Does anybody have any great ideas for me about shopping for cheap car insurance? I am a receptionist at a real estate company, and my hours have been cut back because of the slow market. I’m afraid I’m starting to fall behind on some of my bills and I really need to find a way to cut some of my expenses. Since car insurance is one of my biggest monthly bills, I thought that would be a good place to try and save. But I need to know where to start shopping. Do you recommend sticking with a local agent or shopping around online for cheaper car insurance quotes?
