what the rates are specifically for your needs from hundreds of companies yourself
and then when you are ready to buy, we connect you instantly with your selected

Your Friends at RATEKICK, The Kickers Support Team
Does RATEKICK Guarantee Prices on Policies?
No, we don't. We make every attempt to get accurate price comparisons, however,
insurance premiums are not guaranteed.
This might surprise you, but there is an excellent and logical reason for this.
It's rooted in the fundamental nature of RATEKICK, which is different than most
other insurance web sites. In short, RATEKICK doesn't set prices, or sell any
insurance products nor do we require you to surrender all your personal information
when searching for rates. RATEKICK is a search engine, and, in the same
way that Google doesn't guarantee search results are true or accurate, we don't
guarantee prices on policies we find. Our rates are still subject to the respected
carriers underwriting requirements and only valid after running the necessary consumer
reports such as your Motor vehicle Report (MVR) Claims Loss Underwriting
Exchange Report (C.L.U.E), and in some states verifying your credit score (insurance
score).
Now, it's not in our interest to show premiums that are out-of-date or
in error. If prices we find for you are unreliable, then we're not really saving
you much time. You might as well play Frogger or Angry Birds rather than use RATEKICK,
for all the good we're doing.
So, if you come across a price on RATEKICK and click through to an insurance agent
or provider, and the price is wrong, you're going to be annoyed; maybe even
angry. Sometimes people think we are tricking them. But it's completely against
our interests, your interests, and the interests of insurance providers that RATEKICK
searches, to show you one price, then later when you go to purchase the policy it
ends up being a few hundred dollars more. Why would we do that on purpose? It would
be silly.
At this point, you may be asking yourself, "Gee whiz, why doesn't RATEKICK
just find the correct price and show that? How hard can it be?" Ah, there's
the rub. It turns out it is a pretty tricky problem, in particular with regard to
auto insurance.
We've got this big room full of insurance brainiacs and web software engineers,
who think about this all day long in order for you to get real accurate insurance
rate comparisons while remaining anonymous online. Every day, we take on insurance
carrier, discount by discount for you.
It's not all gloom and doom, though. You can still save scads of time searching
with RATEKICK before you decide what type of insurance to buy , which coverage is
best, and where to buy it from, not to mention money. The alternative, searching
hundreds of insurance sites yourself and calling companies over the phone (ouch!),
isn't much fun.
What should you do? We're a little biased, but we think you should use RATEKICK
to search and compare rates before you buy. If you run across an inaccurate rate,
and want to let us know, please contact us so we can use the information to improve.
Ever faithfully, your insurance buddies,
RATEKICK.com
About the RATEKICK Insurance Analyzer™ Software
Why you can feel comfortable relying on these estimated rate comparisons?
The rates we display for you are based on what your states Office of Insurance &
Financial Services (O.F.I.S) and the Department of Insurance (D.O.I) commissioner’s
office expect each and every insurance carrier doing business in your state should
charge you when buying insurance from that particular carrier. This of course is
based solely on the information you have provided us and insurance may also be available
to you from companies not included in our comparison rates. So if you enter inaccurate
information within the RATEKICK Insurance Analyzer™ then your rates could change
when purchasing a policy from your chosen provider.
How we can do this, what is our secret?
RATEKICK’s fun-loving, too many computer science degrees to count, special rating
team, the Kickers, sole function in life is to research each states-public filed
rating manuals for hundreds of insurance companies, then has the enormous task of
programming those rates after consulting with our insurance industry experts team
into the RATEKICK Insurance Analyzer™ comparison rating engine.
The Kickers even check weekly with each state’s Insurance Commissioners Department
to see if any carriers have changed their rates and filed for new premium pricing.
If rates have changed, we update that data with the new rates, and if you have signed
up for our exclusive free service, the RATEGRABBER™ Price Drop Elerts, we
will instantly notify you that a better deal may exist than what you are currently
paying.
Our proprietary technology is NOT available anywhere else.
TECHNOLOGY
We are an internet software company dedicated to making the process of comparison
shopping and purchasing insurance online easier and headache free. Yes, that’s right,
headache free, if you like filling out countless forms on multiple websites giving
up all your personal information including your favorite Michael Jackson song (our
fav is Billy Jean) and enjoy the feeling of getting blasted with phone calls from
insurance salespeople just to get rate information then the RATEKICK user experience
is not for you.
However, if you want an interactive, totally anonymous way to comparison shop for
your insurance without having to deal with salespeople or spending your Friday nights
on the phone for hours with multiple companies, then you will find RATEKICK a refreshing
experience.
Founded by a couple insurance industry veterans, these guys know their stuff, and
a team of technology brainiacs, ok let’s just call them software junkies …ok nerds.
Our unique proprietary rating engine allows account holders to shop anonymously
online by accessing RATEKICK’S comparison insurance rating engine by utilizing only
7 consumer data fields (no personal info required). We use a unique rule based formula
that computes comparison rates for the consumer and allows them to drill down specific
filters like coverage’s and eligible discounts to help them cut thru the insurance
companies marketing clutter to help them make a buying decision. This is all done
by programming information available to the general public and presenting it based
on our specific business rules/logic to each rating category in order to produce
accurate real-time rates from 100+ carriers.
RATEKICK real-time insurance rate searches include prices, coverage’s, and other
information for hundreds of insurance providers, more than 100 national, regional,
and state only providers are displayed. You get real rates not just from the big
boys, but from the lesser known brands who may offer better prices for the same
coverage. We put the power of the insurance shopping experience in your hands, and
when your ready to buy, we connect you with the local agent or carrier of your choice.

1. Collecting Information
Personally Identifiable Information
The Site may request and collect certain personally identifiable information including,
but not limited to, Application Data and other personal information contained in
User Submissions, through various means such as online forms, online applications,
e-mail and comments submitted to the Site. Such information collected through the

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information via the Site,
such as Site usage activity and preferences, also known as demographic or profile
data.
Why must you give so much personal information?
In order to provide the most accurate rate possible with NO surprises, we hate that
too, Insurance companies establish their rates using a variety of criteria. Since
we deal with hundreds of companies, we must ask you questions required by all of
them to determine the most competitive match for you. Besides, you would never go
to the doctor and when he asks “how ya feeling today or what hurts today ” respond
with “Gee, Doc, why do you need to know that information!” Its simple , to recommend
the best possible coverage for you, insurance carriers need to know some basic info
on you or else they will prescribe the wrong medicine or treatment(ouch).
NOTICE OF CONSUMER REPORT PRACTICES
In some cases, insurance companies may need to obtain additional background information
about you. As an example Consumer reports may be ordered in connection with your
insurance application. These reports provide information that may assist in determining
your eligibility for insurance and the price you may be charged. Consumer reports
may also be used for updates, renewals or extensions of this insurance. The insurance
company may also obtain and use a credit-based insurance score based on information
contained in your credit report. The insurance company may use a third party in
