Hello there Sea Changers. Welcome back to my series of program lists to assist those of you looking to fund your sea change with affiliate marketing. Today we are going to continue our journey through the insurance niche with my 10 auto insurance affiliate programs to drive with this year.
This post has come about from a recent one I did covering insurance programs as whole where it quickly became evident that there is so much to choose from within this niche that I have had to expand on every example I had included.
So for those looking to specialise within the auto insurance market, or add to any other car, RV or truck etc. related niche, let's check out what I have found.
- Liberty Mutual
- Allstate
- esure
- Electric Insurance Company
- Aviva
- AiB
- Trip Cover
- gabi
- insurify
- Confused.com
That's right! Wealthy Affiliate provided me with all of the tools and training I needed to get this post in front of my audience - a.k.a YOU!
You too can start your very own online business here that can make you money from anywhere in the world!!
Before we begin however, I am conscious that there are a number of different areas or sub niches within this subject hence the quantity of affiliate programs to choose from may be just as large. So how have I picked my best 10? Well… I really just wanted to give you a good cross section of what is out there so I did some searching around and checked a few out and chose them by looking at:
- What they offer
- Commission rates
- Payment terms
- Cookie duration
- Application processes
- Affiliate/Marketing materials provided
Legalities and Financial Implications
Before we begin however, there are a couple of things I just wanted to to cover. Firstly it should be highlighted that legalities around the sale of insurance policies vary substantially from country to country or state to state. Secondly, by nature, the acquisition of an insurance policy can place users into a contracted arrangement in which policy payments must be made in accordance with contract outlines and inclusions.
So if you are looking at this from an affiliate marketing point of view, great care must be given as to whether you could be construed as giving actual financial or insurance advice or not as many countries also regulate those who are legally able to do so. With all that in mind then, the list of affiliate programs below is provided on a factual basis only and due diligence should be undertaken in regards to their jurisdictional legalities prior to applying. They are also not provided with any advice in regards to the acquisition or use of these insurance policies.
Auto Insurance Affiliate Programs
So, now that that is all out the way, let's have a look at 10 car insurance affiliate program options that I have found below:
1. Liberty Mutual
Let's start with one of the biggest insurers in the United States in Liberty Mutual. Founded in 1912, the organisation has grown to become the 6th largest insurer in the world with a massive automobile centred portfolio including:
- Car
- Motorcycle
- Boat & Watercraft
- Antique & Classic Car
- ATV & Off-Road Vehicle
- Recreational Vehicle (RV)
In addition, for those in the great insurance coverage niches, they also offer
Property
- Home
- Renters
- Condo
- Landlord
- Mobile Home Insurance
- Flood
Other
- Umbrella
- Life
- Accident
- Critical Illness
- Identity Theft
- Pet
- Tuition
- Small Business
And as is becoming more and more common these days, they offer discounts for online management as well as services such as roadside assistance and small business advice options.
This is a great site for affiliates as it allows you to cover auto insurance as a base or all aspects of insurance in the one spot. It would also make a great addition to any niche dealing with the above areas as well.

How to find your own affiliate programs
As stated earlier, by outlining the sites above I have really just tried to give you a good cross section of the types of programs that are out there by listing the really good ones in each ‘category'. That does not mean that you cannot find affiliate programs that better suit what it is that you are trying to do within this space especially as I could never even begin to cover every auto insurance related requirement or sub niche in the one post. Luckily for us, there is a simple way to find these programs online.
All you need to do is enter “affiliate: niche type” into your search engine (substituting ‘niche type‘ for whatever product it is that you are choosing to sell).
There are insurance affiliate programs for everything else that we have listed at the top of this page as well – you will just need to have a look around until you find one or two that suit your site. Once you have completed your searches, you can look through and find programs that:
- Relate to your niche/problems that you are solving.
- Have quality products – your brand can be severely damaged if you promote poor quality or untrustworthy products.
- Have solid payment and customer service arrangement.
- Pay decent commissions.
- Have good testimonials covering commission payouts and quality of product.
In most cases, you will need to apply for the program before you are allowed to promote their products – don’t take this step lightly or you will be rejected. Affiliate programs will generally want to know:
- Your website name.
- Traffic levels.
- Why you want to join – (so I can make money by selling your car insurance is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
- How you plan to promote their products.
Conclusion
So… There are 10 of the best auto insurance affiliate programs to drive with this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own insurance based affiliate marketing business and as usual, please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any questions, need some advice or have any experiences to share. Oh, and especially comment if you have any experience with these, or any other programs as well.
Until next time
Have fun
Paul

Introducing Wealthy Affiliate, My #1 Recommendation for Setting Up Your Own Online Business
When I started, I knew I wanted to work online, but had absolutely no idea where to begin! You see I had watched friends of mine run a sales party to sell essential oils and someone asked if they could just sell them online?
Then, as I sat on the bus heading into my office job, I started to wonder if I could do just that, sell essential oils online.
Anything to stop having to catch this bus to and from work every day right!
The trouble was, as I mentioned above, I had no idea how to even start.
So of course I started to look around online and found all these courses! They all promised me riches then took my money but left me with no riches!
Then I stumbled across the program that didn’t promise me riches, but told me it could help me get started even with no experience!
So I did that, joined Wealthy Affiliate that was it, and the rest as they say, is history!
But it doesn’t come without work!
That is the key here! I began on their starter membership and did the training! I then joined as a member and did some more training!
Each night after work, I would do a little more, then a little more.
And to cut a long story short, after 10 months I realized I didn’t really like writing about essential oils, so I sold the site for about $2000. But I had learned so much that I started another – about fishing and camping!
Then, after 18 months (by which time it had earned me close to $10k), I was offered $17k for the site, so I sold it too.
Now, through my travel blog, I’ve been able to fund my passion for travel and explore different places around the world.
In the past few months, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some amazing destinations, including Bali, Los Angeles, Dallas, Vancouver and Las Vegas.
The success of my travel blog has allowed me to fully fund my travels and explore new destinations with my family.
