Yea and no. I compared 2 companies direct and through brokers last year and both rates were the same. Notably Progressive but forgot the other (I think it was some company based in South FL). Don't think they "add on" but do get a couple points discount from the insurance company for writing the policy. That PLUS the guy said his insurance DOUBLED. You think any insurance broker just will double it, or +25% or +50% just for fun ? Highly doubt that. All that will do is cost them a customer.
