Yes, Auto Insurance Quotes Have a Monthly Cycle
There are so many jokes floating around out there about monthly cycles it's not even funny.
We're not going to go there.
What we are going to do is talk about the monthly cycle of auto insurance quotes and when you should get up and go shopping for better quotes on your...
okay, you can stop laughing now.
Really.
No one wanted to hear that.
Anyway...
The Ebb and Flow of Auto Insurance Quotes When do you think most people go shopping for auto insurance quotes? We tend to have a "beginning of the month/end of the month" mentality when we're talking about monthly cycles.
Just ask the guy planning on breaking the speed limit at the end of the month! With our minds full of quotas and annual cycles and the fact that many of us have a special place in our hearts for our desk chair and our bill pay system on the first of the month, it's easy to fall into the trap of assuming that's also when most people are going to go shopping for auto insurance quotes.
Informal studies have shown that that assumption would be wrong.
That's W-R-O-N-G, if you were writing it down.
Yes, your calculus teacher knew what he was talking about when he was telling you what happens when you assume.
So let's set the assumptions aside and get down to the nitty gritty.
The best time to go shopping for auto insurance quotes.
And the Best Time to Go Shopping for Quotes Would Be...
? Have you ever gone shopping for a sled at the end of winter? Thanks to the 4 feet of snow recently dropped in my little neck of the woods I found myself doing exactly that the other day.
The prices were absurd.
Area retailers took note of the fact that people were going to be looking for a second round of toys to have fun in the snow and, since there were a limited number of retailers who still had sleds in stock, the price on those went up.
Supply and demand is a vicious, vicious thing.
That's how auto insurance quotes work.
That informal study I mentioned earlier stated that most people go shopping for quotes in the middle of the month.
Why? No one really knew for sure.
Maybe it's because that's when their bills were paid.
Maybe it was so they could align their first day of coverage with the first day of their personal billing cycle.
Maybe it just happened to be that the middle of the month was when these guys had a little free time.
Regardless, facts are facts.
And facts, in this case, state that the best time to go shopping for auto insurance quotes is when supply vastly exceeds demand.
An old quote states, "Teach a parrot to say the words, 'Supply and Demand' and you've got an economist.
" At the beginning and end of the month supply is high and demand is low, making it the best time to go shopping for auto insurance.
Take a lesson from the parrot.
