Keep in mind that the questions insurance companies ask you on their application is to provide a better risk assessment in order to give you a binding quote, so you can purchase your new auto insurance policy online.
If you’re still a little worried about getting a quote online you can always call the insurance company directly, but, it’s a very easy and safe process to do it online without the hassle of a pushy salesperson on the other end.
