INTRODUCTION
Did you ever wonder: why when you ask your car insurance agent for a few quotes to compare, he normally takes some time to revert?
On the other hand, if you tell your travel agent you need to be in London on 1 Sep 2007, that agent can almost immediately read off his computer screen the airfares offered by different airlines.

Car insurance agents hence have to key in the details (your car make, model, your age, etc) into different quotation systems to get quotations from various insurance companies!
As a result, although consumers want more comparison, agents loathe having to get multiple quotes. So consumers have to get quotes from a few agents.… something not very efficient.
