Brokers are best

A blogger on Twitter has given brokers’ reputation a boost by proclaiming that they are “the best” when it comes to finding the pick of the insurance deals.

The internet surfer tried several comparison sites and direct insurers to find a quote for his car insurance, but was unable to find anything that matched the great deal that his broker unearthed.

The driver, acknowledging the price vs quality argument, decided to pay slightly more for his policy in return for extra benefits that were included as standard. These included a lower excess figure and a replacement car.
