TurboRater

TurboRater is a personal lines comparative insurance rating platform from Insurance Technologies Corporation (ITC), now part of Zywave (marketed within Zywave Sales Cloud). It lets agencies, carriers, lead providers, and online aggregators quote auto, homeowners, condominium, renters, dwelling fire, and motorcycle coverage from 200+ carriers in a single workflow. ITC exposes a web service-based rating API (a service-oriented version of TurboRater it first offered to third parties in 2010, extended with a homeowner rating API in 2016) that returns real-time rates from hundreds of carriers and can pull quote data as XML or ITC's proprietary Turbo Tags (TT2) format, plus a real-time bridge that hands a completed quote into an agency point-of-sale or management system. The rating API is partner- and subscription-gated - access, carrier appointments, and the developer documentation are provisioned through ITC/Zywave sales rather than a public developer portal, so the specific endpoints below are honestly modeled from published behavior, not copied from a public API reference.

TurboRater publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Insurance, InsurTech, Comparative Rating, Auto Insurance, and Home Insurance.

TurboRater’s developer surface includes documentation and 6 more developer resources.
