Online Auto Insurance Launches Reviews Site to Empower Consumers

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- OnlineAutoInsurance.com, the originator of the nationwide public rating engine, has launched http://reviews.onlineautoinsurance.com/ to arm consumers with yet another useful tool to use in the process of shopping for coverage.

Evolving beyond its role of providing timely news on the industry and instant quotes from a variety of automobile insurers, the company is now allowing average drivers to share their experiences with providers and to benefit from the feedback of others.

"We are pleased to be able to provide consumers with insights from one of the most important sources in the insurance marketplace—their fellow consumers," said Cesar Diaz, founder of the site and a veteran agent. "It's very exciting to give customers another useful tool to add to their insurance shopping toolbox."

As anyone who has shopped for a policy knows, a quality coverage provider involves more than just a good price.

Policyholders want their claims handled quickly and efficiently. They would like to be able to contact their coverage provider and have their questions answered and concerns addressed in a prompt and professional manner. And saving a few bucks doesn't hurt, either.

The new auto insurance reviews site offers consumer-provided evaluations of 14 of the leading coverage providers in the industry, from Allstate to USAA, with a five-star rating system and easy-to-use features that let users browse and compare reviews of all insurers on factors like rates, service and claims.

Readers can visit the site to leave their thoughts on the service provided by their carrier, browse the comments left by others to get a feeling for their level of satisfaction, or do both.

Consumers are urged to use the new function along with online rate-comparison services and government data on insurers that can be found on regulators' websites, a directory of which can be found at http://www.usa.gov/directory/stateconsumer/index.shtml

The site complements existing services offered by OnlineAutoInsurance.com, including informative resource pages, an easy-to-use quote-comparison generator and breaking news and insightful analysis of industry trends.

The launch of the new review site is another step toward the company's vision of becoming the preferred, one-stop source for objective insurance information that empowers the individual online consumer.
