Insure.com Launches Updated Car Crash Safety Ratings Tool

Insure.com, Inc., headquartered in Darien, Ill., rolled out an upgraded version of its Car Crash Ratings Tool, a free, online information tool that displays car safety data from both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The newly updated Car Crash Safety Ratings Tool enables consumers to quickly research the safety of more than 3,000 automobile models from 1990 through 2009. The car crash tool provides information for rollover resistance ratings, side-impact test results and frontal-impact results. It allows consumers to instantly see how well a vehicle would protect their family in the most common types of automobile crashes. Previously, consumers had to peruse different Web sites or publications in order fully research car-crash tests.
