How Rate Retriever works

We make shopping for insurance a walk in the park. Our free research tool allows you to compare a comprehensive list of insurance companies tailored to your individual needs.

Our goal is to help you make an informed decision when choosing your next insurance provider. 

How our tools work​

Every insurance company has a different way of assigning rates based on your driver profile. When you take our quiz, you’re building a driver profile that we use to estimate the price you can expect to pay at top car insurance companies in your state

How we calculate our rates

Insurance companies assign rates to drivers based on their unique rating plans. These plans must be submitted to the state department of insurance to ensure they are fair, affordable, and meet all state regulations. We use this rating data along with any available discounts to more accurately calculate the rate you can expect to pay for leading insurance companies in your area. 

An important note: we may make some general assumptions that may impact the prices you see (such as the number of traffic violations you have). We give you the opportunity to improve the accuracy of your results by providing us with more details.  You do this when you complete your profile.
