Peter, you know, the answer to your question is much simpler than anyone would think. The only difference between cheap online car insurance and the insurance policies that you get the non-digital way is just the manner by which you acquired the insurance.

Getting cheap online car insurance saves you much time, effort and money because you do not have to go to numerous car insurance companies or to call them yourself one by one. You just need to have the basic knowledge in computers and, of course, Internet access, then, voila, you could finish your cheap car insurance application in a matter of minutes.

On the other hand, getting insurance the more familiar way gets you answers to your questions immediately. It is because the agent or broker is right there with you to explain any confusion or any concerns that might arise. Needless to say, you then get the sense of security that you are dealing with people who understand your needs and not just a program designed to give you instant car insurance quotes.

Now, regarding your question on instant quotes you get online, all I can say is that the quotes are just as reliable as the company from whom you are getting the quotes. You should always check the list of accredited companies to be sure. You can find this on the Web site of your state’s Insurance Department.

So, there you go. I hope I answered your question.
