Free Web Probulation
Free as in no charge. Or no upfront charge. There will be a price though.

I several time got caught thinking it would be dandy and convenient, as a crafty consumer, to get some insurance quote over that new thing, you know, the internet they are talking about.

Everybody does it. It's even easier than non-prescription all herbal Valium or those things I get advertized in my inbox.

Unfortunately, this process, as much as they claim is protecting my privacy, stops short of asking from a stool sample for just getting a quote. Yes, I'm going to disclose my last 5 years of addresses, current income, marital status, work address, SSN, let them probe my background history and more. Then you get a quote. And that is free. The only cost is that you gave up the accurate description of the marketing profiler's wet dream.

I'll pass. It's not worth it.
 
This is where the description should be. However, being lazy, I chose to type this text instead of a description.
