Benefits of an Independent Insurance Broker
Why choose an independent insurance broker? There are a number of reasons why, and in this article, we’ll check out some of these. Many people think or believe that they don’t need an insurance broker, especially when it comes to motor insurance, but by not getting a quote using an insurance broker, they could be losing money or missing out on a much better quote. We’ll see the reasons and explanations for that below. After reading this article, you might be very surprised.
1. Get Quotes Not Available to the Public
Contrary to popular belief, many people think that insurance brokers are just in the middle of the insurance process, and that an individual without an insurance broker could get the same deal as an insurance broker. However, this isn’t actually the case in reality. Since insurance brokers have forged excellent relationships with insurance companies, they’ll be able to get discounts or quotes that aren’t instantly available to the general public. This is mainly because insurance companies trust insurance brokers to bring customers to them, and for that reason, they will continue to give lower quotes to insurance brokers. The discount might not be a huge amount, but it’s still enough to give you an extra discount over everyone else.
2. Saves You Time
Time is more valuable than money oftentimes, and it’s a well-known fact that many insurance companies force you to wait in a queue on the phone for up to fifteen, sometimes thirty minutes, in order to connect you to an agent. By hiring an independent insurance broker, they will do much of the work for you, and with their existing relationships with insurance companies, they will be able to do it quicker and more directly. Since brokers do much of the legwork, if not all, you won’t have to waste time waiting in queues on the phone. Here at Weir Insurance, we compare dozens of insurers to help you gain the best price. That’s dozens with an s, not just dozen.
3. Get Access to Extra Insurance Companies
Some insurance companies only work with insurance brokers and don’t actually allow the general public to gain quotes from them; the customers they gain from insurance brokers fills their needs. As a result, you might be missing out on extra insurance companies that have better deals if you don’t decide to go through an insurance broker. It’s always good to have extra options, because at least, you won’t be missing out on any private insurance companies. They are a lot rarer than regular insurance companies, but for your specialist quote, you just might find the right insurance company that suits your price range and needs.
4. Experience
