Captive agents only sell the policies of a single insurance carrier, whereas independent agents are authorized to sell policies for any number of carriers with whom they choose to partner. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ada-original-font-size=\"14\" data-ada-original-font-weight=\"400\" data-ada-not-tabbable=\"true\">So, if you buy your auto policy from a captive agent, then you will only be able to select from the policies that carrier offers, and the choice will be limited. However, an independent agent will be able to extensively compare policies from across a wide network of insurers, and help you determine the one that offers you the right coverage at the most competitive price. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ada-original-font-size=\"14\" data-ada-original-font-weight=\"400\" data-ada-not-tabbable=\"true\">In reality, policies from different insurers might look identical in terms of coverage but might actually be priced quite differently. It\u2019s only natural to want a policy that offers you the most value and affordability. If you only work with a captive agent, then you might not be unlocking the full cost perks that you might be able to obtain from another insurer. Your independent agent will therefore be able to guide you in the direction of coverage that will offer you the best of both worlds. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"accordion-6a2feb5d7961a\" class=\"zy-accordion\" data-default-open=\"false\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h3 class=\"accordion-title\"><span class=\"accordion-toggle\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-caret-down\"><\/i><\/span>What is the Point of Having an Insurance Agent? <\/h3>\n<div class=\"accordion-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<p><span data-ada-original-font-size=\"14\" data-ada-original-font-weight=\"400\" data-ada-not-tabbable=\"true\">Auto Insurance Discounters is licensed to sell insurance in four states: Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas.
