Advertising transparency
Free for drivers to research and request.
We explain how the business works, what compensation can influence and the line it never crosses into our editorial research.
Last updated August 9, 2026
The short version
$0 from the shopper
We do not charge people to browse, use the guides or submit a quote request.
Partner-funded
A matched company, agency or marketplace may compensate us for a referral or request.
Editorially separate
Payment never changes a sourced fact, state requirement or editorial conclusion.
How we may get paid
An optional quote request may generate a referral fee.
01
You use the site for free
Reading guides, checking requirements and using the site never requires payment or an account.
02
You choose whether to request
Submitting a quote request is optional and the contact consent is shown beside the form.
03
A partner may compensate us
Insurance partners may pay us for a qualified request, call or referral. You still pay ShowMyRates nothing.
Where revenue comes from
Revenue may come from commercial insurance partners.
Insurance companies, licensed agencies and insurance marketplaces may compensate us when a user clicks through to an offer, submits a quote request or calls a partner number. When compensation is active, it supports the technology, research and operations behind the service.
What payment can affect
Commercial placement is not a complete market ranking.
Compensation may influence which partners appear, their position in a commercial experience and which partners are available for a request. We do not include every insurer or offer in every market, and a familiar company logo is never a promise of availability.
What payment never affects
Payment does not change the facts we publish.
A partner cannot pay to change a state requirement, rate statistic, company attribute or editorial conclusion. Those claims come from named public sources under our Editorial & Data Policy.
After a quote request
Matched partners may contact you.
When you submit, the information you provided is shared with the partners matched to the request. They may contact you by phone, text or email under the consent shown at submission. Browsing without submitting triggers no quote-request contact. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
Compare when you are ready
Use the guides first, then submit one free request if you want licensed partners to review your profile.
