Our Service

IllinoisInsurance.com provides you the opportunity to receive insurance quotes from our network of insurance agents, brokers, carriers, and other insurance service providers. Once you provide us with the information required on our quest request form, we attempt to match you with appropriate insurance agents, brokers, carriers or other service providers to help you acquire the type of insurance you are seeking. We are not an insurance agent or insurance carrier, and hence, we do not issue insurance contracts or bind coverage ourselves, nor do we endorse or recommend any companies or specific types of insurance policies. While we publish content on the Site about insurance, we do not provide insurance, tax or financial advice of any kind. We do not guarantee that any of the insurance agents, brokers and/or companies to whom we forward your application will contact you or agree to provide you coverage. We are not responsible in any way for the conduct of the insurance agents, brokers, discount program representatives and companies that are matched with your insurance application. The coverage provided by any service provider will be subject the terms and conditions of the insurance policy under which it issued, and we have no control over such terms and conditions.
