For some reason car insurance agencys want your social security number for car insurance quotes. My question is, are they doing hard credit checks that remove 5 points off your credit score?

What insurance companies offer the cheapest rates, but give you your moneys worth?

Probably doing a driving record check.

Looks like it depends on who it is as to whether it is a hard or soft inquiry. Search over at creditboards.com

My Insurance agent explained to me he needed that info because i was setting up to directly draw funds out of my checking account and that was S.O.P. according to the new homeland security laws.

a lot of times they do credit checks. But those checks only lower your score temporarily, it will go back up after a few months
