Working in an insurance company, i can tell you we have received many cases of clients coming directly to the office claiming they have been conned by these agents or brokers be it moneywise of been issued fake certificates. Been a direct client, you will be given the correct rate as per the value of your vehicle, pay your cash there and then and be issued a company receipt.
On the part of a claim, you can call the office directly and follow up rather than an agent who will dodge your calls from time to time.
