Why Work With an International Insurance Advisor

Working with an International Insurance Broker or AgentAn International Insurance Broker Will Save You More Than Just Money

Many international citizens pride themselves on being savvy consumers. They know how to track down the best flight and can always get a great hotel deal. They take satisfaction in doing their own research and not incurring any extra costs along the way. As such, many travelers are surprised to learn that using the services of an international insurance broker can pay off – in more ways than one. Here are five excellent reasons to work with an international insurance agent before your next trip.

Their Loyalty Is To You

An insurance broker’s loyalty is to you. They want you, their customer, to be happy and secure. They aren’t tied to any one company or policy. Insurance advisors work to make sure you have the best possible coverage. They will walk you through the often intimidating policy fine print so you are fully aware of all inclusions and exclusions. You can talk with them freely about any concerns or questions you might have and feel confident that they are on your side.

Brokers/Advisors Support You If You Need It

That personal relationship you develop will support you in times of need.  Insurance is probably the only thing you buy that you hope that you never have to use. But should the worst happen and you need support, your agent will be there for you.  You will be working with a person you know to help you navigate your claim. This is especially important if you are overseas and you feel like your world has been flipped upside down. And, in general, a broker’s knowledge can far outweigh that of a call center agent at an insurance company. If complicated questions arise, you have an expert to walk you through everything you need to know.

You Have More Insurance Choices

When you work with an international insurance advisor, you have the best possible selection of policies to choose from. And if that means mixing and matching policies from different providers, so be it. It’s okay if your expat insurance plan comes from one company but the insurance for your business, your car left in storage, and your beloved camera gear all come from different sources. Instead of having one large policy that you think is “probably” good enough, you’ll have the exact combination of coverage you need for total confidence. If one company doesn’t offer exactly what you want, you can easily find another one that does. Your broker isn’t offended in the least if you want to shake things up or reject several ideas. They aren’t employed by the insurance companies and there’s no pressure for them to sell a particular package.

Plans available include international plans, travel insurance, corporate groups, volunteer organizations, and more.

Someone Else Is Doing Your Research and Legwork

Speaking of all those possible policies and packages… Your insurance agent is a research assistant, mathematician, and detective all rolled into one! You tell your broker what you want, what you need, what you are not sure about, and what price points you are comfortable with. They present you with all your options and help you narrow them down. It is a tremendous time-saver and confidence booster all in one.

Research, Review and Compare your Options

You can always do the research on your own. to that end, we have compiled some excellent resources to get you started.

If you get stuck, have questions, or need assistance understanding your options, contact us and a licensed agent can walk you through the different plans and help you pick the best one for your needs and your budget.

You Will Save Money

A nice added bonus that the prices offered by insurance advisors may very well be lower than those offered directly by insurance companies. While this goes contrary to the idea that things should be cheaper when you cut out the middleman, there’s a good reason for it. Insurance companies give a superior rate to brokers, who are able to pass along the savings to customers. An agent can also help you carve out coverage you do not need or refine your quote to get within your budget.

As columnist Adam Bishop writes: “Why would insurers provide special broker pricing? Simple: because the risk is lower for the insurer. Agents are professionally trained to choose the right policy for their customers, and not to under-insure, therefore avoiding unnecessary claims while maintaining the correct premium income.” And when this built-in cost saving is combined with the value that comes from comparing multiple policies from multiple companies, a prudent traveler can’t lose!
