How would one go about gathering information to compare insurance prices?

There are essentially three ways a person could gather information and compare insurance premium prices. The first would be to obtain quotes from several different companies and manually compare them. The second choice would be to use a quote service, also known as an online "insurance finder". The last method would be to utilize the services of an independent insurance agent, as most of these are highly skilled at obtaining a spectrum of premium and coverage quotes for any particular need.
