When thinking about getting insurance, the easiest way to this is probably via an insurance broker. Although it proved to be easy, the question remains whether it is efficient in terms of money and time.

An insurance broker is an independent intermediary who works on your behalf to find the best insurance policy from a range of insurers. In some cases an intermediary prefers to be known as an "agent" or "consultant".

If this is the case with your broker, they may only represent a couple of companies and not the whole spectrum. When this happen, you will have to check whether they found the best option that is available on the market for you or only the best option from the few companies they are representing.

Another type of broker is the agent that works for a particular company. He can only sell policies from that company. By using a direct agent is even more dangerous than using a consultant for a couple of companies. A direct agent doesn't compare policies from different insurers, but only sells the policy from his or her company that suits your portfolio best. The possibility exists that you can find a policy which delivers the same, but for much cheaper, else where.

No matter what type of insurance broker you decide to use, they are compelled to tell you exactly who they represent and what sort of intermediary they are.

Make sure you use an insurance broker who understands your needs and offers good value for your money and desires.
