My experience has been that you can only find the best price by 
shopping around yourself (which I hate, and think is a big hassle).
This is because of all the factors that are unique to you: driving
record, zip code, age, etc.  There are some insurance companies that
don't use agents or only use specific agents, so simply calling an
independent agent will not necessarily find you the best price.

I just priced auto insurance this week and was quoted prices from about
$2200 to $3600 for identical coverage from different companies.  I did
the same thing about a year and a half ago and at that time a different
company was cheaper.  

There was a special issue of Consumer Reports last fall (maybe October?)
that compared the insurance prices of a bunch of companies for 3
different "profiles" of drivers.
