31 January 2000
DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 31 -- You've got your eye on a shiny new car and are just serious enough to be wondering about insurance rates. What is the premium likely to be? How quickly can you find out before the phone or doorbell rings? Before dinner is ready? Before halftime is over? Can you spare five minutes? Consumers can get an auto insurance quote online from Auto Club Insurance Association (ACIA) in about five minutes, using AAA Michigan's new "real-time" insurance quote feature at http://www.aaamich.com . And there is no need to fill in endless forms, unlike other rate-quote sites online. Simply by answering a short series of questions on the Internet, the customer is provided with a detailed quote. If the quote is acceptable, the buying process can be initiated online. Start-up requirements and additional information are provided by e-mail or phone, based on personal preference. The system provides instant quotes for almost all cars, pickup trucks, vans and SUVs. In a few situations, AAA may not be able to provide an online quote, but we will provide a quote by e-mail, usually within one business day. This new service makes it easier than ever before to take advantage of the many valuable services provided by AAA Michigan. "We know our members' time is valuable," says Terry Shea, President and COO of Auto Club Insurance Association (ACIA). "It is important for them to get the information they need, when and how they need it. For this reason, we provide a wide variety of high-quality distribution channels. Making it easy for our members to deal with us is our number one priority. Our 500 agents, our 1,000 claims employees, our call centers and our Internet site reflect AAA's commitment to giving the very best service available anywhere!"
