We will ask for a Social Security number when we provide a quote so that we can give the most accurate rate possible,..

I cannot for the life of me figure out what in the hell a SSN has to do with getting a accurate rate quote.

I think the insurance company uses the SS # to run a credit check on prospective customers. The better your credit rating, the lower your rate will be.

That seems odd, and not needed. You pay your premium, you’re covered. You don’t pay it, they cancel. They can charge you based on driving record, but not on income from what i can see. Summing it up, no wonder we have identify theft. Some low paid loser losing for insurance company customer service desk has all the SSN’s they could ever wish for.
