Consumers require a good agent that listens to you, but also need the lowest rates for car insurance in Cuero.

- Do they regularly work with personal auto policies?
- How many years of experience in personal lines insurance coverages do they have?

Cuero auto insurance agents come in two flavors
When searching for a reputable insurance agent or broker, you must know there are a couple different types of agents to choose from. Cuero agents can either be independent (non-captive) or captive. Both types can do a good job, but it’s good to learn the differences because it can influence buying decisions.
Agency Captives
These agents write business for a single company like Liberty Mutual, Allstate, Farmers Insurance or State Farm. Captives cannot shop your coverage around so always compare other rates. Captive agencies are usually quite knowledgeable on their products and sales techniques which helps them sell insurance even at higher premiums.

Farm Bureau Insurance – 312 E Main St – Cuero, TX 77954 – (361) 275-6177
Independent Agents
Independent insurance agents are not locked into one company so they can insure your vehicles with multiple insurance companies depending on which coverage is best. To transfer your coverage to a different company, an independent agent can move your coverage and you won’t have to switch agencies.
When comparing rates, it’s a good idea to contact at least one independent agent to get the best comparison.

Do online companies have better prices?
Professional insurance agents are important, but Texas car insurance can also be bought directly from online companies. Even companies who sell through the agent channel also permit you to get a quote and buy online. This is something to consider if you are the do-it-yourself type.
If you’re uncomfortable with choosing your own coverages, this is a normal reaction for first-time shoppers. Online companies that allow you to purchase coverage provide customer service to help you decide which coverages are appropriate.
Can you find lower rates online? That is a tough question to answer because there are many components that are calculated into your premium. It’s often assumed that a customer who purchases direcly from an online company saves the cost of an agent commission. But the fact is, online and traditional media advertising are expensive so the rates may be similar to buying from an agent.
Additional detailed information is available at the Texas Department of Insurance website. Visitors are able to file complaints about a company, learn about insurance regulations, and read enforcement actions against agents and companies.
Do the work, save more money
Low-cost car insurance is attainable online as well as from independent agents in Cuero, so compare prices from both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance providers don’t offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
As you prepare to switch companies, make sure you don’t reduce coverage to reduce premium. Too many times, someone sacrificed full coverage to discover at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your focus should be to buy enough coverage at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.
