Have you ever tried to shop for insurance online with a national provider but found yourself stumped when it came to choosing the best coverage options? If so, you aren’t the only one! In fact, while many people think that buying insurance directly from a big provider is simple, they may be missing out on important coverage options and savings as well.
You could choose instead to work with a captive agent who works closely with one single provider and has plenty of knowledge about the coverage options they provide. But better still is to explore your insurance options with an independent insurance agency. Because they aren’t directly tied to one provider and have access to dozens – if not hundreds – of providers nationwide, they can get you a great policy at an affordable price.
Top 4 Reasons to Use an Independent Insurance Agent
1. You’ve Got Choices
Independent agents make it easy to find the right level of insurance protection at a price that fits in with your budget. This is because they typically represent a number of different insurance providers that offer a wide range of coverage options and different price points as well. So instead of spending days or weeks comparing quotes all over the internet, your independent agent can find you the best prices possible by utilizing their knowledge, experience, and connections.
2. Experience
Independent agents not only work with many different insurance companies but they have a ton of experience navigating the specific insurance requirements locally here in Illinois. This means that they can assess your individual needs, make recommendations based off of the best insurance companies and include your budgetary concerns as well. Unsure of which level of insurance protection you need? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
