Evaluate Your Answers
If you answered “D” to all of the above questions, congratulations. You have a basic understanding of the different ways you can shop for local car insurance. You understand that you have multiple options for purchasing car insurance in Wisconsin, but that not all options are the same. You also know that only independent insurance agents can offer you the combined level of service and selection you want from an insurance provider.
If you missed one or more answers…
If you didn’t get all of the answers right, it means you likely have an opportunity to get broader coverage, save money, or both.
As a driver, you have three different options when purchasing local car insurance:
- Buying direct online
- Purchasing coverage through an insurance company agent
- Working with an independent agent.
Buying direct leaves you with no one to talk to when you have questions or concerns, whereas purchasing through a company agent leaves you with very limited options for your coverage. An independent agent, however, provides you with service and advice, as well as access to a wide range of coverage options from multiple leading Wisconsin insurers.
