About CoverHound

Is CoverHound an insurance provider?

CoverHound is not an insurance provider or an insurance carrier. We are an online Insurance Agency that shops with several leading insurance providers depending on the state you are located in to provide you with instant, accurate quotes for comparison shopping. Every insurance carrier or insurance provider we work with must maintain a strong rating with A.M. Best, which is the leading global full-service credit rating agency dedicated to serving the insurance industry.

How is CoverHound different from other insurance
quote comparison sites?

CoverHound has a direct relationship with insurance carriers, which enables us to show actual rates and sell policies on the carrier's behalf. Other comparison shopping sites provide estimates that are not real-time, true quotes, and often end up selling customer information.At CoverHound, the shopper’s privacy is protected. We do not sell or share any customer information unless it’s used to facilitate the purchase of an insurance policy. You will not receive random phone calls or emails from outside insurance agents, but you may receive follow-up contact from trusted CoverHound Insurance Agents who will further assist you in your search for the best insurance option available. For more information, visit coverhound.com/privacy.

Do you charge a Broker Fee?

No, we don’t charge any broker fees.

How does CoverHound make money?

CoverHound primarily makes money by getting a commission from the insurance carrier for the policy you purchase via CoverHound. We’re committed to providing you with the very best service.

What type of payment methods do you accept?

Payment method may depend on the carrier you select, but we accept all forms of credit or debit cards.

Quotes & Policies

Are your quotes really free?

Yes! It is 100% free to compare insurance quotes at CoverHound.

Are your quotes just estimated premiums?

No, our insurance quotes are real, actual rates obtained directly from the insurance carriers we represent. CoverHound also takes pride in the fact that these actual rates are delivered very quickly online or over the phone with a licensed CoverHound Insurance Agent.

I need an SR22 filing. Does your quote include
the filing fee?

SR22 filing fees average about $20-$25. If you get a quote on CoverHound.com, currently the rate will exclude SR22 fees. However, you can get a final rate with all fees included by emailing our licensed insurance advisors at service@coverhound.com.

Will getting a quote affect my credit score?

No. Even though, in most cases, individual carriers will access your credit score to make a quote, they make what's called a 'soft inquiry', or soft pull. These have no impact on your FICO or credit score since they're not related to applying for financing. It will show on your records so that you know who accessed the report; but think of it like getting a credit card offer in the mail, as opposed to attempting to get approved for an auto loan. No credit score is pulled when carriers quote for business insurance.

What types of discounts do you offer?

For auto insurance, the discounts we offer include: multi-policy, multi-car, multi-driver, new car, mature driver, safe driver, higher education, homeowners, continuously insured, paperless, military, special occupational discounts, driver training, good student, usage based pricing, e-sign, and many others depending on the insurance carriers available to you in your area.

You may also lower your cost with a switcher discount when moving your policy to a new insurance provider. We can help you do that.

Do you offer a discount if I purchase more than one
policy on your site?

In almost all cases, if you purchase two or more policies from the same carrier through CoverHound you will get a multi-policy discount. However, sometimes the combined cost of getting an auto policy from one carrier and a homeowners policy from another is cheaper than if any discount was applied with a single carrier. The beauty of CoverHound is you find the cheapest available package across multiple carriers.

Will CoverHound service my policy if I buy from them?

We service most policies we sell. Whether CoverHound or your carrier services your policy, CoverHound’s Customer Care Team is always there to address your needs or concerns.

I need a Certificate of Insurance. Who do I request
that from?

Typically, a certificate of insurance will be included as part of your policy forms. If you cannot find this, please reach out to your insurance carrier’s customer service department.

Quotes on CoverHound are cheaper than what I’m
currently paying. Can I cancel my policy?

Yes - you can cancel your current policy and be refunded a prorated portion of your premium; however, make sure your new insurance policy is in effect before cancelling to avoid any coverage gaps.

How do I file a claim?

You should reach out directly to the claims department of your insurance provider. If you have trouble locating that information, please email our customer care specialists at service@coverhound.com.

Can I change the limits or other terms of my policy?

If you have purchased a policy through CoverHound, please email our Insurance Advisors at service@coverhound.com, to discuss policy changes.

information safe?
