Working with a broker means having an insurance expert by your side every step of the way. From explaining complicated industry jargon to comparing policies on your behalf, working with a broker is easy, convenient, and can even save you money. We outline a few reasons that you should consider working with a Port Colbourne insurance broker below:
- Insurance brokers allow customers the chance to get advice from an insurance professional; someone who knows the ins and outs of the industry and can provide them with the best advice.
- Insurance brokers offer a level of convenience that is unmatched by an insurance agent. An insurance broker will research different insurance products to find the one that best suits your needs, rather than offering one single solution. From there, they can help you purchase your preferred policy.
- Insurance brokers are known for providing a top-notch customer service experience. Since they work independently of insurance companies, they are able to focus solely on the customer’s needs.
What types of insurance can a Port Colbourne insurance broker help you find?
The insurance brokers at BrokerLink Port Colbourne can help you find a wide array of commercial insurance, home insurance, and car insurance solutions:
Commercial insurance
Business insurance in Ontario is important. BrokerLink understands this, which is why we take commercial insurance seriously. We know that no two businesses are the same, so your dedicated BrokerLink insurance advisor will take the time to learn about what makes your business unique. From there, they will start searching for a policy that contains the necessary coverage for your business. Whether you want a standard policy featuring commercial property and commercial general liability insurance, or something a little more comprehensive (e.g. pollution liability, abuse liability, crime insurance, umbrella liability insurance, etc.), we will find it for you. When you choose to work with a Port Colbourne insurance representative from BrokerLink, your business is in good hands.

Home insurance
The truth is that owning a piece of real estate, such as a home, can be risky. It makes you financially vulnerable, especially if something were to happen to your home. Luckily, Port Colbourne home insurance can help protect you from the financial ramifications of damages relating to your home. A BrokerLink insurance advisor can help you find a policy featuring everything from dwelling coverage and personal liability coverage to sewer backup coverage, overland water coverage, equipment breakdown coverage, and more. Even better, we have property insurance policies to suit all Port Colbourne residents, including vacation home insurance, rental property insurance, high-value home insurance, tenant’s insurance, and of course, standard homeowner’s insurance.
Home insurance for flood-prone cities
As a port city, buildings in Port Colbourne may be prone to flooding. For this reason, making sure your Port Colbourne home insurance policy features flooding coverage is important. A BrokerLink insurance advisor can offer a wide range of home flooding prevention tips, including suggestions as to which types of additional coverage may be worth including with your plan (e.g. sewer backup coverage, overland water coverage, and more). We can also provide general home protection tips to help keep your home safe in other circumstances, such as while you are away on vacation.

Car insurance
Car insurance is another type of insurance that a Port Colbourne insurance broker can help you find. Many drivers think that because Port Colbourne car insurance is compulsory, a great policy is easy to find. But this isn’t the case. Finding a car insurance policy that offers comprehensive coverage at an affordable price is no easy feat, unless you choose to enlist the help of an insurance broker. An insurance broker at BrokerLink can provide you with a free car insurance estimate, give you tips on how to save money on an auto insurance plan, and explain the benefits of additional coverage.

Do I need to buy insurance in Port Colbourne?
Some types of insurance are mandatory in Port Colbourne, such as car insurance, which is mandated by the government. Home insurance may also be required in some situations. However, it is not mandated by the government. Rather, it may be required by your landlord, mortgage lender, or bank. Purchasing business insurance can also be required of certain professions or industries. That said, even in situations where home or business insurance is not required, it is generally recommended. Why? Due to the financial protection it offers. Owning a home and running a business both come with risks, and insurance can help you protect against them. To learn more about the benefits of purchasing insurance for your car, home, or business, get in touch with BrokerLink Port Colbourne today.
Find affordable Port Colbourne insurance with help from an insurance broker
One of the best services that insurance brokers provide is helping customers save money on insurance. BrokerLink is on a mission to ensure no Port Colbourne resident ever spends more than they have to on insurance again. We do this by researching and comparing insurance policies, unlocking discounts for you, and letting you in on some of our best money-saving tips. To start saving and help you find an affordable policy as soon as possible, the BrokerLink Port Colbourne team has put together the following list of tips:
Contact a Port Colbourne insurance broker when you need a new policy
The first step to finding affordable insurance in Port Colbourne is to get in touch with an insurance broker at BrokerLink. Our insurance brokers are fully licenced and have years of experience finding great policies at great rates for our customers. Plus, we know all about the discounts that insurance brokers are willing to offer customers and will ensure you take advantage of them.
Combine insurance policies
Bundling insurance policies is a great option if you want to save money on Port Colbourne insurance. Many insurance companies provide discounts (sometimes as high as 15% per policy) to customers that buy more than one insurance product from them. The best part is that the insurance you buy doesn’t even need to be the same kind. If you want to buy two car insurance policies, you can. However, you could also buy one car insurance policy and one home insurance policy or a policy for your leisure vehicle and a policy for your business. The choice is yours! Contact BrokerLink to learn more about bundling insurance policies and the conditions that may apply.
Reconsider insurance coverage each year
Don’t get complacent. Regularly reviewing your insurance coverage can help you save money on insurance. How? The more often you review your policy, the more aware you will be of which coverages are no longer serving you. For example, when you bought a new car and purchased an auto insurance plan for it, comprehensive coverage may have made sense. But a decade later if you’re driving the same car, which is now far less valuable, comprehensive coverage may no longer be necessary. If you fail to review your coverage regularly (at least every time your policy is up for renewal), you might continue paying for something you don’t need. But if you re-evaluate your policy, especially if you do so with the help of a broker, you can update your coverage so that it always aligns with your needs and budget.
Install security systems in your vehicle, home, or workplace
Insurance companies love when customers take extra steps to ensure the safety of their cars, homes, or workplaces. Since theft is a common concern, installing a security system or anti-theft device can make you eligible for an insurance discount. However, most insurance companies have specific conditions that must be met to qualify for such discounts. Make sure you read the fine print to confirm which types of devices will qualify, or contact a BrokerLink insurance advisor who can explain the conditions to you.
Buy a house without a mortgage or pay it off quickly
Did you know that some insurers offer discounts to homeowners that are mortgage-free? It’s true. This means that if you want to save money on a Port Colbourne property insurance policy, you can do so by buying a house without a mortgage or paying off your mortgage as quickly as possible. Since the former option may not be available to most people, we recommend the latter. As soon as your mortgage is paid off, be sure to notify your insurance broker or agent and you may qualify for a cheaper rate come renewal time.
Choose a higher policy deductible
Agreeing to pay a higher deductible is one way to get a more affordable insurance rate. Increasing a deductible usually results in a lower premium because insurance companies recognize the financial responsibility you are taking on. If a cheaper Port Colbourne insurance policy is a top priority and you have the means to pay a larger sum of money in the event of a claim, then raising your deductible can be a smart choice.
Keep transaction fees to a minimum and pay for your insurance plan yearly
We understand that the option to pay for an insurance policy monthly instead of annually probably seems more enticing. However, in the long run, you could end up paying more if you choose to pay in monthly installments. This is because of the transaction fees that many insurance companies tack on to customer payments. So before you decide to pay for your plan monthly, ask your insurer about any applicable fees. If the fees are hefty, try to pay for your policy upfront instead.
