Buying insurance online can be quick for simple needs. A local insurance agent adds value by comparing several companies, explaining coverage in plain language, catching gaps between policies and helping you when you file a claim, generally at no extra cost because agents are paid by the insurance companies.
What you get with a local agent
- Comparison: an agency that works with several carriers can quote more than one company for you
- Advice: someone who asks what you own and what you could lose, then recommends limits
- Coordination: auto, home, umbrella, boat and business policies lined up so nothing falls through the cracks
- Claims help: a person in your corner who knows how the process works
- Continuity: the same people year after year who know your history
When online works fine
If you have one car, rent an apartment and want basic coverage, buying online can be perfectly reasonable. The value of an agent grows with complexity: a home, teen drivers, a boat, rental properties, a business, or anything unusual.
Does it cost more?
Generally no. Insurance premiums are set by the insurance company and are typically the same whether you buy directly or through an agent.
