You may not know this, but the credit score does influence your online insurance quotes you may get. It is not an easy escape if your three digit credit score is too high, because the future insurer companies will look at your credit score before giving you a quote.
The thing is very simple. The higher the credit score you have the higher the premiums you will receive. There is no escape from this circle other than reducing your credit score. There are few ways for you to do this.
First, you need to pay off your credit debts. After that you should keep just with the lowest interest and the rest you can throw it out. Also, if the debt is high you can try to transfer it to the credit card with the lowest interest rate. You may need to pay a fee, but is well worth it. If you are in such a mess don’t hesitate to seek professional advice.
Also another mistake people make is to apply for many credit cards. This may looks like desperation and you don’t want that. The easiest way for someone to get into debt is impulse buying. If you want cheaper auto insurance rates and not only, than you need to refrain from spending for unnecessary thing. The easiest way to do this is if you see something which you want to buy is to wait a few days and see if you still want it to purchase. For me this is a good method to help me spend only for things that I really want and not clutter the house with things I don’t need or like.
As you can see the credit score has a big impact on your online insurance quotes free you receive. If it is too high you maybe categorize as a high risk driver to insure even if you have a clean driving history.

There are many places to get an on-line quote. Here is another: http://www.yourhealthplanadvisor.com/ooshealth.html and I'm sure if you do an internet search you'll find many more.
You can get an idea of costs on-line, but there are hundreds of plans available and how do you know if you've choosen the best one for your situation? It'll take you several days to intelligently compare all the plans available. Also, if you have any pre-existing conditions that might add a rider to the policy, cause you to be declined, or if you are out of the height and weight guidelines you won't know until you've applied and gone through the underwriting process which is a big waste of time. You should contact a local independent agent who can work with you to find the best policy and will weed out the plans that won't accept you because of any health condition or will not cover you to your expectations. The plans and premiums are no different using an agent.

There is no best place.
Insurance companies target market certain groups of people and give them their best rates. Groupings are based on prior insurance coverage, age, gender, credit rating, driving record, marriage status and even occupation. Your best source would be your local independent insurance agent. He/she knows who writes which group at what price.
Also, your agent can advise you on how to obtain the best quotes not just now, but also in six months. You may need some grooming.

You probably can't. The rating models are too complex.
Call your parent's agent, and ask them to work up numbers for you.
Or post the following answers for each question, and I'll ballpark it.
What city/state? What type of business?
Bonding: why do you need bonding? what type of bond? some examples are: fidelity, licensing, performance, payment, erisa. Each of them have their own rating questions. Bonds can range in cost from $250 to 20% of the job cost, so it's a huge range.
Auto: what type of cars, how old are the cars, how old (on average) are the drivers, and what are the cars used for, where do they go, and how many of each type?
Building – how big is the building (in square feet), what's it made of, how old is it, how recently updated is the plumbing, heating, electric? Do you own it or rent?
Liability – what type of business? What are the gross sales? What type of product? How much do you pay the employees? How many employees are there?
Workers Comp: What do the employees do, and how much do you pay each category of employee? This is actually the easiest to "guestimate" – as the rating is strictly based on payroll.

Let me start with the more information you give an insurance company the more accurate the quote will be for you. If you give them have the info your price will like change. Many companies will sell you a price a not coverage. I would recommend talking with a broker they will quote you with many companies and find out which one is best for you. Good Luck.

Nope, quotes are all free.
However, they're going to sell your information and telephone number to about five hundred different agents, so expect your phone to start ringing . . . and not stop for at least a month.

Hello Beth,
No, it's not particularly common that your identity is stolen by requesting on auto insurance quote online but the risk that it could happen, and the subsequent consequences, are enormous, so, why take the chance. What is very common, and very annoying, after completing an online insurance form are numerous unwanted solicitations.
In order to receive an accurate auto insurance quote personal information including your social security number is required. A much safer alternative is to contact a local insurance agent, in person or on the phone, and provide them with the information necessary for an accurate quote. Be sure and ask a few questions of your own first before providing personal information. How long have you been in business and how will you safeguard my personal information are totally appropriate questions.

yes, there is no problem in submitting personal info since the so called personal info is just basic info that is used to get a generic insurance quote.
that cannot be used for identity stealing.
