The Willoughby difference

We are a different kind of agency.

We start by listening to what you need. As an independent agency, we compare coverage across multiple companies and help you understand which options fit your life and budget.

You get choice.

We compare coverage, deductibles, and prices from multiple insurance companies, giving you options to consider.

You get straight answers.

We take the time to explain your coverage in plain language, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

A partner for the long run.

We help with questions, policy changes, and renewals as your life and coverage needs change.

The Willoughby Guarantee

Every renewal, we review your options.

Your needs and insurance rates can change. Before your policy renews, we compare coverage and prices across our 45+ companies and explain your options. We start the review automatically, then help you decide whether a change makes sense.

Reviews

Western New York trusts Willoughby.

Craig and Mark were great! Willoughby Insurance saved me thousands after a well-known insurer’s error caused my rates to go through the roof.

Craig Willoughby is an amazing human being. His kindness and generosity literally changes lives. I recommend Willoughby Insurance to everyone.
Casey Prince via Google
Paige was very nice, fast, and professional. I was already sad about something calling in, and she actually cheered me up and got my policy renewed.
