Car Insurance FAQ

Are Barato’s rates the same as rates from an agent?

No. Buying through our agent could result in the most cheaper prices for your policies because we run your quote against multiple carriers and offer you the best possible discounts in your circumstances. We work with an extensive list of carriers that other agents don’t. This gives us a competitive edge on find the best prices for our clients.

Regardless of how you purchase your policy, you'll always receive the benefits and services Barato offers to all its customers, including unparalleled customer, claims and online service.

How does Barato determine my insurance rate?

Barato, like other insurers, groups customers based on similar characteristics, evaluates their claims experiences within these groups, and determines what to charge individuals with characteristics similar to members of the group. We charge a higher rate for customers more likely to have claims, and a lower rate for customers less likely to have claims.

We use insurance scores, and, depending on your state, we also consider your driving record, type of vehicle, where you live, your gender, your age and other factors.

How can I receive rates for other car insurance companies?


To receive rates for other auto insurers in your state, you must get a Barato quote online first or call us directly at 1-888-817-3480. Once you receive your quote, you can answer a few more questions to compare our rate with rates from other leading car insurance companies.

Why did my rate change after I received a quote?

Several factors could influence why your rate changed between the time you received your quote and the time you decided to purchase your policy. If it's been a few months since you received your quote, it's possible we revised rates in your area, which could decrease or increase the price you pay for auto insurance. If you received a quote recently, it's possible something on your driving record - or the driving records of others on your policy - prompted a change in the quoted price.
