Chicago suburbs

Insurance for the Chicago suburbs.

From the I-55 warehouse corridor to the industrial parks around O'Hare, the suburbs move a huge share of the country's freight. We insure the carriers, small businesses and families who live and work here.

Local know-how

What we see across the suburbs

The I-55 corridor through Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Plainfield is lined with distribution centers. Elk Grove Village, right next to O'Hare, claims the largest industrial park in the country. In between are thousands of small businesses, contractors and commuters.

Each part of the suburbs comes with its own insurance questions. Here's what we help with most.

  • Warehouse and distribution freightLocal and regional carriers serving the I-55 and I-294 warehouses need liability, cargo and certificates that match their shippers' requirements.
  • Delivery vans and box trucksLast-mile and box truck operations need commercial auto, not personal auto. We help small fleets get rated correctly.
  • Air freight around O'HareHauling for freight forwarders near O'Hare often comes with higher cargo limits and specific certificate wording.
  • Contractors and tradesGeneral liability, workers' comp and certificates for the contractors building and fixing across Cook, DuPage, Will and Kane counties.
  • Rates vary by ZIPAuto and home rates can change a lot from one suburb to the next. Shopping several carriers matters more here than almost anywhere.
  • Home, condo and rentersCoverage for houses, townhomes, condos and apartments, including water backup, a common claim in older suburban basements.
Questions

What Chicago suburbs clients ask us

Which suburbs do you serve?

All of them. We're licensed statewide, so we insure clients across Cook, DuPage, Will, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties and beyond.

Do you insure box trucks and delivery vans?

Yes. We write commercial auto for box trucks, cargo vans and small delivery fleets, including drivers working for last-mile delivery programs.

Why is my car insurance higher than my friend's in another suburb?

Insurers price by ZIP code, along with your driving record, vehicle and coverage choices. Two nearby suburbs can rate very differently, which is why we compare several carriers.

Does homeowners insurance cover a flooded basement?

Usually not on its own. Water backup from a sump pump or drain is often an add-on, and flood from outside water needs a separate flood policy. We'll check what your policy covers.
