Deciding on an insurance agent needs to be determined by more than just the premium amount. These are valid questions to ask:
- Does the agency have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau?
- Are they properly licensed to sell insurance in South Dakota?
- If you have an accident, are you able to get your vehicle repaired at the shop of your choice?
- Are glass claims handled on-site or do you have to take your vehicle to a repair shop?
- How long has their agency been in business in Mobridge?
After receiving satisfactory answers to all your questions and a low price estimate, you may have just found a car insurance agent that meets your needs to adequately provide auto insurance.
Do online insurance companies save me money?
Insurance agents can be invaluable at times, but you also have the option of buying direct from companies that only sell online. Some companies who employ agents also let you buy direct on their websites, and consumers should do that if the lowest rate is your goal.
If you’re apprehensive about not having an agent to talk to when buying direct, don’t sweat it. Insurance companies that allow you to purchase coverage provide options for getting advice on proper coverages.
Are online rates lower? The answer is complex because there are so many things that are calculated into your premium. It’s logical to say that shopping online for auto insurance saves the cost of an agent commission. For most companies selling online, however, it’s expensive to advertise so there may not be significant savings.
If you just want to find lower premiums, the most effective way to determine who has the best deal, local agents or online insurance companies, is comparing prices for both of them. Lots of times people will get different prices comparing agents to online prices from the exact same provider.
In conclusion
As you prepare to switch companies, don’t be tempted to buy less coverage just to save a little money. Too many times, an insured dropped collision coverage only to discover later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. The ultimate goal is to purchase plenty of coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
Drivers switch companies for a number of reasons such as poor customer service, extreme rates for teen drivers, being labeled a high risk driver or denial of a claim. Whatever your reason, finding the right auto insurance provider is less work than it seems.
