      Hi Scot,

      Thanks for reaching out to Finder.

      You can get a quote for your Forester using any of the insurers in the table above. Click the Go to Site button to get your rates.

      You shouldn’t have any trouble getting a quote for your car since the Forester is a very popular model. It also tends to be on the cheaper side to ensure for an SUV.

      If you’re not sure which provider offers the best service, you can take a look at some of the car insurance reviews on our site.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Roslyn
