Site FAQ

Answers to the questions we get most often.

What is CarRateHub?

CarRateHub is an independent educational website that publishes plain-English guides on auto, home, and life insurance. We help US consumers understand how insurance works so they can shop for coverage without getting talked into extras they do not need.

Do you sell insurance?

No. CarRateHub is not an insurance agency, broker, or carrier. We do not sell policies, quote rates, or bind coverage. We publish editorial content. For a specific quote or policy, you will need to contact a licensed agent or insurance company directly.

How do you make money?

We earn revenue from advertising and affiliate partnerships with insurance carriers and quote comparison sites. When you follow a link on our site to a partner and complete a qualifying action, we may receive a commission. That commission does not change what you pay and does not influence our editorial coverage.

How current is the information?

We review and update articles periodically. Insurance rates, discounts, and state laws change often, so before making decisions confirm specifics with an insurer or licensed agent in your state.

Can I trust the numbers you cite?

We cite ranges and typical values rather than exact rates for a specific insurer because rates change constantly and vary by driver, home, or applicant. If you spot something that looks wrong, email [email protected] and we will investigate.

How can I reach a real person?

The best way is the contact page. We respond to editorial questions within three business days.
