Why an Independent Agency is ALWAYS your best choice

Competition means savings…

There are two main types of insurance agencies: captive and independent. Knowing the difference can save you money.

A captive agent represents one insurance carrier. When that carrier raises their rates, your rates go up. Since a captive agent offers products from only one company, your only recourse is to choose another agency that can offer an alternative. With a captive agent, you will always have one, and only one option.

An independent agent works with multiple insurance carriers. Should rates increase with one company, your independent agent compares your existing policy with those offered by the other carriers. In essence, your independent agent shops for the best rates with carriers who offer coverage that provides protection for your specific risks. With an independent agent, you have multiple choices.

Arnoldussen & Associates offers insurance protection from many of the nation’s leading insurance carriers. These are insurance companies who have a history of financial stability and superior claims service.

Our many insurance carriers include:

Mercury
Safeco
Progressive
Viking
Commerce West
McGraw (Pacific Specialty)

…And many others

“For thirty years I’ve worked in the insurance industry and I’ve witnessed many changes over the years in technology, carriers and the way clients and insurance companies interact. We’re an independent agency for a reason. Being independent means we can focus on meeting your personal insurance needs instead of worrying about pleasing some insurance company. Throughout my career I’ve learned that there’s simply nothing that takes the place of personal service. Technology has made it easier and more efficient to get things done, but being there to answer questions, offer explanations and help when the unexpected occurs can’t be handled by a computer. You won’t find lizards or gimmicks at Arnoldussen & Associates…just real people providing real coverage for real life, delivered with integrity.”
