If you’re looking for a good Plano agent, we recommend you do an initial search by comparing prices online rather than picking up the phone. Consumers require a decent agent, but also the lowest rates for car insurance in Plano.
Because you have many insurance companies to choose from, it’s difficult to find the most affordable insurer.
Buying car insurance locally
Licensed agents can point out coverage gaps and help submit paperwork. The best thing about comparing insurance prices online is you can get the best rates but also keep your business local.
For easy comparison, once you complete this simple form, your insurance coverage information gets sent to local insurance agents who will compete for your insurance coverage. There is no need to leave your house because quoted prices will be sent to the email address you provide. How’s that for easy!
Picking an insurance agent requires more thought than just the price. These are valid questions to ask:
- Does the company allow you to choose your own collision repair facility?
- How many years of experience in personal lines insurance coverages do they have?
- If you have an accident, will your rates go up?
- Which insurance companies are they affiliated with?
- Which members of your family are coverage by the policy?
- If they are an independent agency, which companies do they recommend?
- Can they give you a list of client referrals?

But what about GEICO, Progressive and Esurance?
Insurance agents are indespensible for some people, but you also have the option of buying direct online. Certain companies like State Farm and Allstate that sell primarily through agents also allow consumers to quote and buy online, and online price comparisons are easy.
If you’re uneasy about whether or not you’ll have guidance when shopping online, don’t let it bother you. Online car insurance companies provide access to licensed agents that you can contact for information. In addition, they usually offer the ability to chat online live with a sales rep and online research to make it easier to purchase.
Does car insurance cost less online? It’s difficult to provide an answer since there are many things that determine the price you pay. It’s often assumed that a shopper who purchases direct saves money because there is no agent involvement. But the reality is there are high advertising and marketing costs and that impacts the rates consumers pay.

What is YOUR best insurance company?
Cheap car insurance can be found both online as well as from independent agents in Plano, so compare prices from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance companies don’t offer online price quotes and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.
Drivers switch companies for many reasons like high rates after DUI convictions, delays in responding to claim requests, an unsatisfactory settlement offer or even questionable increases in premium. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch finding a great new company is not as difficult as it may seem.
