About Our Quotes

ReliaQuote, Inc. operates a free term life price comparison service (the "Quote Service"). Using the information you provide, the Quote Service compares the rates from over 30 U.S. life insurance companies who offer some of the most competitive rates. The Quote Service produces an individualized price comparison report that summarizes: (1) the names of the insurers offering the lowest prices, (2) the rate class for which you may qualify based on the information you have entered, (3) the modal premium, (4) the length of any level premium rate guarantee, and (5) the financial strength ratings of the insurers as rated by A.M. Best.

The actual price of any policy you may be offered at the conclusion of your application and underwriting process may be higher or lower than the price quoted by the Quote Service. This variance may be due to additional information that the insurer discovers in the course of underwriting your application, a change in your age, or a change in the insurer's rates. If you are offered a policy with a higher rate than you expected, we will "shop your coverage" to other life insurers (with your permission) to see if another carrier will provide a better offer. (See "What if I receive a higher rate than I applied for on my life insurance policy?")

We continually monitor the market for term life insurance in the United States to ensure that the Quote Service is comparing rates from those carriers who generally offer the lowest prices. However, there are over 1000 companies licensed to sell life insurance in one or more U.S. jurisdictions. Since the Quote Service only includes the rates from 30-35 life insurers who we believe offer the best combination of competitive rates, financial strength and customer service, the Quote Service does not compare the prices from every life insurer licensed in your jurisdiction. In addition, although we believe that the life insurers included in the Quote Service generally offer the lowest prices for most rate classes, we maintain customer service standards pursuant to which we occasionally exclude otherwise highly-rated insurers who offer competitive rates from the Quote Service because they have failed to maintain certain basic standards for servicing our customers. Finally, although we believe that the quotes provided by the Quote Service are accurate, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of every quote due to the possibility of human or computer error.

ReliaQuote does not guarantee that you will be offered a life insurance policy at the conclusion of your application process. ReliaQuote is not an insurance company but rather acts as an agency for over 30 insurance companies. Will Jerro, ReliaQuote's President is the agent of record for all applications submitted through the ReliaQuote service. ReliaQuote does not endorse any specific insurer.
