The Institute of Insurance Brokers (IIB)

If your search for a new car insurance policy takes you into the realms of a UK broker then you need to be aware of the existence of the Institute of Insurance Brokers (IIB).

Brokers who are registered as a member with the IIB will often display this fact prominently on their literature or web site, for example: 'We are registered members of the Institute of Insurance Brokers plus authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority'.

History and Objectives of the IIB
The Institute (IIB) was formed in 1987 as a professional association for over 1,000 insurance broking firms throughout the UK and represents their interests to HM Government, the Financial Services Authority, the EEA Commission and Parliament and all other relevant bodies throughout the World. It is a non-profit distributing organisation, limited by guarantee.

Online, the IIB web site offers several useful functions and services which help and assist you in locating a local, trustworthy UK motor policy broker. Specifically it is possible to search by region or enter your postcode or town into the search to find one near you. You can also search by broker name and check if they are an IIB member.

Benefits of Using an IIB Member
If you wish to buy your next motor insurance policy from a UK broker, there are benefits associated with choosing one who is a current member of the Institute. IIB Brokers will ensure that their insurance arrangements meet your demands and needs. Insurance can be extremely complex, with policies containing many terms, conditions, exclusions and warranties, which is why it always pays to obtain professional advice. You can find an IIB member near you by clicking on their Find an IIB Member section.
