Question

I used The Zebra - but was I given no insurance quotes, why?

I used The Zebra to search to see if I could get a better rate on my car insurance. However, after entering all my info, it didn't give me any quotes at all. What gives?

I'm sorry you had a frustrating experience. Our goal at The Zebra is to simplify insurance and provide everyone a range of affordable quotes. Unfortunately, sometimes we're unable to for a variety of reasons:

1) Where you live can have a big impact on the types of quotes you are offered. Certain states and geographies are harder to insure than others because of extreme weather concerns and government regulations.

2) It also could be something in your driver profile that is setting off alarms for insurers such as a particularly risky vehicle (some insurers have dropped Kia's due to theft issues for example), past violations or claims or your credit score among other factors.

3) It's possibly a combination of the above. We might not have a carrier in your state that fits the criteria you need and is willing to offer you insurance.

If you don't see any quotes after using The Zebra, don't give up. Try calling our agents so they can help explain what the reason might be and see if they can troubleshoot to find you a good rate. Good luck!
