Never shop carriers alone.

Comparing insurance on your own means a dozen tabs, a dozen forms, and no way to tell which quote actually matches your coverage. Policy Scout runs the comparison once, explains the differences in plain language, and stays with you after the policy is issued.

Coverage

From your family home to your growing business, we scout the market for the fit that matches your risk and your budget.

“A++ Policy Scout is the best!! Tyler found me a great auto policy. Took my monthly from $191 to $81 a month. He really went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend you give him a call and see what he can do for you!!”

Frequently asked

Questions we hear on the trail.

What is the difference between an independent agent and a captive agent?+
A captive agent can only sell the products of the one company they work for. Policy Scout is independent: we compare many carriers side by side, place you with the one that fits, and can re-shop the market at renewal instead of letting a rate drift up.
Can you work with my mortgage company or escrow account?+
Yes. We send proof of insurance directly to your mortgage servicer and set the policy up so it is billed through escrow when that is how your loan is structured.
What if I live outside Ohio or West Virginia?+
Policy Scout is licensed in Ohio and West Virginia only. If you are outside those states we will tell you right away rather than take your information and go quiet.
Can the chatbot bind my coverage?+
No. Ranger, our online guide, answers questions and gathers what we need for a quote. Only a licensed agent can bind coverage, and a licensed human reviews every request before anything is issued.
Do you handle home warranties?+
A home warranty is a service contract for appliances and systems, not insurance, and it is not something we sell. Homeowners insurance covers sudden accidental damage like fire, wind, and theft. We are happy to explain where the line falls for your situation.
What is Premium Lock?+
Premium Lock is a three-year home price guarantee offered through Eventual. It is a separate program with its own terms and eligibility, and it is not offered or underwritten by Policy Scout. See our Premium Lock page for details.
How many carriers do you compare?+
We shop 50+ top-rated carriers, including GEICO, Progressive, Foremost, Bristol West, CSAA/AAA, Root, NEXT, Great American, Anthem BCBS, Aetna, United Healthcare, and more.
How long does it take to get a quote?+
Most personal quotes take about two minutes through our online wizard. Upload your current declarations page and we will fill in the details for you.
