7 Reasons An Independent Insurance
Agency Is The Perfect Fit For You
Have You Experienced The ‘Independent Difference’ Yet?
F
rom auto, home and life insurance to the complexities of
covering a business, searching alone for insurance coverage that
fits you and your unique needs can be a confusing, frustrating
burden. Rates go up without reason, claims come when they’re least
convenient, and reading your policy can sometimes feel like staring
into a swirling bowl of alphabet soup. Adding to the confusion are
all the mega-brand coverage providers barking at you from every
commercial break, billboard and online banner with promises of
vague special discounts and competitive rates.
So what’s a busy individual like you supposed to do?
Some people simply pick the brand they know best—usually a big
national insurance company with bottomless marketing budgets—
either because their friends and family use them or because their
advertising is familiar, well-made and convincing.
After all, it seems like most coverage companies are the same, so
why not just pick one at random?
But what most people don’t realize is that insurance doesn’t have

WE SHOP MORE THAN 40 COVERAGE PROVIDERS FOR YOU
What if someone went to the store for you and found the best deals
on exactly the things you need while you relaxed in the comfort of
your own home?
That’s basically what an independent agency does. Only, instead of
groceries or clothes, we browse aisles upon aisles of quality, top-rated
insurance providers to find you the best price on a policy that meets
your exact coverage needs. Rather than re-entering your information
into a dozen different quoting sites, you just answer a few questions
for us and we do the rest.
Imagine the time and money an independent agency like Rupp-
Fiore Insurance can save you with a roster of over 40 available national
and regional coverage providers (including big name brands like
Travelers and Progressive).
It would take months to shop that many carriers one by one on your
own.
YOU GET LOWER, MORE COMPETITIVE RATES
Because independent insurance agencies aren’t obligated to sell
just one company’s policies, they can offer you quotes on policies from
a variety of companies, each with its own policyholder preferences
and rating methods. Things like past accidents, bad credit or youthful
drivers are less of a liability with some companies compared to others,
and will t
