Often rates are lower on account of no middleman, but, you probably interact directly with the insurer if you have a covered event. These are the ones you can see in commercials asking you to visit a website or 800 number. Companies like Golden Rule and United Healthcare are examples. Choosing such a company can be beneficial if it doesn't bother you to deal with an insurer hundreds of miles away. The second type of sites are those with agents such as State Farm and Blue Cross. These sites offer quotes from a local agent and local servicing of claims. Rates are usually more costly but often not as high as some would lead you to believe.
