Insure.com Launches Updated Car Crash Safety Ratings ToolTool Enables Car Shoppers to Identify the Safest Cars of 1990-2009 Model YearsSource: Insure.com, Inc. Insure.com, Inc. announced that it has launched an upgraded version of its Car Crash Safety Ratings Tool, which is a free, online information tool that conveniently displays car-safety data from both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The new Car Crash Safety Ratings Tool enables consumers to quickly research the safety of over 3,000 models from 1990 through 2009. This new tool is available now at http://www.insure.com/articles/interactivetools/carcrash/carcrash.jsp. "Car safety is of huge importance to consumers," remarked Amy Danise, editor of Insure.com. "Our upgraded Car Crash Safety Ratings Tool ends car-safety confusion and delivers breakthrough ease of use by showing available car crash data on one screen. Now all car shoppers can know all the safety ratings of a particular car before they buy. Buying a safe car not only makes common sense, but also smart car shoppers can expect to be rewarded with years of lower car insurance premiums." Previously, consumers had to wade through different Web sites or publications in order fully research car-crash tests. One-of-a-kind information display "Insure.com's car crash tool is one of the first of its kind - the blending of government crash test results along with a privately funded insurance organization allows consumers to instantly compare two unique sets of crash data at once," said Insure.com IT Director Mike Zuccato. "The convenience factor is very high with this revamped tool." The car crash tool is a reliable source of information for rollover resistance ratings, side-impact test results and frontal-impact results. It allows the consumer to instantly see how well a vehicle would protect their family in the most common kinds of crashes. |
