The History of SelectQuote

The History of SelectQuote

What does the history of one of America’s leading insurance brokerages look like? For SelectQuote, it looks like spending 40 years helping more than 2 million customers secure over $700 billion in life insurance coverage.

Since 1985, SelectQuote has provided solutions that help people protect their most valuable assets: their families, health, and property. We pioneered the model of providing unbiased comparisons from multiple, highly rated insurance companies, allowing consumers to choose the policy and terms that best meet their unique needs. Our experienced licensed insurance agents have an average tenure of more than 10 years in the life insurance industry, and we currently offer more than 100 unique life insurance plans. 

Long story short: we know what we’re doing. Read on to learn more about how SelectQuote can help you find affordable coverage, no matter your needs or budget. 

Why life insurance?

At its most basic, life insurance is a financial safeguard that protects your loved ones when you pass away. There are many types of life insurance to choose from, but SelectQuote is here to walk you through the differences so you can decide what coverage is right for you. 

Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance is popular due to its affordability and flexibility, as you only buy as much coverage as you need. Common term lengths range from 10 to 30 years. SelectQuote offers 48 unique term life insurance plans through our trusted carrier partners, so you can feel confident our licensed agents will help you find a policy that works for your needs.

Permanent Life Insurance

Permanent life insurance, as the name implies, is meant to last your entire lifetime. Permanent policies include a cash value component that accumulates over time, which can then be borrowed against or used as an additional financial tool toward milestones like retirement

Final Expense Insurance

Final expense insurance, also known as burial insurance, helps cover end-of-life expenses like funeral payments, medical bills, and debt when you pass away. Having final expense insurance helps provide peace of mind to your loved ones that they won’t be burdened with additional responsibilities during an already difficult time.   

Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

Accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D insurance) offers financial protection if an accident results in death or severe injury to the policyholder. AD&D insurance may not offer enough protection on its own but can be a great option to supplement any traditional life insurance policies you hold.

No matter the policy type you choose, our licensed insurance agents have the experience and knowledge needed to help you navigate decisions about coverage. 

What Makes SelectQuote Different

When it comes to shopping for life insurance, we know there are many options. Before you go with an independent broker or start a fully online quote form, consider the factors that set SelectQuote apart from the rest.

  • Accuracy of Quotes: Getting a life insurance quote through a completely online process often results in inaccurate prices. Our licensed agents work with you one-on-one to do what an algorithm can’t—get to know you and your unique needs to get you the most accurate quote possible. 

  • Ease and Efficiency: Our agents use proprietary technology that takes information like your health, finances, budget, and more to find the right policy for you at a rate you can afford—all in as little as 15 minutes.

  • Commission-Agnostic Agents: Not only do our agents have an average of over 10 years of experience in the life insurance industry, but they’re also commission-agnostic. This means they’ll work for you, not the insurance carriers, because their sole focus is finding you the right life insurance rather than earning a commission payout.

  • Affordable Coverage for All Levels of Health: Our healthiest customers may qualify for same-day coverage through our exclusive no medical exam life insurance option. But if you have a health concern, don’t worry. We’re able to match people with a range of health conditions—including high blood pressure, diabetes, or even heart disease—with affordable coverage, even if they’ve been turned away from other carriers.

  • Trusted Carrier Suite: We partner with many of the nation’s most highly rated life insurance carriers to give you the option of choice.
