what is the meaning of quote to bind
  

Top answer

In the insurance business, a client obtains a quote for the premium to insure some property or situation. If the price/quote is acceptable, the client accepts and the agent/broker binds the contract on behalf of his company. The bound agreement is usually limited time-wise to a period of perhaps 30 days and is replaced by a written and signed contract between the client and the insurance company.
