The North Carolina Insurance Commissioner is opposing new legislation that he says would scuttle the state's current auto car insurance rate system.
He said that the bills would strip him of his authority to review and cap auto rate hikes, ultimately hurting North Carolina residents who would end up paying higher auto insurance premiums. The proposals have been pushed by out-of-state companies who are looking to make more money off of North Carolina drivers. They would likely charge higher rates to even those drivers with a perfect record. There are three separate but related bills, two in the House and one in the Senate, that are currently under review by the Legislative Committee on Insurance. They would give insurance companies legal authority to charge higher rates regardless of customer driving records.

Online auto insurance quotes are the preferred way for most consumers to get quotes today, according to recent studies. Only 3 out of 10 consumers said they preferred to speak with an agent directly over the phone when obtaining insurance quotes.
This is probably due to the convenience of online quoting systems which are accessible 24 hours a day, and allow users to compare multiple quotes from different agencies with a few mouse clicks. This saves time and money for consumers, because it forces insurance companies to me more competitive with one another to offer the best rate quotes. It's estimated that in 2010 over 37 million auto insurance quotes were processed online, and about 10% of those quotes resulted in the consumer purchasing one of the quoted policies online.
