What is the difference between a broker and an insurance agent?
An insurance agent represents a single company and can only offer you its products. A broker like AccesDirect is independent and represents many different insurers. This independence allows them to objectively compare offers and recommend the best one according to your specific profile.
Is the service of a broker free for the client?
Yes, the service of an insurance broker is completely free for you. AccesDirect is compensated by insurance companies in the form of commissions on the policies sold. You benefit from a professional and personalized service with no additional fees.
Why use a broker instead of going directly to an insurer?
By contacting an insurer directly, you get one quote. A broker like AccesDirect obtains several simultaneously and presents you with the best ones. You save time, benefit from a specialized advisor, and have access to rates you could not obtain on your own.
How many quotes can AccesDirect obtain for me?
AccesDirect works with over 20 partner insurers in Quebec. By completing a single form, you receive personalized quotes from multiple insurers simultaneously. It’s equivalent to making several phone calls, but in just a few minutes.
Can a broker help me with a claim?
Absolutely, this is one of the most important advantages. In the event of a claim, your AccesDirect broker guides you through your steps, communicates with the insurer on your behalf, and ensures that your rights are respected. Having a professional in your corner during a claim can make a big difference.
Can I change insurers easily through AccesDirect?
Yes, changing insurers is simple with AccesDirect. We manage the cancellation of your old policy, the issuance of your new one, and ensure there is no interruption in coverage. We guide you through the entire transition without you having to worry about administrative details.
How do I know if a broker is certified by the regulator?
The regulator publishes a public registry of certified insurance brokers and agents in Quebec. AccesDirect is a partner broker, which guarantees that our advisors have the required qualifications and comply with professional standards established by law.
Can a broker help me if I have a difficult insurance profile?
This is precisely where a broker shines. AccesDirect has access to non-standard markets (Pafco, Jevco, Echelon) as well as standard markets, allowing it to find a solution even for difficult profiles: drivers with violations, atypical homes, or people whose policy has been cancelled.
Can there be a conflict of interest with a broker?
A partner broker has a legal obligation to act in your interest, even though they are compensated by insurers. Quebec regulations impose strict rules of disclosure and professional ethics. AccesDirect is committed to always presenting you with the best options available according to your needs.
What are the legal obligations of an insurance broker in Quebec?
A broker must be certified, comply with the Code of Ethics for insurance representatives, disclose their relationships with insurers, and always act in the best interest of the client. They must also keep their knowledge current through mandatory continuing education supervised by the applicable regulator.
