Live in Southend and looking for a good deal on your car insurance?

Although we live in the Information Technology age, that doesn’t necessarily mean that local insurance expertise is irrelevant.

At Alan Blunden Motor Insurance Brokers, we have over 60 years of expertise in the insurance markets and that extensive knowledge is not something that can be replaced by technology alone.

Here are just a few reasons why, if you are searching for suitable and cost-effective motor insurance in Southend and the surrounding area, you may wish to consider seeking our assistance:

• some people prefer the psychological comfort of knowing that they are dealing with someone in the local area rather than the other end of the country or in some cases, perhaps even on the other side of the planet!  There aren’t going to be issues with time zone differences or the people you are trying to deal with not having a clue about your postal code area and so on;
• there is a lot to be said for the personalised service that typically comes with dealing locally verses the idea of being a faceless name on an internet database containing perhaps 250,000 other such equally faceless customer names;
• the concept of the deal is one that typically exists when dealing with local brokers rather than giant trans-national or multi-national organisations. For example, we offer a special deal for customers living within 25 miles of Southend, which means we will match any other quotation you have received on a like-for-like basis (conditions apply);
• the fact that a company is local doesn’t mean that they can’t offer you great rates. In practice, we for example consider some of the prices we are able to deliver as being exceptionally competitive when compared against any other market options. This means that you do not have pay more and sacrifice keen and cost-effective prices if you prefer to support local business knowledge and expertise;
• ultimately, if you are someone that doesn’t feel comfortable with communicating by telephone and making contact via the internet, dealing with a local broker means you can always pop along to see them if necessary and have a face to face discussion with a real person. This is an option that internet-only organisations, of course, cannot offer.

In the final analysis, whether you are dealing with an internet or high street provider, what will prove to be important to you in the end is their ability to source a policy that is a close match to your requirements and at cost-attractive prices.

That inevitably brings us back again to the subject of market knowledge, track record and expertise.  When you are dealing with a local company, it is often much easier to verify that they have all of those attributes than it might be with a more distant organisation living in the somewhat intangible Internet.

Of course, talk is usually cheap and we would welcome the opportunity to prove our credentials in all of these areas by providing you with some quotation options for your motor vehicle insurance going forward.
