Where Can I Get Cheap Cranston Car Insurance?

Performing a rate comparison can be challenging if you aren’t aware of the fastest way to get free quotes. You can waste hours talking to insurance companies in Cranston, or you can stay home and use online quoting to get rate comparisons in just a few minutes.

Many popular insurance companies belong to a marketplace that allows shoppers to submit their information once, and at least one company returns a rated price for coverage. This system prevents you from having to do form submissions to each company.

The only drawback to getting quotes like this is you don’t know exactly which providers you will receive quotes from. If you wish to select from a list of companies for rate comparison, we have a page of companies who write car insurance in Rhode Island. Click here for list of insurance companies in Rhode Island.

However you get your quotes, double check that you are using apples-to-apples coverages and limits on every quote. If each company quotes different deductibles it will be impossible to make an equal comparison in Cranston. Slightly different coverage limits can make a big difference in price. And when price shopping your coverage, more quotes will improve the odds of getting the best offered rates.

When might I need the advice of an agent?

When choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is a little different so this has to be addressed. For example, these questions may help highlight whether or not you could use an agent’s help.

• Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
• Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
• Can I still get insurance after a DUI?
• Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?
• What if I total my vehicle and owe more than it’s worth?
• Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
• Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
• Is my vehicle covered for flood damage?
• Does my vehicle qualify for pleasure use?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Types of insurance agents in Cranston

When looking for a reliable agent, there are a couple of types of insurance agents to choose from. Insurance agencies in Cranston can either be captive or independent (non-captive).

Captive Insurance Agents

Captive agents can only write with one company like State Farm or Allstate. They generally cannot compare other company’s rates so they have to upsell other benefits. They receive extensive training on their products and sales techniques which helps them compete with independent agents.

Below is a short list of captive insurance agencies in Cranston that are able to give price quote information.

North American Family Inst – 735 New London Ave – Cranston, RI 02920 – (401) 946-2020
Allstate Insurance Co – 815 Oaklawn Ave – Cranston, RI 02920 – (401) 944-3366

Independent Agents

These agents are not required to write business for one company but rather can write business with many different companies and potentially find a lower price. If your agent finds better pricing, the business is moved internally and you don’t have to find a new agent.

When comparing rates, it’s recommended you get quotes from multiple independent agents to ensure the widest selection of prices.

Central Agency – 166 Atwood Ave – Cranston, RI 02920 – (401) 942-2323
