insurance agency

Coverage sales office

An insurance agency is a business that sells insurance policies on behalf of insurance companies.

Agents help customers choose coverage—auto, home, life, health—and handle claims and renewals.

Independent agencies represent multiple insurers, while captive agencies sell for only one company: She stopped by the insurance agency to update her homeowner's policy.
