Insurance broker in Quebec

So, what exactly is a broker for insurance purposes? 

Let’s break it down.

Put simply, insurance brokers like KBD work with insurance companies to distribute policies to clients (aka: you). 

We work with you to customize your insurance, advise you on coverage, and find the best rate. 

And some insurance companies only work with insurance brokers to sell their policies.

So, by working with a registered insurance broker, you can get access to their products. 

For example, as a Quebec insurance broker, KBD works with the following companies (and others) which sell specialized coverages exclusively through brokers:

• Lloyd’s: Lloyd’s offers insurance coverage to companies that fall into “off colour” categories. Think construction or lumber and mining operations.  
• CFC Underwriting: CFC provides cyber insurance coverage to IT companies, and other online businesses. If you run a tech start-up, for example, this could be the insurance company for you. 
• Intact: KBD is an Intact Insurance broker offering home, car, and business coverage. 

In short, insurance brokers like KBD make the insurance buying process simple and easy to understand, while giving you access to the perks of a personalized service.

First things first: What kind of insurance do you need? 

Not all brokers offer every type of insurance, so finding the best insurance broker for you will depend on the type of coverage that you’re looking for. 

Case in point: At KBD, we offer home, car and business insurance in Quebec.

Here are a few tips for finding the right insurance broker for you: 

1. Make sure they offer the coverage you need
2. Check out their Google reviews 
3. Ensure that they’re registered in Quebec

This way, when you’re comparing a list of insurance brokers in Quebec, you’ll get a good gauge of whether they’re the right fit for you. 

Call us.

Our insurance clients tend to focus on two things: price and coverage.

And they’re right – those things are important!

Now, whether you’re a home, car or commercial insurance client (or all three), there are a few questions you should ask your insurance broker.  

With these questions, you can save money and make sure that you’re properly insured.

1. What exactly am I covered for?
2. What’s the price of my coverage?
3. How much is my deductible?

If you know the answers to these questions, there will be no surprises if you end up having to make an insurance claim (touch wood!).

It depends on what you’re looking for! 

Remember: Insurance is a personalized service, so the best insurance broker for your friend might not be the right fit for you. 

Why? Because not all brokers offer every type of insurance. 

BUT, if you’re looking for the best insurance in Quebec, here’s a pro tip:

Google reviews are a good place to start when finding the best insurance providers to work with. 

That’s because you can get an inside look at customer satisfaction rates from broker to broker. 

And for the record, KBD has over 600 5-star reviews on Google.

That depends – when the market fluctuates, so do insurance rates. 

So insurance companies are constantly adjusting their prices to match. 

Considering this, the “cheapest” insurance company is always changing. 

BUT, if you’re looking for cheap insurance in Quebec, working with a broker does have its advantages.  

Here are a few of the perks of working with a Quebec insurance broker like KBD:

• Access to quotes from multiple companies
• Assistance with making claims
• They shop the market for you & find the best rate

That said, your insurance broker can provide you with multiple quotes from different companies at once. 

So, by working with an insurance broker, you can easily find the cheapest rate for you at any given time.

Not going to lie, we tend to think that working with an insurance broker is the best choice.

Having said that – we’re all about being objective.

Depending on your situation, there are a few factors that you might consider to be a downside. 

Here are some of the pros and cons of working with an insurance broker:

Advantages 

• Saves time & money: A broker offers access to multiple insurance companies at once, so you don’t have to shop around yourself. 
• Personalized service: If you have tricky insurance requirements, a broker can offer expert advice. 
• Dedicated assistance: You get to speak with the same person every time – which means that you don’t have to rehash your situation each time you call. 

Disadvantages 

• Some brokers charge fees: This varies from broker to broker – but it’s something to watch out for. KBD only charges broker fees to commercial clients. 
• They don’t specialize in just one product: Unlike direct insurance agents, brokers work with multiple companies, so they might not have as in-depth knowledge of a particular product.
