Getting quotes for services online

As the web grows, it has become increasingly easier to get things done right from your fingertips, without ever making a phone call. A couple of months ago I got some quotes to move a piano (a family heirloom) from my Aunt’s house to mine. I did everything online, even uploaded photos to them so they could provide insurance, and they emailed me a quote and I set up service by responding to emails and filling in web forms. Quick and very easy.

I’ve been noticing lately, a lot more companies offering online quotes, and even some online services where you can receive multiple quotes from different vendors so you can pick the one you like best. From swimming pools, to home security, to insurance to fence installation and more, you can get all your quotes and set up service online without ever having to pick up the phone. This is especially nice for those of us with screaming children at home!

Have you ever used the web to get quotes and set up service? Car rentals? Airplane tickets? Anything?
