For example, if you’re interested in homeowners insurance, you could:
- Go to the Answer Financial website.
- Go to “Start a Quote,” select “Home Insurance” from the drop-down menu
and click “Go,” which will take you to the home insurance page.
- On the home insurance page, you can click on a variety of links for
more information about homeowners insurance or you can click on the “Homeowners
Insurance” link that appears under “Start a Quote for any of the following.”
- Enter the ZIP code where your home is located and click on “Give Me
Rates.”
- A form will appear, which you will need to complete to proceed. Enter:
- the location of your residence,
- street,
- city,
- the year in which your residence was built,
- your home’s basic construction (a drop-down menu provides choices),
- what protective devices your home has (a list is provided), and
- if one of the people named as the insured is over age 58, retired
and living in your household.
After entering that information, click on “calculate home rebuilding cost.”
If your browser pop-up blocker is on, you’ll need to turn it off or temporarily
allow pop-ups to access the calculator.
A new window will open where you’ll enter:
- the square footage of your home,
- the construction classification (a drop-down menu provides choices),
- the number of stories,
- the type of covering on the exterior walls (a drop-down menu provides
choices), and
- whether your home has a basement.
You can then click on “calculate value,” and the estimated value to rebuild
your home will be provided.
- You can then click on “recalculate” or “continue with this value.”
If you click on “recalculate,” you can change your values in the pop-up
window and get a new estimated value. If you click on “continue with
this value,” you’ll return to the form page where you can click on “coverage
info” at the bottom of the page.
- Several coverage values will appear, along with suggested coverages.
You can adjust your coverage amounts if you wish and select what you
want your deductible to be.
- Click on “view quotes” at the bottom of the page, and in seconds you’ll
receive quotes from three companies.
- You can save, print and/or e-mail your quotes. You also can apply for
coverage by clicking on the company you prefer. If you don’t want to
apply, you can save the quotes or just exit out of the web page. Receiving
quotes does not commit you to purchasing the product.
At any point in this process, you can stop, go back or contact a licensed
insurance provider.
It’s that easy! The process for obtaining information and quotes for other
types of insurance and services is similar to this example. Just follow
the instructions on each screen.
You also can get information and quotes and/or apply by calling Answer
