Cothran Schoonover Insurance is an independent agency serving Virginia and North Carolina since 1981, representing multiple top-rated carriers including Nationwide, Travelers, Grange, and Progressive. They specialize in auto, home, boat, motorcycle, umbrella, and business insurance for individuals and companies, with five office locations across both states. Their certified agents hold advanced designations (PLCS/CLCS) and proactively review policies at renewal to ensure clients get the best coverage at the lowest rates—a key advantage over captive agents tied to single carriers.
Best for: Long-term homeowners and auto insurance seekers in VA/NC, small business owners needing commercial coverage, customers seeking to bundle multiple policies
Service area: Virginia and North Carolina, with offices in Amherst, Collinsville, Danville, and Lynchburg, VA, and Walnut Cove, NC
Multiple Carrier Options: As an independent agency, they represent major carriers and can shop policies across companies to keep rates affordable if one carrier's premiums increase—an advantage captive agents cannot offer.
Certified Specialist Agents: Agents earn advanced Personal Lines Coverage Specialist (PLCS) or Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist (CLCS) designations and are strictly divided by expertise rather than generalists handling all types.
Proactive Policy Reviews: Dedicated renewal team reviews policies annually to ensure clients maintain the best coverage at the lowest cost without sacrificing protection.
