Since you probably don't want to spend days or weeks online or on the phone getting quotes it is best to narrow your selection down to about 10 companies and go from there. Remember, the reputation of the company is as important as the rate you receive - you want an company that will be there for you, not just one that collects the premiums and then disappears into the night when you need to file a claim.

Once you find an insurer with a good rate you might want to do a little background research on them online by seeing what others are saying. How is their customer service? What about claims handling? Do they offer low rates at first and then raise them significantly when it comes time for renewal?

Being a smart consumer means you will be able to find the best deal to meet your needs while making sure you have a reputable company to stand behind you if you are ever involved in an accident.
