Pick the best car insurance agent in Little Rock for you

When researching local Little Rock agents, you must know there are a couple different agency structures from which to choose. Insurance agencies in Little Rock can either be independent or captive. While both can insure your vehicles, but it’s good to learn the differences because it can influence the type of agent you choose

Independent Agents (or Brokers)

These agents are not required to write business for one company but instead can place your coverage with lots of companies enabling the ability to shop coverage around. To move your coverage to a new company, your agent can switch companies without you having to go to a different agency.

When searching for an agent, you should always contact multiple independent agents to get the best comparison.

Listed below is a short list of independent agents in Little Rock that may be able to provide pricing information.

Captive Insurance Agents

Deciding on a car insurance agent needs to be determined by more than just a low price. Ask your prospective agent these questions:

• Are they full-time agents?
• What will you get paid if your car is a total loss? How is that amount determined?
• Who are their largest clients?
• How long has their agency been in business in Little Rock?
• Is the agent and/or agency licensed to do business in Arkansas?
• Which company do they place the most coverage with?

After getting reasonable responses to any questions you have and an acceptable price quote, most likely you have located an auto insurance agent that can adequately provide auto insurance.

Do online insurance companies have better rates?

Local insurance agents are a valuable resource, but you also have the option of buying directly from online companies. Some car insurance companies that are more known for using agents, also give you the ability to buy direct on their websites. This is something to consider if you don’t want to take the time to contact agents.

If you’re uneasy about choosing your own coverages when shopping online, this is normal but is quickly overcome. Auto insurance companies that require consumers to choose their own coverages provide access to licensed agents for getting the best coverage. Also available are live chat and online tools that you can use before buying.

Does buying online save money? That is a tough question to answer because there are so many things that influence how your policy is priced. Some people think that a customer who purchases direcly from an online company saves money by not requiring a commission. For the majority of companies, however, advertising and marketing take a lot of money so rates may not be all that different from traditional agents.

Much more information about auto insurance in Arkansas is available on the website for the Arkansas Insurance Department through this link. Visitors are able to file complaints about an insurance agent or broker, read consumer alerts, and download brochures.

What is YOUR best insurance company?

Drivers leave their current company for many reasons like high rates after DUI convictions, being labeled a high risk driver, lack of trust in their agent and even denial of a claim. It doesn’t matter what your reason, switching companies is less work than it seems.

Affordable auto insurance can be purchased from both online companies and with local Little Rock insurance agents, so you should compare both in order to have the best chance of saving money. There are still a few companies who do not offer online price quotes and many times these regional insurance providers only sell through independent insurance agents.
