 Why Use an Independent Agent

Many people don't realize there are 3 sources for insurance:

  • Captive agents, who can sell the insurance of just one company
  • Direct response representatives, who can offer the insurance of one company and only on the telephone
  • Independent insurance agents, who represent multiple insurance companies

When you decide to buy a car, you wouldn't purchase the first one you see. You'd shop around to find the right car for your needs. The same holds true for insurance.

An independent insurance agent:

  • Is a licensed agent with strong customer ties
  • Consults with you to understand your needs before recommending coverage for your situation
  • Gives you excellent service and competitive prices
  • Does not serve just one company, so you can keep your agent as your insurance and service needs change

Please contact a Virginia CU Insurance Services licensed agent with any questions, or to receive a no cost, no obligation quote.
