I know several people who have submitted their information into one of the many "online auto insurance quotes" and now they have solicitors all over them, on their phone, emails, junk mail and even one case of Social Security Identity theft. So my question is: Are these online auto insurance quotes really safe? Doesn’t it make sense to stay with a local auto insurance agent you can do business with either on the phone or in person.

There are a bunch of websites where all you have to do is fill out a short form and they will give you an estimate from a bunch of different companies. You can choose the cheapest one from there. http://www.autoinsuranceestimate.info/ is a good one.
