There was a time when you had no choice but to visit or contact via phone or the mail, a series of different insurance companies in order to get a California health insurance quote that you could use to compare rates. This meant that the average person might contact one or two agents and settle for whichever of them offered the lowest rates.
Today there are far too many companies to do this in a reasonable amount of time and the insurance policies are far too complex to consider getting your California health insurance quote in this manner. You will find that going online and using an insurance comparison site like Benefit Packages to help you determine what coverages you need and then to get quotes from a large selection of the top insurance companies in the state after filling out a single online application form.
