How to Choose the Best Insurance Agencies in NY
3
  • One of the most overwhelming things is to
    purchase insurance from NY insurance agencies.
    Conditions, definitions, exclusions,
    endorsements, and coverages can give you a
    headache. Insurance may not be the first thing to
    pop on peoples minds, but imagine how your life
    will be without it.
  • Imagine losing your home or business to a fire or
    theft and you have no insurance to help you get
    everything back to track.
  • If you ever lose your home, car, or business, you
    would immediately want to know the name of your
    insurance company, agent, and what they can do to
    make your situation better.
  • So, clearly, its crucial to purchase coverage
    from the best NY insurance agencies. But, how do
    you find them?
  • Here are the considerations to make

4
1. Insurance Company vs. Independent Agent
  • In New York, we have independent agents and
    insurance companies. The former sell their own
    products as well products for other companies. An
    independent agents job is to find the right
    insurance company that suits your needs.
  • An independent agent doesnt have exclusive
    relationship with a single insurance company.
    These agents provide a wide array of products
    from various insurance companies. They can also
    guide you on difference insurance products,
    pricing, and coverages.
  • Independent agents dont usually work for an
    individual insurance firm. Instead, they always
    work for their clients and represent them, which
    can make a huge difference during claim time.

5
  • Insurance companies, on the other hand, partner
    with independent agents before and after a policy
    is sold. The company
  • Reviews the coverage suggested by the independent
    agent and uses that information to determine
    premium.
  • Handles all your insurance payments
  • Sends you a copy of the insurance policy through
    mail
  • Adjusts your policy according to the agents
    recommendations, or because of a particular
    lifestyle change, such as buying a safer vehicle.
  • Provides a business with strategies for
    preventing losses
  • Pays claims when losses occur

2. The Reputation or History of the Company
  • Do some research about the insurance provider you
    are interested in. Check out their websites to
    learn
  • The companys years of experience in business
  • Mission, vision, and core values
  • Types of insurance products they sell
  • Community involvement
  • The companys leadership
  • You may not find a company that has only positive
    reviews. If the information on their site leaves
    you with unanswered questions or makes you
    uncomfortable, research other companies. As with
    any purchasing decision, you need to be
    comfortable with the decision.

3. The Coverage of NY Insurance Agencies
  • Consider an insurance company that offers
    suitable coverage for your business or personal
    needs. If you find a company that can provide you
    with more than one coverage, that would be great
    because it will save you tons of time looking for
    and dealing with other NY insurance agencies.

4. Pricing
  • Pricing should not be the only factor to guide
    you when searching for insurance companies on
    Long Island or anywhere else in New York. Pricing
    differs among insurance companies for different
    reasons.
  • A lower price might mean getting less coverage,
    which means should a loss occur, youll have to
    get more from your pocket to fix it. Lower prices
    may also mean that the insurance provider has
    penetrated a new market, and so they may not have
    similar experience as other insurers. Be sure to
    talk to your insurance agent regarding the price
    variations.

5. Ease of Doing Business
  • You should know how to interact with the
    insurance provider. The interactions can include
  • 24/7 customer support
  • Policy changes
  • Online bill pay
  • Billing questions
  • Social media platforms
  • Online claim reporting

10
6. Discounts
  • Most insurance agencies offer discounts. When
    discussing about a specific coverage with your
    agent, find out whether there are discounts to
    benefit from. You can save a lot of money by
    purchasing a policy that has a discount.
  • Find out whether the carrier provides a discount
    is you take multiple policies. If you have your
    homeowners insurance, motorcycle insurance, life
    insurance, and car insurance in one place, it can
    save you in terms of premiums if the carrier
    provides such a discount.

7. Financial Strength
  • The insurance companys financial strength is
    crucial when you determining whether its a good
    fit for your personal or business needs. Insurers
    should have the necessary assets so they can pay
    out claims. So, you should ask the company
    representative about the assets they have.

12
8. Service Model
  • New York insurance agencies can sell insurance
    services to clients directly or via a network.
    Thats why its important to understand the
    companys service model so you can make the right
    decision.
  • For instance, you should find out details about
  • How the company handles claims
  • The available customer support
  • Who handles the claim? Is it the companys
    employee or an external claims adjuster?

13
9. Payment Plans
  • Some agencies have flexible payment plans, such
    as monthly, quarterly, yearly or semi-annually.
    Find out how the insurer accepts payments.
  • While some companies offer discounts for full,
    upfront payment, others may give a discount on
    automatic withdrawals.

    agency or a provider anywhere in New York, you

    and might span for several years. Thus, you want
    to ensure you are comfortable before signing any
    documents.
