SIAA VS Smartchoice? Who Has Better Insurance Companies/partners?

[Dvdman]

Can anyone add their opinion on insurance partners used by SIAA vs Smart Choice? Does one company have a better group or are they similar? I am trying to make a decision between the two. Smart choice has list only 4 ( Travelers, Safeco, Metlife, and Encompass). SIAA has all of these and many more. Thanks...

You're comparing Apple's to oranges. Those are the smart start market access carriers. No binding authority, lower commission split, etc. Smart choice is a cluster kind of like siaa. Your actual carriers probably won't be that different. There are other questions you would be better served asking besides just carriers though.

SIAA has tons of carrier partners. It's a function of who your master agency has which can many times include regional players that work with your master agency but maybe not SIAA on a national level. Your MA (who you'd have to use based off your location..) most likely operates a retail agency in addition to being the MA so check out their website and see who they have.
