Can I purchase insurance from you online?

We are not a direct seller of insurance. We offer our products through a select group of independent agents and brokers. We've been working solely with independent agents since our founding in 1852. We do this because we believe purchasing insurance can be complicated and that your needs may be too complex to protect using an online form or a short phone call. The independent insurance agents we partner with are experts in your local market and will take time to understand your personal and business insurance needs. Discover the value we believe independent insurance agents bring to the insurance-buying experience.

Are your agents independent or captive agents?

Our agent partners are independent insurance agents. They partner with multiple insurance carriers to help ensure they are able to offer you the best combination of insurance coverage, value and price. Captive agents work for only one carrier and are committed to sell coverage options offered by their parent company.  

We consider independent agents our partners, only working with those we know and trust to do the right things by their customers. Learn more about how independent insurance agents can help define your unique insurance needs.
