Shelter Insurance

Tips for Finding an Agent

• Make sure they specialize in the coverage you need
• If the agent is too busy to sit down with you, find a different agent
• Independent agents generally work with more companies than captive agents
• Captive agents only work for one company
• Ask for their license number and if they balk, find a new agent

Insurance Buying Tip

Consider packaging your home and auto coverage together to get a multi-policy discount. Many insurance companies that offer insurance in Illinois provide major savings when you combine your policies with the same company. Call Shelter Insurance at (217) 345-3802 or go to their location in Charleston to get an insurance review.
