Our carrier panel just passed 20
More carriers means better matches. A look at how the Salty panel works and why breadth beats brand loyalty.
Salty now shops your coverage against a panel of more than 20 regional and national carriers, including names like Progressive, GEICO, Chubb, Liberty Mutual, National General, Dairyland, Clearcover, and Root.
Why panel size matters
No single carrier is the cheapest, or the best fit, for everyone. Carriers specialize: some price young drivers well, some love a clean 20-year record, some are strong in exactly three states. The only way to find your carrier is to ask a lot of them.
That is the quiet advantage of a broad panel. Every quote request is a fresh auction for your business, and auctions with more bidders end better for the seller. You are the seller.
Regional carriers punch above their weight
National brands buy the Super Bowl ads, but regional carriers frequently win on price for the drivers they know best. A carrier that only writes in the Mountain West prices Mountain West risks with confidence that a national model cannot match. Panels that skip regionals leave that money on the table.
What happens next
The panel keeps growing. Every carrier we add is one more bidder at your renewal, and one more chance that “keep what you have” loses to something genuinely better.
