How do I compare life insurance quotes from different companies?

Answered by 4 licensed agents

You can go online and get a quotes with a google search. However when you get the quote majority of the time you are given a quote with the best rating possible making the premium look great. But most people would not qualify for that. Best option seek out a local independent life insurance advisor with at least 5 years experience to help you.

One way is to research individual carriers and the policies (and features of those policies) and get quotes from the products that make sense for you. Another way, which for many ends up being more time-effective and normally produces a more personalized policy, is to work with an independent agent who can use their tools to pinpoint the carrier that best suits you and what you're looking for.

When comparing life insurance quotes, look at:

Same policy type and term length — comparing a 20-year term to a 10-year term, or term to whole life, isn’t apples-to-apples.

Coverage amount (face value) — make sure every quote is for the same death benefit.

Premium structure — level premiums (fixed for the term) vs. ones that increase over time.

This can be difficult, so you need to be very specific on the type of product, such as whole life, universal and term with the exact specifications (face amount for each) across all different products while omparing different insurance companies to do the exact same comparative quote.
