Why an Independent Agent

One Application. 20+ Carriers.
The Best Rate for Your Situation.

When you call a single insurer, you get that insurer's best rate. When you work with Trinova, we run your information across 20+ carriers simultaneously — identifying which companies view your specific driving profile, vehicle, and ZIP code most favorably.

Virginia auto insurance rates vary significantly based on your location, driving record, vehicle, and even which carriers have had recent losses in your area. An independent agent's ability to shop the full market is especially valuable in Northern Virginia, where rates can vary by hundreds of dollars per year between carriers insuring the same driver.

Virginia Auto Insurance Requirements (2024)

Virginia requires all registered vehicles to carry minimum liability coverage:

  • $30,000 — bodily injury per person
  • $60,000 — bodily injury per accident
  • $20,000 — property damage per accident

Minimum coverage is a legal floor, not a recommendation. In Northern Virginia — where medical costs, vehicle values, and legal awards are high — we evaluate the right limits for your specific assets and risk exposure.

Maryland Auto Insurance Requirements

Maryland requires minimum liability coverage of $30,000/$60,000/$15,000. Maryland is also a fault state, meaning the at-fault driver's insurance pays — making adequate liability limits critically important.

FAQ

Virginia & Maryland Auto Insurance Questions

Virginia is an at-fault (tort) state. The driver who caused the accident is responsible for paying damages. Their liability insurance pays for the other party's injuries and property damage. Maryland is also an at-fault state. This is important when evaluating how much liability coverage you carry.
As of July 1, 2024, Virginia eliminated the uninsured motor vehicle (UMV) fee that previously allowed drivers to legally operate without insurance. All Virginia registered vehicles must now carry the minimum required liability coverage. Driving without insurance is now a Class 3 misdemeanor and can result in license suspension, registration revocation, and significant fines.
Bundling home and auto insurance with the same carrier typically saves 10–20% on both policies — often $200–400 per year combined in the Northern Virginia market. As an independent agency we compare bundled rates across multiple carriers to find the combination that produces the best total savings across both policies.
Yes. As an independent agency we have access to non-standard and high-risk carriers for Virginia and Maryland drivers with accidents, DUIs, or multiple violations. Rates will be higher, but coverage is available. We find the most competitive options for your situation rather than turning you away because one carrier won't write you.
