Advantages of using a broker
Using a broker over the convenience of comparison websites has many advantages for the customer, so don’t be fooled by the offer of a free gift.
Comparison sites lure us into thinking we have gotten a great deal by supposedly highlighting the best available on the market. However, often this is not the case because some insurances are not listed on the site and customers are paying a commission as high as 24% on average.
So what are you paying for?
Comparison sites offer little advice on what is best for you and can leave you paying for something you don’t need or even worse, paying and not getting the right cover. Before you decide to renew or look at a comparison site again for insurance, you may want to learn about the pros of using a broker.
