Online auto insurance purchases on the increase

According to Insurance.com the number of auto insurances bought in the US over the internet rose by 20%. It is reflecting the growing shift in the direction of people doing their financial transactions on the net.

"During the past five years we have seen a tremendous growth on our site as a result of customers' increased confidence level with the internet," said Insurance.com President Lou Geremia. "We've embraced this new growth by adding over 100 licensed insurance agents to our sales center and have extended our sales center hours to 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern Standard."
