Should I buy insurance through a broker or go Direct?

A Review by Richard Cayne of Meyer International Ltd Thailand

Even if it doesn’t payout directly, insurance is a very crucial investment.

Whether it’s for your health, home or business, insurance coverage provides us all with a certain peace of mind. The protection of these valuable assets, however, shouldn’t mean that you don’t take extra care when choosing and purchasing your insurance plan.

Regardless of what type of insurance you seek, you immediately have one of two options. You can choose to go through a broker or you can buy your protection directly from an insurance provider. Both options come with their own set of pros and cons that need to be evaluated, especially when considering the type of coverage you require.

Insurance directly from provider

Many people feel that going directly through an insurance company is the best option for receiving coverage.

Because you’ve cut out a third party (the broker) it may feel, on the surface, like you’re getting a better deal. However, this isn’t always the case. An insurance company saves a lot of money on commission fees. Because they are not paying an intermediary, they can make more money while providing less service.

You will have to do serious due diligence on what each company has to offer and what their various policies entail.

And oftentimes, therein lies the problem.

Do you really want to go through the hassle of reviewing every last detail? Are you informed enough to be able to say for certain that you know exactly which option is best for you? Or would you prefer to have someone else do the leg work for you at zero cost?

It also bears noting that you may not receive the personal service you’d like if you deal directly with the company, particularly in times of serious strife.

While insurance is designed to cover your losses in the event of an emergency, the sad reality is that when disaster strikes, the insurance company will likely be less concerned about your loss, grief and pain and far more interested in minimizing their pay-outs.

Insurance through a broker

Of course, getting insurance through the assistance of a broker may add to the overall cost of your insurance plan, but the benefits having the expertise of a professional at your disposal on which insurance plan best suits you is a huge advantage.

In order for your broker to assess the right policy for you, be sure to ask about options and costs. A transparent and straightforward consultation is paramount and it should involve a discussion about all the different options available to you and an in-depth examination of your risks and needs.

Naturally, going directly through an insurance company for small claims and simple procedures can be extremely useful, as it is designed to be. However, should disaster strike, such as death or serious destruction, having a broker working on your behalf provides an extremely useful advantage.

A broker can often expedite the process in a much smoother fashion, as they oftentimes have a previously established professional relationship with the insurance provider.

If you are filing a pay-out for a life insurance policy or find yourself in a situation where you are physically disabled, brokers can be the number one tool at your disposal if you are unable to deal with (either physically or emotionally) the bureaucracy of the insurance companies.

“While it may seem like going directly through your insurance provider is the most advantageous route when purchasing coverage, making sure you choose the proper plan and dealing with major insurance claims at the most inopportune times can be a major hassle that becomes much easier with a broker on your team”, explains Richard Meyer Cayne of Meyer International.
