A new survey has found that a growing number of consumers are willing to purchase auto insurance without consulting an agent first.
A survey by Baltimore-based Vertis Communications found that 40 percent of consumers in the United States are willing to purchase auto insurance directly over the phone, Internet or mail without using an agent.
This is an 11-percentage-point increase over the survey's 2003 result, when 29 percent said they were willing to make similar purchases.
