In California, there are a couple of ways to do this. You can contact an insurance broker by phone or visit a broker's office.

It is perfectly acceptable to use their names in calling them for business purposes only.

Finding an insured agent requires doing a little legwork to gather a few potential leads. Call friends and family and ask whom they might recommend. Other options are to visit state insurance departments, call the companies themselves and request a free policy quote, or request a written quote and file a request online. This gives you the best opportunity to compare policies from several different companies before making a decision.
