What a Broker Offers Beyond a Quote
Brokers act as advocates, not product sellers. They assess your driving history, vehicle type, and lifestyle to recommend coverage that balances protection and price. They also handle claims coordination, reducing paperwork for you.
Key Qualities to Look For
Experience in Ontario's insurance market, a strong network of carriers, and transparent fee structures are non‑negotiable. Check that the broker holds the appropriate licence and has no history of complaints with the Insurance Bureau of Canada.
Questions to Ask Before You Commit
- What carriers do you work with, and why?
- How do you determine my premium?
- What is your commission structure?
- Can you show me a sample comparison of coverage options?
