What Quotacy Offers

Since they offer quotes from many insurance companies, you'll find the largest selection of terms and rates available.

Quotacy's partners offer:

• Terms from 10 to 40 years
  
• Insurance amounts from $50,000 to $65 million
  
• Coverage for ages 18 to 80 years old
  
• A variety of riders including child, premium waiver for disability, accelerated death, accidental death, and term conversion

You can choose an initial term and coverage amount when completing Quotacy's short questionnaire. But feel free to customize and change your options later.

Downsides

Can't Apply Online for Whole Life or Disability Insurance
If you want something more complex than term life insurance, you'll have to call Quotacy. The process won't be as streamlined and you'll get fewer quotes.

Quotes Only from Select Insurance Companies
They provide quotes from up to 15 of the most financially stable insurance companies today. But you may still miss a few. If you want to get quotes from companies not provided by Quotacy, you'll have to go directly through that company or another broker.
