At Compare.com, it’s our mission to give you the tools to find the best (and most affordable) insurance for your unique needs and budget. We strive to provide information that’s helpful, clear, and unbiased, and we believe that comparing insurance companies should never put you at risk of spam. Our editorial team — which is made up of experienced writers, editors, insurance agents, and data analysts — has spent thousands of hours researching and creating the coverage overviews, side-by-side comparisons, and detailed reviews you see across our site.
While we make money through partnerships with some of the brands we discuss in our articles, our editorial team operates 100% independently, and these partners never influence or affect the topics, reviews, ratings, or recommendations we provide. We never guarantee favorable reviews or mentions in exchange for compensation from any brands or partners, and we uphold strict editorial standards to ensure our content is always independent, truthful, and unbiased.
Insurify is a “virtual insurance agent” that lets you easily and quickly compare quotes from various car, home, renters, pet, and life insurance companies in a single place. By providing some personal information and answering a few questions about the various factors that help determine insurance rates, you’ll get personalized quote comparisons in a few minutes.
CEO Snejina Zacharia founded Insurify in 2013 after she was involved in a minor accident and discovered firsthand that insurance shopping is a complex and often stressful process.
Learn more about the company, Insurify reviews, and what to consider in this guide.
Insurify is licensed to sell auto insurance in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
You can also use Insurify to get quotes and buy policies for home, renters, and pet insurance.
Like Compare.com, Insurify doesn’t sell users’ data, so you don’t risk spam emails or unwanted phone calls when you use the site to compare quotes.
Insurify is a one-stop platform to compare quotes and find the best deals on insurance. As a licensed insurance broker in all 50 states, Insurify lets you compare personalized rate quotes for home, car, renters, and pet insurance from more than 120 top insurers. When you’re ready to buy, you can take advantage of discounts and purchase right on the Insurify website — or, if you prefer, from a live agent.
The company grew from founder and CEO Snejina Zacharia’s desire to create an efficient, user-friendly experience for consumers looking to save money on insurance. Since then, Insurify has helped 10.4 million people across the U.S. purchase billions of dollars worth of coverage, according to the company’s website.
You can access the platform from your computer or download its mobile app to your Android or iOS device. Just answer some simple questions, and, within five minutes, you’ll get multiple quotes from top car insurance companies that want your business.
While Insurify shares your personal information and data with its marketing partners, it won’t sell your information to third parties.
Insurify is accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with an A+ rating. Customers on sites like Shopper Approved, Trustpilot, and Facebook give Insurify an average rating of 4.8 out of 5.
Partners with many top national and regional insurers

Requires phone number and email address for quotes
Insurify makes it easy to compare car insurance quotes from different companies. Here’s how you do it.
Using the company’s website, navigate to Insurify.com and select “Auto” from the insurance choices near the top of the screen. Then select the “Compare” button or enter your ZIP code and select “View my quotes” to get started.
)
From here, you’ll enter Insurify’s auto insurance quote questionnaire. Throughout the process, each question gets its own screen, which makes the process simple and easy to navigate.
The first several screens ask about your current insurance, when you plan to buy a new policy, if you own or rent your home, and the number of vehicles you want to insure. Then, the questionnaire moves on to questions about your car. Enter your car’s year, make, and model, in addition to its trim and how long you’ve owned it.
Next, you’ll answer questions about how you use your car. In this example, we selected “Commuting or personal use.”
)
The next few screens ask how many miles you drive each day and whether you own your car outright, make payments on it, or lease it.
Once you’ve entered all your vehicle information, it’s time to select the types of coverage you want your quotes to include: full coverage or basic liability. Full coverage includes collision and comprehensive coverages that protect your vehicle in addition to basic liability coverage.
This page has a link you can select to learn about the different coverages, which is helpful, especially for first-time insurance shoppers.
)
Next, you’ll see a screen that asks for your date of birth. Since age is a rating factor in car insurance, Insurify says your birth date will help serve up more accurate quotes.
)
Once you provide your birth date, the site also asks about gender — which is another important factor in car insurance rates — whether you have a U.S. driver’s license, and how old you were when you first got it. You’ll also see prompts to gather more personal information, like your level of education and whether you’re employed or a student.
In addition to basic information about you, you’ll have to provide details about your current insurance, driving record, and credit history. Each question is presented in a user-friendly and self-explanatory way, so the process is simple and moves quickly.
Once you’ve provided all the required information, you’ll need to provide your name.
)
The site also asks if you need to add another driver and the address where you park your car overnight. Finally, you’ll need to share your email address and phone number.
