Poll Results -Weeks ending 1-22-99

Welcome

The Question: Would you buy auto insurance online if a policy were available to you at a competitive rate?

Yes, I would buy a policy online. 68% (Total: 1955)
No, I would rather speak with a person. 20% (Total: 573)
I don't believe internet transactions are safe
enough.
12% (Total: 355)

The above results depict the importance e-commerce will play in the very near future. Many people have overcome the initial fear of transacting business via credit card over the internet giving rise to increasingly larger average $$ transactions. There is a critical oversight involved with buying auto insurance online without the advice of an agent or company counselor- how much coverage to buy! That will be the focus of this weeks poll.  Since we know from a previous poll (11-9-98), the most important factor to 58% of respondents is price, so I have an idea what the outcome will be. Do yourself a favor, take a few minutes to assess your current policies coverage and ASK SOME QUESTIONS.

Prior Polls:
