About Online Car Insurance Quotes

 
Do people really buy car insurance online? They certainly get online car insurance quotes. Drivers see car insurance as problematic and look for solutions online. Motorists do a lot of research online. They read reviews and make comparisons.

They also see the Internet as being fun, convenient, private and a place they might find bargains and novelty. Car insurance comparison sites were novel only a short time ago.

Online shopping is fun. Especially when it's window shopping or kicking tyres as they say in the auto industry. However shopping for car insurance quotes can be frustrating.

It's convenient. You can look at car insurance online when you want with very little time and effort. It's when you need to compare a lot of car insurance quotes, it gets very time-consuming.

Privacy. You can look at what you want. Get car insurance quotes online for whatever you wish. You don't have to talk to a salesperson. But you do need to give your personal details. It means you get a lot of car insurance companies trying to win your business every year.

Bargains. Some Internet users believe online businesses have lower costs and think their savings will be passed to buyers as lower prices. Well ...

Let's look at a few facts:

  • The Internet is a real market place where lots of buyers and sellers meet.
  • A real market place is highly competitive. If you search 'free car insurance quotes' in July 2010, Google list over 76 million results. 'online car insurance quotes' 61 million results. 'buy car insurance' near 65 million results.  Can you imagine the time, effort and money spent on getting to the top of these supposed free listings.
  • Look at the paid listings and the competition. What does that cost?
  • The Internet is a playground. You could publish a page selling an item for a high price in the hope a mug will push the buy now button. You could have a page with an ultra low lost leader price followed by a list of add-ons needed to put value on the item.
  • On the Internet both buyer and seller are isolated. Buyers can research their options, look at features and work it out for themselves. They then look for the best offer, the best deal.
  • Somehow this doesn't work. We still need to make the phone call or visit to get true understanding.

In the 90s the Internet was promoted as place where you'd no longer have to tolerate salespeople. You just needed to go online. This didn't happen because at the time people feared the Internet, didn't think they could work it and didn't know how it would benefit them. How things have changed.

Today, users love the Internet, use it with ease and know what's in it for them. They even know the seller has bought their product in China for a pound, priced it at £100 and discounted it to £50. They buy all the same.

However some buyers know when to pick up the phone or visit before they buy. And they know how many times they have to do that before they get a bargain..
