Hunter Hilinski

Hunter Hilinski is a staff writer at AutoInsurance.com. He holds over eight years of professional experience in writing, research, and education. His greatest passion is teaching his undergraduate students, and he treats his professional writing as a continuation of this practice in consumer education. His goal is always to help inform consumers to make smart decisions that do not burden them economically, so that their hard-earned money goes as far as possible. He believes that prices in most aspects of our lives are on the rise, and because wages don’t always reflect the rising cost of living, we have to find ways to save wherever the opportunity arises.

Expert Advice

Hunter’s expert advice is to explore a range of online quotes and compare as many options as possible. He also encourages consumers to directly contact the companies they are researching. It is often the case that speaking with agents directly will uncover discounts and saving opportunities that aren’t always apparent on the website or during the online quote process. For the most part, insurance companies will find as many opportunities for you to save so they can secure your business, and usually, the best way to find these deals is to go directly to the source.
