If I apply for a ton of different car quotes will it hurt my credit?
The general rule of thumb is that if you do not provide a Social Security number there is no way to tie the request directly to you. It’s rare that you will encounter at auto-insurance company that requires an SSN for a quote.
In the case of auto-insurance company that requires an SSN my advice would be to steer clear. There are literally hundreds of dog car-insurance companies begging for your business, each Of which usually offer free online auto insurance quotes.
Bottom line is, do not be afraid to be quoted as many times as you’d like. In fact, I suggest being quoted by at least 10 different companies. I took the time to do this and in the end I ended up saving a few hundred dollars per year. Anyway I hope that helps, just search for auto insurance quotes in Google and you will be inundated with free offers
