ChaCha Insurance

Independent insurance agency

Better rates, easy as Cha Cha Cha.

Shopping for insurance shouldn't mean calling five companies. We compare policies from the insurance companies we work with and help you choose coverage that fits your life and budget.

What would you like to insure?

Pick one or more. You can change your mind later.

An insurance agent who works for you

A captive agent sells policies from one insurance company. As an independent insurance agency, ChaCha can review options from the insurance companies we work with, so you can see more than one price and more than one set of coverage terms side by side.

That matters because the cheapest quote isn't always the best deal. Two policies with the same premium can have very different limits, deductibles and exclusions. We point those differences out before you sign, so there are fewer surprises if you ever need to file a claim.

Many people start with one policy, like auto and later ask us to review their home or renters coverage too. Whether you move one policy or several is always your call.

Coverage for your car, home, family and business

Pick your mix

Choose the policies you need. We bundle them.

Tap only the types of insurance you want and watch the roof stretch to fit them. Each one stays its own policy and putting two or more together often unlocks a multi-policy discount.

How ChaCha works

Four steps from first question to final policy

You tell us what you need. We do the comparing, explain your options and stay available after your coverage starts.

Step 1 of 4

Tell us about your situation

Share what you want to insure, what coverage you have now and any deadline, like a closing date or a renewal notice. A few minutes of detail up front leads to quotes you can actually compare.

Step 2 of 4

Compare your quotes

We request quotes from the insurance companies we work with and line them up so you can see price, limits and deductibles together.

Step 3 of 4

Choose and apply

Pick the option that fits. We help with the application and the paperwork and we confirm when the insurance company has issued your coverage.

Step 4 of 4

Review when life changes

A new car, a new home, a new baby or a higher renewal price are all good reasons to check your coverage again. Reach out any time and we'll take another look.

Life moves. Your insurance should keep up.

Something just changed? Here's what to check.

Why ChaCha

Four reasons people let us do the shopping

You talk to a real person

Call, email or send a request online. A licensed agent explains your options and answers questions in plain language.

Advice that fits your situation

We ask about your home, your cars, your family and your budget before we suggest anything. No one-size-fits-all package.

More than one company to choose from

Because we're independent, we aren't tied to one insurer. That gives you more ways to balance price and coverage.

Help after the sale

Need to add a driver, update an address or understand your renewal? We're still here after your policy starts and we can help you understand the claims process with your insurance company.

Independent vs. captive

What working with an independent agency changes

A captive agent represents one insurance company. An independent agency like ChaCha can offer policies from different insurance companies. Both can give good advice. The difference is how many options you see.

Insurance companies
One company's policies
Who the agent represents
Usually one insurer
When your renewal goes up
Options within that company
Bundling
Within one company
Claims decisions
Made by the insurance company
