I totally get why some folks get frustrated, but yeah, it’d be great if everyone were more patient with these questions. Even a simple answer can be helpful.
Agreed, and it’s nice to hear that an independent agency is the best route for shopping around. Insurance is confusing enough without the extra stress!

Saw that, and it was a good reminder of how responses should be helpful, not condescending.

Sorry for any confusion! Just needed some tips, that’s all. I’m in California, if that helps.
Best route is usually an independent agent for multiple quotes, plus checking with direct insurers online. Make sure to compare similar coverage levels.

If you’re in California, keep in mind the state’s minimum coverage limits aren’t always sufficient for newer vehicles. Ask an agent about higher limits if needed.

Are you talking about an independent agent who works with multiple carriers, or a producer that represents the client? I’ve found brokered policies can sometimes be a hassle.

Good point! I meant an agent who isn’t tied to one carrier, like an independent agent. They have more flexibility in what they can offer.
Try searching for independent agencies in your area and give them a call. They’ll take your info and send options. Just a heads up, rates may go up at renewal; it’s the market right now.
