9 Key Points to Consider About Gabi Before Requesting a Quote:
Gabi functions as an independent agent, not just a comparison rate shopping tool. This means you purchase the policy directly from Gabi without completing the process on the insurer’s website.
Connecting your existing insurance account speeds up Gabi’s quoting process. If you upload a PDF, manual verification is necessary before you can view rates.
Initial quotes may change and require approval from the insurance company. Verification of your driving record, loss history, and other variables is part of this process, taking up to 24 hours (though it may be quicker).
There’s no guarantee that the coverage of your existing policy matches the quoted policy. Gabi strives to align the coverage as closely as possible, but it’s crucial to review the details for an accurate comparison.
Gabi does not assist in obtaining the correct coverage; it assumes your existing policy coverage is accurate.
Gabi’s policy recommendations are ranked based on price. While cost is essential, ensure that coverages match, as the cheapest policy may not be the right fit for you.
Payment information submission is required before seeing approved rates. Although Gabi doesn’t charge until you approve the final rate, you must provide payment details to receive the rates.
Gabi adopts a moderate approach in selling policies. After applying for a quote, there is minimal follow-up, with only one automated email and text. No phone calls have been reported.
What Sets Gabi Apart from Zebra and Similar Comparison Sites?
Comparison sites, often referred to as aggregators, enable you to compare prices across various websites and providers.
Nevertheless, these platforms do not facilitate the purchase of the actual insurance policy. Once you click through or provide your information, their role is completed.
Aggregators usually generate revenue by selling your data or earning a commission from the insurance company.
This operational model closely resembles how Kayak or Expedia functions when you’re searching for flights or hotels.
Their revenue comes from policy purchases, typically earning a percentage of the total premium.
In contrast, larger aggregators like Zebra generate income through clicks or leads, irrespective of policy purchases.
While the nationwide independent agent model is not new and has existed for decades, Gabi distinguishes itself by integrating AI quoting technology.
This technology facilitates seamless price comparisons across various policies, enhancing the customer’s ability to save both during the initial purchase and throughout their customer journey.
After becoming a customer, if Gabi observes an increase in your rates by 8% or more during the renewal process, they will automatically re-evaluate and explore potential savings within their carrier network.
