Our take
Paying for an insurance plan is something that is easily procrastinated upon, often due to consumers believing that they are paying for more than they are receiving. Many insurance plans are overpriced and unnecessarily complex for the specific circumstances of the consumer, leading them to continue to look elsewhere.
The Zebra provides an online platform for the instant comparison of insurance quotes with the aim to provide personalized policies that provide customers only with what they need in terms of coverage. The company claims to achieve this by partnering with every major insurance provider in the U.S, finding an appropriate customer match, and saving both insurance companies and customers money and time.
There are many insurance quote comparison websites aiming for similar results to this startup, but The Zebra stands out by specializing in a wide variety of personalized insurance plans. These include renters insurance, vehicle-specific insurance, and state-specific insurance. This personalized and cost-efficient approach, it aims to make the process of buying insurance easier and harder to put off.
