Why It Matters

Independent Agent vs. Captive Agent — What Indianapolis Residents Need to Know

Independent Agent (Hoosier Life)

  • Compares 20+ carriers simultaneously
  • Finds your lowest rate across all companies
  • No loyalty to any single carrier
  • Same premium — agent paid by carrier, not you
  • Can switch carriers if your needs change
  • Access to specialty carriers for health conditions

Best for most Indianapolis residents — saves $300–$800/year on average

Captive Agent (State Farm, Allstate, etc.)

  • Can only offer their own company's products
  • Rates typically 20–40% higher than market
  • Loyal to their employer, not to you
  • Limited options for health conditions
  • Cannot shop around if rates increase
  • May not have the right product for your need

Only makes sense if you already know you want that specific company
