Top 7 Things To Look For When Buying Insurance

So you’re ready to shop for insurance and are hoping for a great deal.  But did you know that there are a few things to look for that are much more important than the price of the policy when buying insurance?  In fact, don’t buy your next policy until you look for these seven things.

#1 – A Top-Rated Insurance Company

You want an insurance company that will be around if you have a claim.  Don’t choose a company that you’ve never heard of with a price that seems too good to be true! If you aren’t familiar with the company your agent is recommending, ask for a little more information.  Find out what they are rated in Washington state and how long they’ve been around.

#2 – Choose a LOCAL agency!

While all the commercials on TV will tell you to call a 1-800 number for a quote, it’s usually not a great idea.  When you buy insurance from a local agency it gives the same great policies (from the same companies!) but allows you to deal with one person on a regular basis. It’s nice to have a local agent who you can go visit when needed.

#3 – Choose an agency that offers a variety of policies.

Keeping your insurance with one agency makes it MUCH easier when you have a claim.  Plus you can qualify for huge multiple policy discountsSAV-ON Insurance Agencies can take care of all your needs in one local location.

#4 – After-Hours Support

What if you have storm damage in the middle of the night?  Do you want to wait until tomorrow to get assistance?  Look for an agency that offers after-hours support!  Many local agencies will provide you with 24/7 claim assistance numbers.  But make sure to ask for the information and keep it in your cell phone.

#5 – Choose an agency that’s EASY to contact!

You don’t want to have to chase your agent down every time you need something.  Ask if the agency is available by email, text, online and phone while doing your shopping.

#6 – Do they offer annual reviews?

Things change, especially when it comes to insurance!  You want an agency that will regularly meet with you to review your coverage and make sure you’re protected.  Ask about their review procedures and how they make sure there aren’t any gaps in your protection.

#7 – Excellent Customer Service

When it comes down to it, this is the most important!  When buying insurance, choose an agency that wants your business and wants to give you the best possible service!
