Why we decided to create a better tool for researching car insurance
Before creating Rate Retriever, we were beyond frustrated with the unnecessarily complicated process of shopping for car insurance – and we weren’t alone.
Through our parent company, we worked with multiple sites that recommend insurers to consumers as well as actual insurance providers, so we saw first-hand just how unhappy consumers were with the current options they had when it came to shopping for car insurance.Â
While there’s no shortage of sites out there that claim to save users money on the insurance they need, none of them offer everything consumers look for. The general consensus is that most insurance comparison sites and similar publishers are hugely lacking when it comes to user experience as well as the number of accurate quotes.
Most consumer complaints boil down to two things: frustration and confusion.Â
So, we decided to try out these tools for ourselves to see what all the fuss was about. After going through dozens of insurance comparison sites and being relentlessly spammed with not much to show for it, we found ourselves in the same boat as consumers…which is to say we were one complicated comparison quiz with lackluster results away from just buying a bike and calling it a day. Â
Ultimately, though, we decided that if we wanted something done right, we’d just have to do it ourselves. Â
Simplicity: our guiding principle
We created Rate Retriever to be simple. Our team became intimately familiar with the key pain points of the industry – the lack of options, the inaccuracy of rates, the unending spam, the lengthy questionnaires – and we designed our tool to be the exact opposite. Â
Nobody – not even the team at Rate Retriever – wants to spend their day shopping for car insurance, so we set out to make the experience as painless (and fast) as possible. Immediately after finishing our short quiz, you will be met with data-backed insurance rate estimates from the top providers in your area.
No gimmicks. No limiting your options. Just real, personalized results.Â
How Rate Retriever is different
Our tool puts you back at the center of the experience, partnering with reputable insurance companies that really want you as a client.
And let’s not forget the best part: Retriever is 100% spam-free — like actually spam-free (we don’t even ask for your contact information before giving you your rates). Because again, this is about you, and we know that what you really want is to be done with us from the second you find your cheapest rate and close your browser.Â
For us, it all comes down to transparency, quality, and simplicity. Which is why we consider ourselves to be the golden standard for car insurance shopping.
