Insurance can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. At Glidewell, we guide you through the process, comparing your coverage across multiple carriers so you can make a clear, confident choice. We’ll do the heavy lifting, so you get peace of mind.
Your security starts with understanding your options.
You should buy car insurance before buying a car. Driving without insurance is often illegal and leaves you financially vulnerable in the case of an accident. Whether you are buying a car from a dealership or an individual seller, you can get a car insurance quote and purchase a policy (either online or over the phone) before driving away in your new car.
Yes. The make and model of the car you drive play a factor in your car insurance rates. The cost of your vehicle also makes a big difference; the more it costs to repair or replace your vehicle, the more you will pay to insure it.
Available discounts depend on your insurer. However, common car insurance discounts include various affiliation discounts, reduced rates for students, good driver/no-accident discounts, and hybrid or electric vehicle discounts. One of the most common discounts is a bundling discount for people who have both their home and auto insurance through the same carrier.
Car insurance is great for covering repair costs after an accident, but it won’t cover the costs of general wear and tear. That means when you take your car in to get the oil changed or the tires rotated, you’re footing that bill yourself. There are a number of other things that aren’t covered by car insurance, including personal belongings that are stolen from your car and any damage that exceeds the limits of your coverage.
Personal auto insurance doesn’t cover you while you are using your car for work, so people who drive for rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft should have a rideshare policy or endorsement. Many rideshare companies offer at least some coverage for their drivers, but not all of them offer insurance and some only offer partial coverage, so rideshare drivers should purchase supplemental coverage.
Your personal auto policy likely covers you in a rental car, but you are covered at the same limits as your auto policy. If you carry liability-only insurance, you can either reach out to your insurance agent and have your policy changed to include full coverage while you are renting a car or you can purchase additional insurance from the car rental agency.
"I worked with Seth Blasingim. In one call, he had me set up with new auto and home insurance and saved me about $1000 per year with this. He was great to work with and I highly recommend calling him and Glidewell!"

"Shopping for insurance is a most frustrating experience... but Tanner at Glidewell made it really painless. The more I learn about the company, the more I feel like I can trust them, and that's not something I can say about most companies. Thank you to the good folks at Glidewell for their service!"
