# Get a quote

> How to start an insurance quote with Nelson & Associates — what you’ll need and what happens next.

Starting a quote should be simple: tell us what you need, a licensed agent follows up during business hours, and you get clear options — not pressure.

## How to start

1. Open the [consumer quote form](https://nelsonandassociatesinc.com/quote?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=get-a-quote) for auto, home, or life.
2. For a business you run, use the [commercial page](https://nelsonandassociatesinc.com/commercial?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=get-a-quote).
3. Share accurate contact details so we can reach you.

## What helps the conversation

Have handy (as applicable):

* ZIP code and property or vehicle basics
* Current coverage if you’re shopping a renewal
* Preferred call window during **Mon–Fri 9–5 CT**

You don’t need a perfect spreadsheet — honesty beats guesswork.

## What happens next

A licensed agent reaches out during business hours (**Mon–Fri 9–5 CT**) to understand your situation and walk through options. See [What to expect on a call](/guides/what-to-expect-on-a-call).

We serve households and businesses in **19 states** — details on [Licensed states](/guides/licensed-states).
