As town folks, my parents still prefer the old fashion way of comparing quotes via an automobile insurance broker. What is the difference between a car insurance agent and an automobile car insurance broker in Amarillo Texas anyway?

In the past, you literally have to call every agent in the phone book to get an automobile insurance quote in Amarillo Texas. But in today’s technology, the Internet can help you and your parents get car insurance rates in seconds and even companies all at once. But if your parents still prefer to get quotes thru an automobile car insurance broker, then try to meet halfway. You may still check online, compare quotes and once you find a car insurance company, you can also check if they have an agent or a broker -then you set an appointment for your parents.
You asked about the difference between a car insurance agent and an automobile car insurance broker in Amarillo Texas. Well, in many aspects, the two terms both mean a person or company that markets and sells insurance to the public. But to put it simply, a car insurance agent is a person who is either employed by or is acting on behalf of a car insurance company. An automobile insurance broker on the other hand, is an independent liaison who uses his expertise in the field of car insurance to set up a beneficial agreement between an insurance company and the prospect customer.
Others think that a car insurance agent may be biased to the insurance company that he represents, but is also inclined to know more about the product that he is selling than an automobile insurance broker who represents several insurance companies. But the reality is; both agents and brokers are paid on commission by the insurance company for each month that their clients remain insured. So whether you choose an agent or a broker, what’s important is that your parents get the best car insurance quotes available.
Reader’s Question:
I was required to go to a DUI school. After I completed this do I need to give the certificate of completion to my car insurance provider? Will this lower my car insurance premium?

If you are required to go to DUI school or was required to take driving course due to your driving under the influence DUI conviction, then I do not think this will help to lower your car insurance premium. Typically, going to DUI school after conviction is part of the penalties that is ordered by the court. This depends on which state are you in.
States differ on their laws with regards to DUI school. Most states would require someone to take or attend DUI class as part of their reinstatement process of their drivers license. Some states would require anyone with DUI conviction to attend DUI class.
I suggest that you speak with your current car insurance agent if they will need you to provide them the certificate of completion once you finished the DUI class. I do not think that attending DUI class would lower your car insurance rate since it was required by the state as part of the penalty for your DUI conviction. If you want to lower your car insurance premium, you may contact your car insurance company and what discounts may be available to you.
