Online Quoting FAQs


General Information

Why do you need my personal information?

We only collect information that is needed to provide an accurate quote.  Our Privacy Policy can provide you with more detailed information.

Do I need information from my other policies to get a quote?

No, you do not need any information from your other policies to get a quote, but it may be helpful.  

I am a current auto policy holder, why can’t I get another quote online?

As an existing customer, you already have a policy so you can speak with an agent about any questions you may have. Find your agent.

Will my credit history be checked?

Credit history is one factor in the third-party insurance score report below. The credit check will show as an “insurance inquiry” on your credit history but does not affect your credit score calculations. 

What third-party reports are being used?

The following reports are received from third parties based on the information you provide. These reports help you get the most accurate quote.

  • Motor Vehicle Report (MVR)
  • Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE)
    Prior carrier pre-fill
  • Insurance score
  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verification
  • Vehicle history report
  • Vehicle history scores

Does my policy have to start the day I purchase it?

If you choose to purchase your policy online, you can select a policy start date up to 60 days in the future.

How will you use my driver’s license number?

Your driver’s license number is used to order a Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) and Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE) report. These reports help determine your rate and may be updated due to changes in driving history.

Why do you ask for my social security number?

Like most insurance companies, we require your social security number to purchase a policy online because it helps ensure we have accurate information to request various reports used in the process to help you get the most accurate rate possible. Our Privacy Policy can provide you with more detailed information.

Discounts

What kind of discounts do you offer?

We offer several auto insurance discounts, and many are automatically applied to your quote based on the information you provide. You can see details about the discounts you qualify for when you finish your quote.

What is a Relationship Discount?

We value our relationship with you and want to reward that with a discount. The more insurance policies you have with us, the greater the relationship discount you may receive. When you have more than one Alfa® policy, such as an auto policy, a homeowners policy, a watercraft policy, an umbrella policy, and/or a life insurance policy, you qualify for the relationship discount. Your discounts will be validated prior to policy renewal and ineligible discounts will be removed and may affect your premium.

What is an occupational or affinity discount?

Some occupations and affiliations you’re associated with may qualify you for our affinity discount. Alabama and Mississippi policyholders who work as educators, military and first responders, state and federal employees, ministers and farmers may receive an occupational. Alabama policyholders who are employed by an auto manufacturer may qualify for an affinity discount.

How do I qualify for the youth honor student discount?

Unmarried drivers, aged 16 to 24, who are a full-time student (enrolled in 12 hours or more of classes) with a 3.0 GPA or higher may qualify for this discount. Scholastic records must be provided to validate this discount.

What is a defensive driver discount?

You may qualify for a defensive driver discount if you’ve taken a defensive driving course or a qualified Motor Vehicle Accident Prevention Course and have had a clean driving record for three years. Alabama and Mississippi policyholders must be 55 or older to participate. While Georgia doesn’t have an age limit, you may not receive this discount in conjunction with the driver training discount. You will need to re-qualify for this discount every three years.

What are the available discounts for driver training?

Drivers aged 16 to 20 years old may receive a discount after successfully completing an acceptable driver education course. The driver training discount may not be given in addition to the Youth Defensive Driving Discount. Other exclusions may apply.
