OTTO Quotes AI Surpasses 40 Million Consumers Helped
OTTO Quotes AI , the consumer-first insurance comparison platform, announced it has helped more than 40 million people nationwide. This milestone underscores OTTO’s rapid growth and its mission to simplify the insurance-shopping process for consumers across the United States. The achievement highlights OTTO’s growth in the insurance comparison market, where speed, accuracy, and accessibility are critical. In just a few years, OTTO has helped 40 million people and emerged as a leader in how consumers evaluate coverage. “Reaching more than 40 million consumers demonstrates the trust people are placing in OTTO,” said a company spokesperson. “We set out to simplify the process of finding insurance and to put consumers in control of their options. This milestone shows that our approach is making a meaningful difference.” For drivers like Derek E., a 38-year-old from Sarasota, Florida, OTTO Quotes provided both savings and convenience. “I was paying just under $400 a month,” Derek said. “I was surprised I got the coverage that I did and especially at literally less than half the price.” He also emphasized how OTTO makes shopping for car insurance less repetitive. “It was incredible, instead of having to go to each individual auto insurer and put in the same information over and over again. To be able to do it once in one place and then have the deals come to you made it convenient and easy,” he said. The platform enables users to access multiple insurance quotes quickly without providing highly sensitive personal details such as Social Security numbers or credit card information. “Not asking the serious personal information, I thought was really cool,” Derek added. According to the company, this consumer-first approach has been central to its expansion. Unlike traditional methods of comparing auto insurance and other coverage, OTTO Quotes uses AI technology to connect consumers with trusted carriers in minutes. The system is built to streamline the process, helping individuals find suitable policies and identify potential savings without added complexity. “Consumers today want more than just price comparisons; they want a process that respects their time and privacy,” the spokesperson said. “We built OTTO to meet those expectations, and the fact that tens of millions of people have already used the platform shows the industry is moving in this direction.” About OTTO Quotes AI OTTO Quotes AI is a consumer-first insurance comparison platform that uses advanced AI to help people shop for auto, home, life, and pet coverage quickly and securely. Without requiring sensitive details like Social Security numbers, OTTO delivers personalized quotes online or by phone—saving consumers time and money.

OTTO Quotes AI Teams Up with Miami Dade Animal Services to Ensure Shelter Dog Finds a Loving Home
Adam is a healthy, neutered dog who is both dog- and people-friendly, making him an ideal companion for families or individuals looking to adopt a pet. Currently residing at Miami-Dade Animal Services, Adam represents many shelter animals waiting to be part of a loving family. OTTO Quotes AI’s sponsorship of Adam’s journey is a tangible demonstration of the company’s dedication to making a positive impact beyond the insurance industry, emphasizing compassion and action in the local community. According to his shelter report, he is both people-friendly and dog-friendly. Adam is an obedient pup with the right energy: he loves to run and play, but he’s equally happy to lounge by your side. Whether galloping through the yard or relaxing for a quiet hangout, Adam is the perfect mix of fun and calm companionship. His ID number at MDAS is A2698624 , and he’s ready to bring joy to the lucky family who adopts him. This effort is critical, as shelters nationwide face overcrowding and many animals like Adam urgently need homes. By covering transport costs, OTTO Pet is helping remove barriers that can prevent adoptions and encouraging more people to consider rescuing shelter pets. OTTO Quotes AI’s support for Adam’s adoption reflects its mission to create positive change beyond insurance. Known for helping consumers compare quotes across auto, home, pet, and more, the company also shows its commitment to social responsibility by championing pet adoption and supporting needy animals. Adam’s story has already reached thousands online, with an Instagram Reel posted by OTTO Pet (@myottopets) receiving over half a million views. The attention highlights both Adam’s need for a home and the importance of adopting from shelters, inspiring more people to get involved. The partnership with Miami Dade Animal Services is expected to be the first of many efforts by OTTO Pet to support animal welfare. OTTO Quotes AI sets an example for other companies by promoting adoption and responsible pet ownership while strengthening community ties and goodwill. Adoptions for Adam and other shelter pets must be completed in person at Miami-Dade Animal Services, ensuring that each adoption is handled with care and responsibility. Interested adopters can call 305-884-1101 or email [email protected] .

Colin Kirkham, Group IT Manager at Swansway said: “I first joined the company as a parts supervisor, and I was really grateful to be given the opportunity to develop my interest in IT. That led to a sideways career move into the IT department, where I’ve helped grow the operation from just one person to the team of six we have today. I’ve also been given the chance to continue developing Swansway’s IT functions, which has been a fantastic journey.” Swansway now employs more than 1,100 people and to mark the anniversary, every one of its dealerships received birthday cakes to share across their teams.
