Auto Insurance at InsWeb
http://www.insweb.com/

This site is - like most of those in this category - very good. Everything is done on secure pages and there are good explanations next to the questions if you are uncertain about what is being asked. InsWeb does not sell insurance itself but rather gathers quote from a variety of companies based on the information you input.

Pros:
All pages for information collection are secure and well documented. The quote request process takes only about 5 minutes to complete. The Learning Center (top right-hand area of page) has excellent information on auto insurance.

Cons:
You do have to supply your street address, phone number and email address to see the quotes that InsWeb has obtained for you (but this is on a secure page).

How to:

• Get a Quote
  Simply work your way through the secure question pages to receive quotes from a number of companies.
  
  

Car Insurance Quote & Rate: Auto Insurance - Progressive
http://auto.progressive.com/

The quoting process is a bit longer on Progressive's site than on InsWeb but the pages are well laid out, easy to understand and well explained. The site is very similar to InsWeb but lacks any useful supplemental information regarding insurance.

Pros:
All pages for information collection are secure and well documented. The quote request process takes about 10 minutes to complete. The site is available in Spanish.

Cons:
You do have to supply your street address, phone number and email address to see the final page of quotes (but this is on a secure page). There is no useful information about car insurance that would be helpful to the insurance shopper.

How to:

• Get a Quote
  Simply put your zip code in the box, click on the Quote & Compare button and complete the subsequent pages of questions.
  
  

esurance Auto Insurance
http://www.esurance.com/

This site promises a quote within minutes. Previously it differed from InsWeb and Progressive in that it only offered a single quote but now you can see quotes from other companies too. Well done esurance.

Pros:
All pages for information collection are secure and well documented. The process takes 5 minutes or less to complete. You don't have to supply much personal information to get a quote. The learning center has excellent information on auto insurance . To compare quotes from other companies go through the whole quote generating process and then at the end (when you see esurance's quote) click on the Compare Rates with Other Companies tab (to the right of the Esurance Quote Details tab).

Cons:
You do have to surrender some personal information but it is on secure pages.

How to:

• Get a Quote
  On the main page simply input your zip code in the box and click on the Go button. Complete the subsequent pages of questions to get your quote. See above for how to see quotes from other companies as well as esurance's quote.
  
  

Free Insurance Quotes | Auto, Homeowners, Life and Health Insurance
https://www.insurecom.com/

This site does not offer you immediate quotes (or even a single quote) on auto insurance. The quote request process is simple and done on secure pages but the lack of an immediate quote is a real negative. There is no supplemental information on the site.

Pros:
All pages for information collection are secure and the process is quick and easy to follow.

Cons:
You are not shown immediate quotes, rather a number of insurance providers will get back to you with quotes within 48 hours. There is no additional information that would be of value to insurance shoppers on the site.

How to:

• Get a Quote
  On the main page select Auto from the drop down list to the right of the "Choose an insurance type" heading, enter your zip code in the next box, indicate if you presently have auto insurance and then click on the Start Quote button. Answer the questions on the subsequent pages - within 48 hours a number of providers will get back to you with quotes.
