Pros and cons
Pros
- Quotations come from 494 listed brands, of which 332 are licensed, so there is room to compare.
- Monthly payment is standard on the listings, with 88.9% offering it against 11.1% that do not.
- The site matches drivers to insurers rather than writing cover itself, comparison site, so the policy sits with the provider you pick.
Cons
- Cover is limited to auto, auto, so home, renters and travel quotes sit outside the comparison.
- Quoted prices are widely spread, with €2.92 at the lower quartile and €29.72 at the upper, so a low headline figure says little about fuller cover.
Who it suits
- Drivers in the US shopping for car cover, since it is based in the United States.
- Anyone who wants a wide view of the market, with 494 brands listed and 6 partners behind the quotes.
- Older drivers, who make up 68.2% of the audience reached through the site.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after home, renters or travel cover, since Good Sam Insurance Agency lists auto, home and renters where The Zebra lists auto.
- UK buyers, because Hiscox UK covers home, renters and landlord and operates well away from the US market.

Frequently asked questions
Is The Zebra an insurer or a comparison site?+
It is a comparison site, comparison site, so it does not underwrite the policy itself. It matches a driver's details with insurers in its listings and the cover comes from the provider chosen through the site. That distinction matters for regulation, since the policy is written by the provider rather than by the site.
What do car premiums look like across its listings?+
The middle of the premium range on the site is €8.37, while the lower quarter of quotes sits at €2.92 and the upper quarter at €29.72. Against the wider car insurance market, where the median is €8.72, the figures sit close together.
Can I pay monthly for a policy found here?+
Monthly payment is the norm on this site, with 100% of the market's listings on a monthly model and 88.9% offering monthly payments against 11.1% that do not. The same pattern holds across the car insurance market, where 89.4% offer monthly options.
Does The Zebra sell anything other than car insurance?+
No. Its insurance types list holds auto alone, so the comparison is built around car cover. Buyers who want several lines handled together would look elsewhere, since Good Sam Insurance Agency carries auto, home and renters.

The site lists 494 brands, of which 332 are licensed, and works with 6 partners. Across the car insurance category as a whole, 381 brands appear and 205 of those hold a licence.
Who is the site aimed at?+
Drivers in the US, given its home market of US, and a readership that leans towards older drivers, since seniors make up 68.2% of the audience. Expats form a smaller group at 44.8%, below the 41.2% seen across the car insurance market.
When was The Zebra set up?+
