How To Buy Insurance
You can buy auto, home and business insurance from private insurers. When driving a car, buying a home or establishing a business, insurance can give you peace of mind.
Insurance protects you and your property against risk by covering unforeseen damage or mishaps. When securing insurance coverage in the province, you can choose which insurance representative best suits your needs. Options to consider include:
- Buying direct from a private insurance company.
- Purchasing through an insurance agent or broker. They sell products and packages for more than one insurance company.
- For unique or a difficult-to-place risk, a coverage package may be necessary. Retail brokers may work with wholesale brokers who have specialized knowledge and work as intermediaries with insurers and brokers.
