Free Auto Insurance Quote Websites on the Rise as Survey Shows Consumer Insurance Knowledge Lacking

Lexington, KY (PRWEB) March 30, 2009 -- The average U.S. citizen will fail a simple 10 question quiz on insurance, according to a recent survey carried out by the NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners). In contrast, when asked, the average American considers him or herself very knowledgeable about auto insurance (http://savetodayautoinsurance.com/save). This recent revelation is expected to cause a sharp rise in the use of free auto insurance quote websites as car owners and drivers realize they need more help than originally thought.

The survey found that less than two-thirds of Americans (62 percent) are aware of the top three factors that impact the cost of auto insurance coverage (i.e., accident history, vehicle safety features, geography). And, only four in 10 respondents (41 percent) know that auto insurance does not automatically cover a rental car.
