It has been made a practice to provide the personal information to get familiar with an auto insurance quote online. In order to verify the identity of the applicant at the time of buying the policy personal data like social security number or the driver license number is required.

And the same is required so as to use the information and compare it with the national databases. Though peoples become a bit hesitant in providing the personal information online rather they become comfortable when they give it to some agent sitting at the insurer's office.
