These partnerships provide you, the client, with a choice in your insurance needs. An independent broker will shop all its carriers to ensure you receive the best coverage for the best price. An agent or direct writer only has access to one market, thus removing the choice for you, the customer. Find more frequently asked questions on our website here: https://conestoga.on.ca/faq/
