There are so many large insurance companies to choose from. However, when you purchase insurance through a big corporation, you may miss out on the advantages of working with an independent insurance agent. Here’s how working with an independent insurance agent can save you time and money.
Prompt Customer Service
Getting a human on the phone can be difficult when you work with a large insurance company. You call the customer service number, press various numbers, and get transferred to many different automated voices. When you work with an independent insurance agent, you have a much better opportunity to talk to a real person. Most of the time, you’ll even be able to get questions answered within hours. With a large insurance company, you could be waiting days for a return call or email. Superior customer service saves you so much time when dealing with insurance claims.
Personalized Insurance Policy Reviews
Unlike large insurance companies with sales quotas to fill, an independent insurance agent has your needs in mind and can get you coverage from many different companies. They’re much better suited to talk to you about your personal needs and sort through many different options to get you the proper coverage. These reviews will help identify the adequate coverage you need to ensure you aren’t paying too much. Furthermore, they can shop around for this adequate coverage to get you the best rate possible.
Easy Coverage Changes
If your life is changing, your insurance needs are changing as well. When you work with an independent insurance agent, they’ll be more in tune with your changing needs and alert you when you need to update your insurance policy. This could save you a lot of money in the long run. If you don’t update your policy when necessary, then you may not have the right amount of coverage and could be forced to pay for losses on your own.
