Insurance just a click away

Want an insurance cover for your family, but don't have the time to run after the agents of various companies to decide on a product? Internet's the way to go for you. With policies and products available online, the cheapest deal could be just a click away.

Quick Facts
* www.insurancemall.in is India's only insurance shopping website as of now
* www.getmeinsure.com also deals with online insurance but is restricted to making comparisons among various plans
* Only general insurance policies available online till now
* Even among health plans, only those are available that don't require medical tests
* Pension plans without life cover can also be accessed

The new insurance shopping websites act as online brokers and help you access and compare deals offered by various companies, and then pick the one best suited to you. Normal brokers, too, serve the same purpose, but their operations are largely restricted to high volumes and, hence, their main clients are corporate houses and big organizations.
