InsuranceCostCity generates revenue from a combination of display advertising, affiliate partnerships, and paid embeddable widget subscriptions. This policy describes how those revenue sources work, where they appear on the site, and how they are kept separate from our editorial content and data methodology.
Google AdSense. Display ad units may appear on article pages, calculator pages, and other content areas. Ad targeting is handled by Google. See our Privacy Policy for information about advertising cookies and the choices available to you.
Affiliate partnerships. Outbound links to insurance comparison platforms, financial services, and education providers may be affiliate links. If you click through and complete a qualifying action, InsuranceCostCity may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Sponsored placements. From time to time we may accept paid sponsored content or sponsored modules. Any such placement will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Paid Partner," or similar.
Widget subscriptions. Publishers and operators may pay for Pro widget access. See Widget Terms.
The following parts of the site are editorial. They are not for sale, are not influenced by advertisers, and cannot be modified by a financial arrangement:
• Calculator results and the methodology behind them
• State-by-state insurance cost data
• City-level insurance cost estimates
• Rankings, "best" lists, and "cheapest" lists
• Educational guides and blog posts
• Any commentary or analysis published under our editorial voice
Advertisers cannot buy ranking position. Advertisers cannot buy a higher number on a "cheapest state" list. Advertisers cannot pay to alter how the calculators estimate premiums. If we ever feature a partner inside editorial content, it will be on the basis of our editorial judgment about their relevance, accuracy, or usefulness — not because of a commercial relationship.
For details on how editorial content is produced, see our Editorial Policy.
We label paid content because we expect readers to be able to tell what is editorial and what is advertising. Examples of labeling we use or may use:
• "Sponsored" — a third party paid for the placement and may have approved the copy
• "Advertisement" or "Ad" — standard programmatic or direct-sold ad placements
• "Paid Partner" — a content partnership, the inclusion is paid
• "Affiliate" — outbound link that may earn us a commission, the editorial selection is ours
Links to insurance carriers, comparison platforms, brokers, agents, or other financial services do not imply that InsuranceCostCity endorses, recommends, vouches for, or has verified the offerings on the linked site. We are not a licensed insurance agent or broker. We do not provide quotes, bind coverage, or sell insurance. Always verify pricing, coverage, exclusions, deductibles, and terms directly with the carrier before purchasing.
• We do not accept payment to alter calculator outputs
• We do not accept payment to change state or city rankings
• We do not accept payment to suppress unfavorable information about a carrier
• We do not sell user data to advertisers
• We do not present advertising as if it were editorial content
