Quomation Announces Real-time Rating with Drive Insurance from Progressive

OREM, UTAH -January 9, 2006 - Quomation® Insurance Services, Inc. announced today the release of the first Real-time rating in Nevada with Drive Insurance from Progressive.


Real-time Rating is fully integrated into PowerQuote, combining real-time rates with all of the advantages of traditional comparative rating. Real-time Rating significantly reduces the time required to re-enter data and eliminates navigating through screen after screen to quote or complete a new business transaction.
Quotes with Drive Insurance from Progressive are always exact because Real-time Rating accesses the rate directly from the carrier. It is built on exciting new technology that communicates directly to the carriers' websites. Unlike other web-based products that first transfer the information to a third-party website, Real-time Rating with PowerQuote sends the data directly to the carrier eliminating security risks and potential hardware glitches associated with other rating products.


In addition to providing exact quotes quickly, Real-Time Rating with Drive Insurance from Progressive offers agents a direct link to the Drive Insurance web site. A single button with a simple click-of-the-mouse jumps the user seamlessly into the quote on the Drive Insurance web site eliminating the time-consuming look-up process that is typical of traditionally-bridged quotes.


"PowerQuote from Quomation is by far the number one comparative rater in the State of Nevada and we are very excited to be working with Drive Insurance from Progressive who is the largest writer of auto insurance through independent insurance agencies in the country," said J.R. Jensen, President and CEO of Quomation. "This partnership of technologies really benefits the agencies; improving workflow, saving agents time and effort, helping them to grow their business and satisfy their customers."


The trial release of Real-time Rating for Drive Insurance was rolled out at the end of last year in Nevada and feedback has been very positive with many agents commenting on its speed and how easy it is to use. Future plans include releasing the product into the surrounding intermountain west and nationally.
