companies is pitching for you to become a customer – and the more competition, the lower the rates.
Note that QuoteWizard isn’t a direct insurance provider. It makes referrals to car insurance providers but doesn’t provide any insurance policies itself.
