Frequently Asked Questions

AADirect is a licensed independent insurance agency, not an insurance carrier. We shop multiple carriers on your behalf to help find coverage options that fit your needs and budget. Our licensed agents are with you throughout the process to answer all of your questions and help you compare quotes based on details you provide for the coverage you need.

AADirect is a licensed independent insurance agency. An insurance company (or “carrier”) is the one that issues and backs your policy. As an agency, we work with multiple carriers to help you compare options. That means more choices and objective guidance, so you can decide on a plan that works best for your needs.

When you work directly with a single carrier, you only see that carrier’s rates and options. AADirect compares multiple carriers at once across similar plans to help you find coverage that works for your specific situation, with options to choose a plan that fits your budget. You also get support from licensed agents, including bilingual service, at every step of the process.

AADirect serves customers in multiple states. For the most current and accurate information on where we operate and policies offered in each of those states, visit aadirect.com or speak with one of our licensed agents directly.

Yes. All AADirect agents are licensed insurance professionals who have passed state-mandated exams and courses to obtain state-specific credentialing.

Choosing the right policy depends on a number of factors, including your vehicle, your driving history, and your budget. A licensed AADirect agent can help you compare options across multiple carriers and walk you through what each policy covers, so you can make a well-informed decision.

In many cases, proof of insurance is available the same day you purchase your policy. Availability can vary depending on the carrier and the type of policy. Your AADirect agent can let you know what to expect and help you get your documents as quickly as possible.

Many of AADirect’s carrier partners offer flexible payment options, including monthly installment plans. Payment structures can vary by carrier, so we recommend speaking with a licensed agent to find out which payment plans are available for your policy.

After an accident, your safety comes first. Here are some steps to follow to stay safe and start a claim.

• Move to a safe location if possible and check for injuries.
• Call 911 if anyone is hurt or if there is significant vehicle damage.
• Document the scene by taking photos and exchanging information with the other driver.
• Contact your insurance carrier directly to report the accident and begin the claims process.

Claims are filed directly with your carrier, not with AADirect. If you need help figuring out next steps, your AADirect agent can help.

Claims are filed directly with your insurance carrier, not through AADirect. Have your policy number and your carrier’s contact information ready when you call. If you aren’t sure how to get started or need help understanding the process, your AADirect agent can point you in the right direction.

Claim timelines can vary depending on the carrier, the type of policy, and the complexity of the claim. Some claims may be resolved quickly, while others take more time. For questions about a specific claim, contact your carrier directly or reach out to your AADirect agent for support.

Payments are made directly to your insurance carrier, not through AADirect. Payment methods and schedules can vary depending on your carrier and your policy. If you are unsure how or where to make a payment, your carrier’s contact information will be on your policy documents, and your AADirect agent can help if you need assistance.

In most cases, yes. Coverage adjustments are generally possible mid-policy. Keep in mind that changes to your coverage may affect your premium and can take effect at different times depending on your carrier. Contact your licensed AADirect agent for guidance before making any changes.

Switching carriers is generally allowed at any time. Some policies may include cancellation fees, so it’s worth reviewing your current policy terms before making a change. For policy-specific guidance on switching, speak with your licensed AADirect agent to understand your options.

Missing a payment can result in a policy lapse or cancellation, depending on your carrier’s terms. If you think you may miss a payment, it’s a good idea to contact your carrier or your licensed AADirect agent right away. Acting early gives you the best chance of keeping your coverage in place.

There are several ways to potentially reduce what you pay for coverage:

• Compare quotes across multiple carriers, which AADirect does for you.
• Adjust your coverage levels to match your actual needs.
• Maintain a clean driving record over time.
• Ask your agent about discounts you may qualify for.

Savings can vary by carrier and state. A licensed AADirect agent can help you find the most competitive options available to you.

Many carriers offer discounts for drivers with clean records. The availability and amount of safe driver discounts can vary by carrier and by state.

To find out which discounts may apply to you, speak with a licensed AADirect agent who can review your options across multiple carriers.

In many states, credit history can be one factor that insurers consider when determining your rate. Not all carriers use credit as a factor, and AADirect works with carriers that do not require a credit check. Some insurers may consider credit-based factors where allowed by state law. Your agent can help you find the right fit for your situation.
