FAQs
What is an independent insurance agent?
Independent agents work with multiple insurance companies, not just one. That lets us compare options to find the best coverage, price, and fit for you.
How is a captive agent different?
Captive agents represent only one insurer. Independent agents partner with several carriers, so we can shop and compare to help you get the right value.
What information do I need to start a quote?
Click Start My Quote, enter your details, and we’ll compare rates and coverage.
Do independent agents cost more?
No. Our compensation is built into the policy by the carrier, and you don’t pay extra for using an independent agent. In many cases, we save you money by comparing quotes and bundling home & auto.
Can you compare quotes from multiple companies?
Yes. We’ll gather your details once, then shop your rates and coverage from multiple top-rated insurers.
Can you help me bundle home & auto?
Yes—bundling often reduces your overall premium and simplifies billing, but not always. We look at all scenarios to see how to help you best - including “unbundling.”
