  • Publication number: 20180225770
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing quote continuation are disclosed. In embodiments, a consumer contacts an insurance entity (e.g., an insurance aggregator, insurance agent, etc.) to inquire about a quote for an insurance policy, and the insurance entity generates a plurality of quotes for the consumer. If the consumer does not purchase the insurance policy from the insurance entity during the initial interaction between the respective parties, the insurance entity, or a system of the insurance entity, may generate a notification to the consumer. The notification may include interactive elements that enable the consumer to: 1) review a set of quotes for the insurance policy; 2) purchase the insurance policy; and/or 3) rerate one or more of the quotes. The quotes included in the notification may include quotes for policies offered by different insurance carriers, thus, allowing the consumer to compare rates and policies quickly and easily.
