EverQuote

If I could give negative starts or thumbs down I would! Read something on a news website so I decided to try it thinking "cool maybe since it was on the news it could work" and there is a we don't scam type of flag. This is the biggest SCAM! Before the page was even done loading I was being called for crap and was called 15 times in the first 20 minutes of clicking "get my quotes". DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE!

I'd ask for an auto insurance quote and got immediate quotes from multiple agents. However, it's been a year now and I'm still getting quotes. There's no link in their FAQ to unsubscribe. By trial and error, I tried this... https://www.everquote.com/contact
I hope this works.

I've over 20 years experience in Life Insurance, and have worked legitimate lead programs before. I went with Everquote because of their endorsement from First Family Life. Wow! 45 "leads" that I was told were real time and had a high ratio of appointments set. Well 45 "leads" and I had ONE conversation with a prospective client. Any legitimate lead system you would have 15 or so appointments out of 45 on the low end. Given the high number of non-valid ph. No. S and addresses and literary no one answering their phone or text even after many attempts, leads me to believe they're just recycling old information and selling it as new for the most part. Exclusive, new, don't believe it.

I am pretty upset about this company.

I was looking for car insurance quotes online for temporary car insurance. I filled out their form with my personal details. EverQuote then linked me to three to four other websites which then asked me for more of my personal details. I didn't get a quote appearing on a webpage that i wanted.

Instead, within 1 day, i had 10-15 texts, 5-10 spam calls and 10-15 emails asking me to text them back for quotes. Now some of them did offer insurance quotes along with their texts. But they came from MANY MANY insurance companies, so that if i told them i wanted to stop, another insurance company would just bother me. I want this to stop. And they do not make this stopping process easy.

I had to google this data privacy form in order to stop the calls.

I had to fill out this form several times with the same information in order to get through. In the meantime, I had to endure another day or so of spam calls, texts and emails from insurance agents. Which I don't want.

I also had to put my phone number on the do not call registry

Again, it takes awhile to go into effect.

I don't know if this way of doing business it's legal. But even if this is, it doesn't seem very ethical or customer friendly to me. Left a bad first impression. I don't want to see them again. Hope they change their ways.

EverQuote have ads that if you are doing a google search for another site - nothing to do w insurance - AN EVERQUOTE AD POPS UP AND TOTALLY BLOCKS THE SITE YOU WERE Actually trying to access. DO NOT USE A SCAMMY COMPANY!

This company steals your identity and then sells it as "leads" to other companies. I never applied, contacted, completed an application for Everquote. One of the insurance companies kindly provided me with the information Everquote stole from me.
Once everquote steals your personal information and sells it, you are flooded with emails and telephone calls. Report them to your Attorney General and BBB. EverQuote need to be stopped

Scam. Your phone blows up will sales people. EverQuote do not even forward your information to the companies.

This place says you will get a quote from them, but that is not true. You never get a quote from them. EverQuote will refer you to someone, anyone, who pays them and will give them your information. They sell your information is the point and do not disclose that.

No credit for disconnected numbers.
People sat EverQuote weren't looking for whatever it is they give you the lead for.
They resell same name over and over.

I've been an agent subscribing to Everquote for the last 9 months or so. Services were ok at best. I get an email notice today letting me know that the price is going up. Unavoidable, I guess but when you read further, EverQuote very nonchalantly mention that they will now be sharing each lead with 3 other agents. In other words, my $50 "exclusive" leads will be no longer be exclusive and the price is going up to $55. Classic bait and switch. Why I am surprised? These lead services are all the same. Stay away from Everquote.
