Group auto insurance quotes now available online through Kanetix.ca

TORONTO , Jan. 20 /CNW/ - Today, Kanetix(R) (www.kanetix.ca), Canada's online marketplace for insurance quotes and mortgage rates, announced that online quotes for group auto insurance are available to drivers in both Ontario and Quebec .

Initially launched in Ontario, drivers eligible for the preferred rates offered could save anywhere from 10 to 20 per cent.

"In their search for competitively priced auto insurance coverage, Canadians are looking at all of their options when shopping around," explains George Small , Co-founder of Kanetix Ltd. "For those who belong to a professional association, or work for a company that participates in a group insurance program, this means getting quotes through their group insurer. We're really pleased about offering this high-impact discount to eligible consumers. Drivers, whose group insurer participates in our service, can get the quotes they want, both from their group insurer and from all the other companies available through Kanetix.ca."

Now available in Quebec as well, Kanetix expects to expand the availability of online group insurance quotes into even more provinces, with more insurance products and more group insurance providers participating.

As an online auto insurance shopping service that provides real-time quotes from Canada's top insurers, Kanetix is in a position to bring attention to the options available to Canadian drivers when it comes to insurance. Insurance rates change often and vary between insurers, so comparing car insurance quotes is an easy way to see if there are opportunities for savings.
