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 the broker to objectively compare offers and recommend the best one based on your specific profile.
Is a broker’s service free for the client?
Yes, an insurance broker’s service is entirely free for you. AccesDirect is paid by insurance companies through commissions on policies sold. You benefit from professional, personalized service at no additional cost.
Why use a broker rather than going directly to an insurer?
By contacting an insurer directly, you get a single quote. A broker like AccesDirect obtains several simultaneously and presents you with the best ones. You save time, benefit from a specialized advisor, and gain access to rates you could not obtain on your own.
How many quotes can AccesDirect get for me?
AccesDirect works with more than 20 partner insurers in Quebec. By filling out a single form, you get personalized quotes from several insurers simultaneously. It’s the equivalent of making several phone calls, but in just a few minutes.
Can a broker help me during a claim?
Absolutely, it’s one of the most important benefits. In the event of a claim, your AccesDirect broker guides you through the process, 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 easily change insurers through AccesDirect?
Yes, changing insurers is simple with AccesDirect. We handle the cancellation of your old policy, the issuance of the new one, and we ensure that there is no interruption in coverage. We guide you through the entire transition so you don’t have to worry about administrative details.
How do I know if a broker is certified by the regulator?
The applicable 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 the 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, which allows it to find a solution even for difficult profiles: drivers with infractions, 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 if paid by insurers. Quebec regulations impose strict rules of disclosure and professional ethics. AccesDirect is committed to always presenting you with the best options available based on your needs.
What are the legal obligations of an insurance broker in Quebec?
A broker must comply with the Code of Ethics for insurance representatives, disclose their ties with insurers, and always act in the client’s best interest. They must also keep their knowledge up to date through mandatory continuing education overseen by the applicable regulator.
