And you start wondering if you’re paying too much for coverage that you don’t need. Or if you could be geng a beer rate for the coverage you actually do need. You know there must be something beer available on the insurance marketplace, something more aordable. Because what you’re currently paying just seems like too much. Before you know it, you nd yourself looking for new car insurance. And to get it, you know that you’re going to have to go through someone else for your insurance. Specically, you need a responsive, knowledgeable expert who can oer you very cheap car insurance, no deposit necessary. The only problem is how to nd such an insurance expert. Aer all, you don’t want to be stuck with an insurance agent who can’t get you a more aordable rate. And nding car insurance without an expert’s help seems like too daunng of a task. The good news is, there is a fairly straighorward soluon to nding more aordable NC car insurance. This blog post will reveal what that is. But rst, here are some misconcepons to be aware of when you’re looking for the cheapest car insurance in North Carolina. Car Insurance Misconcepons At MazProtects, we’ve heard our share of misconcepons that people have when it comes to nding the cheapest rate possible on their NC car insurance. Here are a few commonly held misconcepons, along with their corresponding truths. Misconcepon: “Cheapest” is another way of saying, “lowest coverage” Truth: You can get a great rate while sll being adequately covered It’s understandable if you confuse “cheap insurance” with “low - coverage insurance,” but the two aren’t the same. For instance, we have helped numerous North Carolinians feel great about both the rate they’re geng and the coverage their car insurance provides. Misconcepon: Insurance agents and insurance brokers are the same Truth: They aren’t the same Allow us to break down why this is. Typically, when people think of a car insurance agent, they’re really thinking of a capve agent. These are the agents that work for most of the big insurance companies you commonly see adversed. Capve agents can only sell car insurance from one company (i.e., the insurance carrier). This means they are limited to oering only the plans and rates that the insurance carrier for whom they work provides. Insurance brokers, however, can sell car insurance from a host of insurance carriers. This means they are not nearly as limited as capve agents when it comes to the car insurance plans and rates that they can oer you. This gives them more freedom to he lp you nd quality car insurance at a more aordable rate. Misconcepon: The only way to get a great rate is to go with the most well - known insurance agency Truth: Going with a well - known insurance agency doesn’t mean you’re going to get the best rate The big, well - known insurance agencies tend to be capve insurance companies. These companies perpetuate the misconcepon that they, and they alone, can provide you the best rate. And many people believe them. Because, these companies oen spend massive amounts on markeng campaigns that set them up as the cheapest car insurance opon. But in reality, since they are capve insurance companies, they can only oer rates and plans from one carrier – their own. They can’t present you with the same amount of insurance opons that brokers can. Because insurance brokers have access to more carriers, they are oen able to present a less expensive insurance plan than capve agents. And, as you may have guessed, these insurance brokers are oen not as well - known. Sll, that doesn’t mean they can’t provide you a great rate. You just have to know which insurance broker to call (hint: the number is 919 - 443 - 3300, but we’ll get into that again later in this post). The soluon to nding the cheapest car insurance in North Carolina. The problem with how to nd the most aordable car insurance in NC has a simple soluon: Don’t go with a capve agent. Instead, go with an independent insurance broker. This will give you the greatest chance of nding the most aordable car insurance in NC. Is it really that simple? Does the soluon for aordable car insurance lie primarily in going with an independent insurance broker as opposed to a capve agent? Yes, and yes. But what if you’re a parent of a 16 - year - old who is looking for the cheapest car insurance in NC for new drivers? The soluon is the same: Work with an independent insurance broker. Is the soluon sll the same if you’re looking for the cheapest car insurance in North Carolina for seniors? Yes. Here are some reasons why the soluon remains the same in each of these cases͙ Brokers have more insurance carrier opons As an independent broker, we have access to many local and naonal car insurance carriers. More opons mean you have a higher likelihood of nding car insurance that adequately covers you at a rate you can aord. If you work with a capve agent, you w on’t know the opons available to you, since they work with only one carrier. Brokers will shop around for you Before we can help you nd a more aordable car insurance plan, we need to collect your car insurance prole informaon. Insurance carriers use the informaon in this prole to evaluate the risk involved with insuring you and your vehicle. It include s informaon such as your age, locaon, past accidents, credit history, and more. If you’ve ever been insured, you have this type of prole. And if so, we can get your prole from your previous insurance company. Once we have your prole, we’ll shop it around to dierent car insurance carriers. It’s important to have a broker who can go into the insurance marketplace with your specic insurance prole and shop it around without charging you for doing so. While we can’t say that all independent brokers will do this without a fee, you should know that we won’t charge you for this. And since we’ll be doing the insurance carrier shopping for you, you won’t need to do it on your own. Brokers help you avoid common problems There are two common problems you can run into if you go with a capve agent or shop for an insurance policy on your own: You end up with coverage you don’t need at a price you can’t aord. You end up with an aordable car insurance rate without the proper coverage. To prevent these outcomes from happening, we can help you determine how much insurance coverage you need. This in turn allows us to: Help you nd a plan that meets your budget and isn’t charging you for unnecessary coverage Help you nd a plan that provides adequate coverage at an aordable price By taking the me to learn about your specic car insurance situaon, our brokers serve as the bridge between aordability and proper coverage. Brokers can help you maintain aordable rates Our system is connually scanning your policy to make sure you keep geng a great rate. That means that once we nd an aordable plan for you, if your insurance rates go up, we can nd another carrier that lets you keep the same rates. If rates go up with a capve agent, then you’re stuck. One of our clients, James, experienced the benets of this rst - hand. Here’s what he wrote: “All I have to say is thank you. Times are geng ght, and I got a random call that I did not think I was going to get. It was Shannon [from MazProtects] le ng me know my rates were going up. She did a re - shop and saved me money. Thank you and keep up the great work.” Brokers are (typically) local While not all brokers are necessarily located in your state, ours are. And since we all live in NC, we can help you get a beer rate on your North Carolina car insurance. Here are some reasons why: • We can quickly respond to any new NC legislaon or safety regulaons that might aect your insurance rates.

By having a familiarity with local crime stascs, environmental factors, and accident rates, our brokers are able to give a more accurate assessment of the level of risk that comes with insuri ng you and your vehicle.

At mes, local insurance companies will oer cost - saving discounts and oers. Since we have relaonships with these local insurers, we somemes nd out about these before naonal insurance agencies.

And since we know the local market demand, we can oen help you get a beer quote than naonal insurance agencies.
