Zebra is one of the best Auto InsurTech companies:
As mentioned in the top quote tools, we have a few favorite tools. The Zebra , an insurance quote comparison tool is one of them. Zebra is one of the best Auto InsurTech companies out there right now.

That was practically it. I was ready to get my insurance.
This was an entirely new experience from my direct quotes from my old insurance company.
Time savings
While I was prepared to get quotes, I was able to compare 12 companies in 2.9 minutes. If I was to compare all these companies myself online or with the help of an agent or broker it would have taken much longer.
The time savings is a huge value add.

And mobile friendly.
Mobile Friendliness
Important to note, I got these quotes using my phone while at airport bar waiting for plane.
It was a great experience, especially if you have a few minutes to spare. For a non-insurance professional, they have details about each company in a drop down talking about features, ratings, and financial strength. Considering I know these insurance companies and their reputations this wasn’t new for me but I can see how a non-insurance professional would get a lot of value from this type of insight.
Thoughts
I immediately imagined being in the car dealership, waiting for my new car or lease, while it was being detailed and pulled up to the front of the dealership, and I got my insurance before they pulled up, no hassle or questions asked.
Or after a tough renewal discussion with an insurance company where they wanted to raise my premiums, utilizing a tool like Zebra to find a new carrier.
These scenarios and uses are endless.
In addition to being backed by Mark Cuban, the Zebra, has my support as The Millennial Shark. I couldn’t be happier with what I experienced.
