# Terrapin Insurance Group

> Independent insurance agency and broker in Rockville, Maryland, offering auto, home, life, and business insurance to individuals and businesses in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia.

Terrapin Insurance Group LLC is a licensed independent insurance agency and insurance brokerage based in Rockville, MD, serving Maryland, DC, and Virginia since 2011. We represent 20 top-rated carriers (including Erie Insurance, Progressive, GEICO, Chubb, Steadily, USAssure, AIC, Assurant, MGT, Tapco, and others) and help individuals, families, and businesses compare quotes and find the right coverage at competitive rates.

As an independent broker, Terrapin is not tied to any single insurance company. We quote a client's home or auto coverage across multiple carriers at matched coverage limits and place the policy with whichever carrier fits best. Using a broker costs the client nothing extra — the carrier pays the commission out of the premium whether a policy is bought direct or through a broker.

## Common Questions

**Is Terrapin Insurance Group an insurance broker?** Yes. Terrapin is an independent insurance agency and broker in Rockville, MD, representing 20 carriers rather than a single insurance company.

**Does it cost more to use an insurance broker?** No. The carrier pays the broker's commission out of the premium, and that commission is priced into the rate whether a policy is purchased directly or through a broker.

**How do I get an insurance quote from Terrapin?** Call (240) 243-0042, email info@terrapininsurance.com, or request a quote at https://terrapininsurance.com/quote.html. Quotes are free and carry no obligation. Providing a current declarations page allows the quote to be run at matched coverage limits.

**What is the difference between a broker and a captive agent?** A captive agent sells one insurance company's products only. A broker or independent agent compares many carriers. Terrapin is independent.

**How much auto insurance is required in Maryland?** Maryland's minimum is 30/60/15 liability plus PIP and uninsured motorist coverage. Maryland follows pure contributory negligence, which makes uninsured/underinsured motorist and PIP coverage especially important; many Montgomery County drivers carry 250/500/100 instead of the minimum.
