DARIEN, Ill

LifeQuotes.com, the online life insurance price comparison service that offers instant quotes from 43 leading life insurers and allows customers to buy from any company shown, today unveiled a suite of innovative enhancements that speed up and simplify the life insurance shopping process.

We know that today's life insurance shoppers have a lot on their minds, said LifeQuotes.com founder and CEO, Robert Bland. The experience of advising and placing 360,000 policies on our platform has helped us make both digital and human service advancements that solve the problems of customer confusion and high cost when it comes to selecting an appropriate life insurance policy. At LifeQuotes.com, matching customer needs to the most appropriate life insurance policy at the lowest possible cost has now become an exercise measured in minutes instead of days or hours.

The functional enhancements being announced today pertain to the company's desktop and tablet platforms.

Robert Goss, executive vice president, said, We modernized our home page at www.LifeQuotes.com to show real-life examples of coverage needs. We now display a live feed of customer reviews, which have averaged 4.62 Stars based upon 73,200 reviews, we posted the most common Questions and Answers for customer convenience and we made one-click access to other lines of insurance that are being provided by trusted partners. The net effect of these enhancements is that the life insurance customer becomes educated about the financial, lifestyle and health factors that affect the price of life insurance.

Life insurance premiums fall to all-time lows

The following annual sample annual premiums were obtained from a survey completed by Lifequotes.com of 50 leading life insurance companies as of October 19, 2019.

Because life premiums are at or near historic lows, buyers can now lock-in great rates for their choice of ten to thirty years. And we also offer lifetime policies that feature level death benefits and level premiums for life, Goss continued.

Economic uncertainties have made the need for basic life insurance more important than ever because personal life insurance proceeds are generally not taxed as income to the beneficiary.

When it comes to life insurance, many U.S. adults are uninsured or underinsured. According to the Life Insurance Market Research Association (LIMRA), a whopping 30 percent of U.S. households (35 million) do not have any life insurance and only 44 percent of U.S. households own an individual life insurance policy.
