Do car insurance brokers charge fees?
My friend recommended using a car insurance broker to find a new insurance policy. I've heard brokers charge fees when helping you find insurance. Is this true?

Some insurance brokers charge fees when switching you to a new
car insurance
policy. Since every state regulates car insurance, there are specific rules and guidelines concerning brokers’ commissions and fees. Some brokers take a commission based on the amount of your premium. This is often about 10%, but it depends on the broker. There could also be a flat fee for their service once you sign an insurance policy.
Before deciding to use a broker, you can ask them what their fees are. You can also research your state’s regulations through its Department of Insurance or Department of Financial Services.
You might be asking why you should use a broker.
