Quick answers to the most common questions we get from new clients.
Most auto and home quotes turn around within one business day, and many within a few hours. Bundled auto+home quotes typically take a day or two because we shop across multiple of our 12 appointed carriers — Erie, Geico, Progressive, AIC, Chubb, Tapco, Assurant, US Assure, Steadily, MGT, USLI, and Utica National — and bring you the best fit, not just the first quote that comes back.
No. Many of our clients ask for a quote to benchmark what they're paying with their current carrier. There's no cost and no obligation. If we can save you money or get you better coverage, great — if not, we'll tell you that, too. Independent agents do this honestly because we represent you, not a single carrier.
For auto: drivers' names, dates of birth, license numbers, vehicle VINs (or year/make/model), and your current coverage limits. For home: property address, year built, square footage, roof age, and any recent claims. For business or life, we'll send a short intake. The faster you send it, the faster we can run quotes — and you can do most of it through our secure document share.
Yes — and you usually should. Bundling auto and home with the same carrier typically saves 10-25% versus buying them separately, and it simplifies billing and claims. Erie, AIC, and Chubb all offer strong bundle discounts in our Maryland, DC, and Virginia footprint. Just ask for a bundle quote and we'll do the math both ways so you can see the savings.
We're licensed in Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia. Our office is in Rockville, MD, and most of our clients are in Montgomery County, but we write business throughout all three jurisdictions — from Bethesda and Potomac to Capitol Hill, Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun, and beyond.
Quotes are 100% free, with no obligation. There's no catch — independent agents are paid by the carriers (not by you) only if you choose to bind a policy. We'd rather earn your trust with a fair quote and have you come back for life, home, umbrella, and business coverage than push something that doesn't fit.
Captive agencies like State Farm or Allstate can only sell their own parent company's policies, and direct writers like Geico only sell their own products. Terrapin is independent — we represent 12 different carriers (Erie, Geico, Progressive, AIC, Chubb, Tapco, Assurant, US Assure, Steadily, MGT, USLI, Utica National) and shop your risk across all of them. If your situation changes — a new home, a teen driver, a claim, a rate hike — we can re-shop the market and move you to a better fit without you having to start over with a new agent. You get one phone number and one agent for life, not just one carrier.
Yes. You can submit the quote request form on this page or use our secure document share link any time of day. We'll get back to you the next business morning. For policies in force where you need urgent help — a claim, a lapse notice, an ID card — call (240) 243-0042 and leave a message; we monitor for emergencies after hours.
Call or email — we'd rather have a real conversation than a one-click quote.
