The fact that a person can get a term life insurance quote online in less time than it used to take to get an insurance broker on the phone is a testament to the way the internet has affected our everyday lives. Hundreds of companies provide insurance coverage for Americans. Each of the insurance providers offers various categories of coverage, such as health insurance, homeowners insurance, travel insurance, business insurance and life insurance. In the last decade it became possible for independent companies to access the pricing information of the vast majority of providers for most types of insurance.

Many independent companies combine powerful quoting software with the speed of the internet to gather and compare term life insurance rates of the many insurance companies. The results indicating the lowest rates are then given to the individual who requested the quote. The independent company is not under obligation to any of the providers and is free to inform the requester of the best rate amongst all providers.

The quoting process is similar no matter which web site you choose. A quote form either appears on the home page of the site or can be found easily somewhere on the home page. A minimum of personal information is required to fill in the form. The information required is typically age, sex, state of residence, term of coverage requested, dollar amount of coverage requested, whether or not the applicant is a smoker, and whether premiums will be paid monthly or yearly. Typing all of the information into the form, submitting it, comparing rates of all of the providers and receiving the lowest rate quote can be done in less than a minutes time.

So one of the many positive effects of today's internet is that, yes, it is possible to get a term life insurance quote online in under a minute.
