Market Wire, 20050229

For the first time in the history of the prestigious Gomez(TM) Internet Insurance Scorecard, QuickenInsurance(SM) (www.QuickenInsurance.com), has been recognized as the #1 Insurance Site on the Internet for the THIRD consecutive season. QuickenInsurance outperformed such other category members as InsWeb, Insurance.com, Pivot and QuickQuote for this honor.

In addition to the highest overall score, QuickenInsurance, which is provided by Intuit Insurance Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU), received top honors in three of the four key Gomez categories: Ease of Use, On-Site Resources, and Relationship Services.

Gomez, the Internet quality measurement firm, further praised QuickenInsurance as the best service for One-Stop Shoppers, Auto Buyers and Life Buyers.

"These results speak volumes for the services that we at QuickenInsurance provide to consumers on a daily basis," said Steven Aldrich, president and general manager of QuickenInsurance. "At QuickenInsurance, it is all about the consumer. We work every day to provide consumers with the most comprehensive and easiest online experience possible. Receiving this recognition from the leading e-commerce authority is further proof that we are succeeding."

Gomez once again recognized QuickenInsurance for the company's unique ability to provide consumers with the tools and information to actually complete an automobile insurance policy purchase online from not one, but multiple insurance providers. It is important to note that QuickenInsurance is the only site on the Internet that allows consumers this valuable option. Gomez also praised the effectiveness of the marketplace's host of educational resources, tools and calculators that help consumers determine the appropriate level of coverage for themselves.
