(ContentDesk) April 4, 2006 -- If shopping around for the best car insurance quote excites you as much as visiting the dentist, new Australian financial services company, ARTOG.com.au, have launched an Australian first service that will be music to your ears.
The company allows you to easily compare car insurance quotes from up to ten major insurers.
Not only will this service save you tedious hours on the phone and internet, it could potentially save you thousands of dollars each time you insure by identifying affordable insurance for your circumstances.Everyone knows if you shop around and compare quotes, you will always get a better price, states ARTOG General Manager, Kevin Sherman.
Understandably, people are time poor and would rather spend their free time doing pretty much anything else other than shopping around for car insurance!ARTOGs Compare My Rates (http://www.artog.com.au/ArtogPersonalQuote/ApplyStep1.aspx) feature is quick, simple and personalised.
You simply enter your personal details once, and within two days receive an emailed price listing for the major insurers.
This enables you to make a side-by-side comparison of the policy costs.
In most instances ARTOG provides a quote number so you dont need to re-enter your details when purchasing cover from your preferred insurer. The entire process is at no cost and totally obligation-free.The savings on offer can be shown in the following example&A 2004 Hyundai Accent (5Door Auto valued at $14,000) driven by a 20 year old female with no claims to her name would cost $4,411 to insure with one company or as little as $1,581 with another thats an incredible saving of $2830 (a 64% reduction).
And ARTOG offers this service completely free.
A list of other examples can be found in a separate document.Customer feedback has been extremely positive during the test period&Thanks a lot for your service; it saved me $1500 AUD by comparing all quotations at the same time.
Connie Hamm (NSW)"Thank you for your website.
It made comparing insurance 100 times easier than trying to ring 10 insurance companies, waiting in the inevitable queues, giving your information 10 times and then having to ring someone back to take up their insurance. I love your prompt results as well, well done! An efficient and extremely useful site."
Shannon Butler (NSW)As a totally independent company, ARTOG is not bound to any financial institution.
Our services are designed to serve our customers, not the banks or insurance companies.
Our aim is to use the power of the internet to deliver great value financial services to consumers; just like buying airline tickets online.

Is Renters' Insurance Really Necessary?
You and your landlord share a common goal: You both want to ensure the protection of your interests. Obtaining a security deposit from you -- usually ranging from $100 to a full month's rent, and averaging $250 -- is how your landlord obtains a degree of insurance from you. The deposit covers your landlord should you cause any damage to your apartment while you are a tenant. Your landlord, in turn, may keep the deposit if you fail to pay your rent or you leave before the end of your lease. However, if, as a tenant, you keep your end of the bargain -- following the terms of your lease and leaving your apartment in good condition when you leave -- the deposit is refundable.So how do you protect your own interests as a tenant? Renters' insurance.
If you're an apartment-dweller, you're probably accustomed to brochures dangling from your door that advertise various renters' insurance policies. And if you're like many renters, you probably disregard them. But you may want to consider...

Why Does Health Insurance Cost So Much?
Why does health insurance cost so much? Year after year, many of the articles that appear in print detail the specific factors driving the cost of healthcare.These factors include: general inflation, advances in drugs and other medical devices, rising hospital and doctor expenses, government mandates, increased consumer demand, litigation, fraud, and cost shifting.The basic answer is that a magic bullet to solve the cost of insurance does not exist because the real difficulty is controlling the cost of healthcare. A simple way to dramatically decrease the dollars spent on healthcare is to reduce the demand for healthcare.I have seen estimates that up to 40% of all healthcare related expenses result from preventable conditions. These preventable conditions are caused by lifestyle choices such as tobacco, obesity, stress, lack of exercise and poor diet.Most of us, myself included, make lifestyle choices everyday that eventually increase our demand for healthcare. We are never going to...

Personal Liability Insurance Important Considerations
The basic coverage for personal liability in standard homeowners, rental, and auto insurance policies often will not cover high losses of court awarded damages. Additional personal liability insurance will add a higher level of protection. This additional policy forms an umbrella because it covers protection above and beyond standard homeowners and auto policies.
Additional costs will vary with insurance companies, but usually average from $200 to $300 a year for additional protection of 1 million dollars. This coverage may insure automobiles, boats, homeowners, and renters insurance.
Most insurance companies require basic insurance of $100,000.
The insured should ask the following questions:
1. How much do I have to lose?
2. What is the monetary total of my assets?
3. How much would legal fees cost me?
4. Are umbrella personal liability policies which cover one million dollars or more worth the extra premiums...
Auto Financing - How to Buy a New Car and Save Money
Copyright 2006 Dean Shainin
For those who have been suffering with a worn out, overused, broke down vehicle, getting a new car is high on their list of priorities. However, their finances can be holding them back in doing so. It is really important to consider the money that you will need with auto financing. This is just being clever and wise since many people have a blurred idea of what it will cost them in getting a new or used car.
Some people would intend to pay in terms of the basic cash price while others would rather choose having monthly payments from auto financing.
Remember, even if you pay for the car with cash, there will still be other finances to come your way, such as your car's insurance, the fuel costs (which can be everyday) and the maintenance. When you buy the latest model car, you will certainly have a high insurance rate.
If you can't afford it or don't have any money saved up yet, you can always try to get auto...

New styles of inkjet cartridges are entering the market all the time, faster than anybody can keep up with. It takes time for the remanufacturers to collect empties and tool up to refill them. Sometimes it could take many months for remanufactured or generic cartridges to hit the market. Bulk inks need to be developed or reverse engineered. For this reason we don't always have refill kits or bulk ink or cartridges right away for new printers.
