For licensed insurance agencies

An insurance partner for agencies with clients they cannot place

Every agency has clients its companies will not write. When that happens, you do not have to send them away empty-handed. Kaufman Insurance Group is an independent agency that can often help place RVs, classic cars, hard-to-place auto, trucking, and contractors, so your client still gets covered.

When we can help

Clients your companies will not write

Most agencies are appointed with a set group of companies, and each company has its own rules about what it will insure. A client can fall outside those rules because of what they own, how they drive, or the work they do. That does not mean they cannot be insured. It often means they need a different company.

Kaufman works with a wide range of companies, including some that focus on specialty and hard-to-place risks. When your client does not fit your book, we can look at the options we have and tell you honestly whether we can help.

RVs and travel trailers

Motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and full-time RVers.

Classic and collector cars

Agreed value coverage for older, restored, and collector vehicles.

Hard-to-place auto

Drivers with tickets, accidents, or a lapse in coverage.

Trucking

Owner-operators, hotshot haulers, and small fleets.

Contractors and trades

Remodelers, roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, and other trades.

Other specialty risks

Boats, powersports, and other items your companies may not write. Ask us.
