Cheap Southern California Auto Insurance Online
Reader question:
Is it possible to buy my Southern California auto insurance over the internet?

Thank you for asking, Ingrid.
One of the great introductions from the southern California auto insurance community to new technology has been the wide availability of southern California auto insurance policies on the internet. Most of the bigger southern California auto insurance companies have launched websites, where they allow their prospective customers to not only get quotes, but buy policies as well; and the service doesn’t end once you have your policy either. Many companies also offer account management for policy holders, so that you never have to pick up a phone or step into a southern California auto insurance office again.
Most companies which allow southern California auto insurance policies to be bought online can be divided into three types.
- Everything online.
Some of the more high tech southern California auto insurance companies offer everything online, including the final confirmation signature, which they accept electronically. This can be either from a simple typing of initals, or an actual signing function where you write out your name with your mouse.
- Halfway there.
Others will allow you to choose your car insurance coverage and policy and confirm everything, up until the point when you need to sign. While you are covered once you have completed the process, these southern California auto insurance companies will send you a form to your mailing address which you must sign and then return to them.
- Just a little bit.
The last type, which is more common among smaller southern California auto insurance companies, is where the companies will display the coverage information on their website, where the future policy holder can choose it and enter their information. Then, they will receive further information along with forms and request for payment in the mail, and they will not be covered until the payment is received. It’s actually cheaper to just go to the office with this one.