Our test quote received six immediate quotes plus two offers that directed us to different comparison websites. But the number of quotes and the prices you see will largely depend on your unique driver profile, including where you live, your insurance history, your driving record, and more.
)
Insurify’s online reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Many of the reviews appear on Trustpilot, where the company has a 4.7-star rating (out of 5 stars) and nearly 12,000 verified user reviews.
Many of the high ratings boil down to how the platform makes it fast and easy to compare car insurance quotes. “It was fast, fair and awesome service!” one user wrote.
Users also give high praise to the company’s in-house insurance agents. One customer called out a specific agent for praise, saying he “helped me see through the fog.”
)
)
On the Better Business Bureau website, Insurify has 113 customer reviews and 4 out of 5 stars.
)
Of course, no company gets it right 100% of the time, and these review sites still have some negative comments. Most are from customers who received fewer than expected.
Insurify and Compare.com are similar sites that provide the ability to compare auto insurance quotes from top insurers.
At first glance, Compare.com’s platform appears nearly identical to Insurify’s, but, after the first couple of screens, Compare.com’s questionnaire becomes much more detailed. That could be a good thing if an extra moment or two on the platform saves users from having to provide additional information to several companies individually.
In a comparison using the same driver and auto information, Compare.com produced more quotes than Insurify.
Here’s how the two sites stack up:
Feature | Insurify | Compare.com |
|---|---|---|
| Shopper Approved ratings | 4.8 out of 5 | 4.7 out of 5 |
| Trustpilot ratings | 4.7 out of 5 | 4.6 out of 5 |
| BBB rating | A+ | A+ |
| Number of real-time quotes | 6 | 6 |
| Cheapest quote | $310 | $366 |
NerdWallet is a comprehensive financial platform that offers several products and services, including a range of insurance products. Its platform does essentially the same thing as Insurify’s but with a softer sell. On the main auto insurance rates page, for example, you’ll find information about rates as well as insurance company reviews, but you’ll have to click through to that content to find a link to request rate quotes.
If you want car insurance quotes through NerdWallet, expect a more time-consuming and frustrating process. After all, NerdWallet partners with an outside agency to produce quotes, and the results you receive are just ads, not actual quotes.
The sheer volume of information makes NerdWallet a great place to learn about insurance and any other product you might be interested in. But Insurify provides a better experience for anyone who wants to get on the platform, get real quotes, and be done.
The Zebra is an insurance-only comparison site like Insurify, and its auto insurance platform is relatively similar from a user’s standpoint. Just answer a series of questions, and, in about five minutes, you’ll have personalized rate quotes from several insurance companies.
The Zebra, like Insurify, has more than 100 insurance companies on its platform. And, like Insurify, The Zebra gives you access to live insurance agents.
Still, The Zebra tends to produce fewer quotes for most users, and many of its results are ads for other companies.
Insurify isn’t technically a spammy site because it doesn’t sell your information without your consent. Instead, it requires you to give permission for it to share your information with its marketing partners before it shows you quotes.
As a result, you could receive unwanted calls and/or texts, just like you might after using a platform that sells your information. But these calls tend to only be from quotes you interact with on the results page.
Insurance plays a major role in protecting your finances, so it’s a good idea to gather as much information as you can before you buy a policy. We’ve answered some of the most commonly asked questions about Insurify below.
Yes. The Insurify platform is very easy to use. It walks you through an interview-style series of questions to gather information and then displays your customized quotes in one place. The whole process only takes about five minutes, and you can contact a live agent at any point during the process.
Yes. Insurify is a legitimate site. It has a BBB accreditation and an A+ rating. Its average customer rating is an impressive 4.8 out of 5 across multiple platforms.
Since its founding, Insurify has sold more than $200 billion in insurance coverage and provided over 130 million quotes, according to its website. While its information-sharing policies might be a sticking point for some, the company is transparent in disclosing how your information is used.
No. You’ll never pay a fee to use Insurify. The company makes money through commissions when you purchase insurance using its website.
You request quotes free of charge and pay only if you decide to purchase a policy. And then you only pay for your actual insurance premiums.
Insurify doesn’t pull your credit score or even look at your credit history when you compare quotes. Its insurance company partners will consider your credit history when underwriting your policy. Insurers use personal credit information to generate a credit-based insurance score that they use to estimate your accident risks. But they never look at your credit score.
Yes, you can use Insurify to compare home insurance quotes from multiple top companies. You can also use it to compare home and auto insurance bundles, renters insurance, and pet insurance.
Insurify is currently privately owned. Snejina Zacharia is the company’s co-founder and CEO. She started the company after a frustrating experience with her own search for a reasonably priced policy following a rate increase due to a car accident.
