Why must you pay your insurance premium thru your insurance agent? You can either pay it yourself at the insurance company, you can pay online, you can arrange auto-pay via your credit card, or you can pay thru your bank's bill payment service. Even if you pay thru your insurance agent, you should always get an official receipt which every insurance company would issue once they have got your payment. In that way you will know if your money has been deposited. Not just insurance agents in particular, we should not trust anybody blindly. We also have to know the process and keep a proper record. The yearly premium statement is an important document that we should check to make sure everything is ion order.

There is no charges if you pay from the balance of your bank account. Which bank do you have account with? Most banks do provide online payment services without any charges - they earn from the companies you make the payment to.
