We are an independent agency located in Austin, Texas, representing several
of the finest names in insurance including, AIG, The Hartford, Safeco,
Travelers and Unitrin. Armadillo is one
of the 1,600 agencies forming the nationwide Strategic Independent Agents
Alliance giving us the buying power generally available only to large agencies
but with the personal touch of a small agency. Additionally, Armadillo is
a Trusted Choice® agency meaning that we committed to extraordinary customer
service standards required to receive this designation, such as 24x7 customer
support.
Why should you buy from an Independent Agent? Unlike captive
agents (Allstate, State Farm) and direct writers (Geico, Progressive) who
represent only one company, we compare rates among several
different insurance companies and offer you the best rates and
coverage available. Often, the same company is not going to be competitive
in every line of insurance because there will be segments of the market
that they are not interested in growing. An independent agent, like Armadillo,
will find the best combination of companies to provide the policies you
need. What happens when your rate increases with a captive agent? Often
they can't offer you any desirable alternatives since they have only one
company. If your rate increases with Armadillo, we can search to find you
a better deal so you don't have to change agents every time your rates go
up.
