The shop, the truck, the rental and the family car usually sit behind the same owner, and three different agents handle them with nobody watching the seams. Vantage Point Risk is an independent agency in south Eugene, Oregon, licensed in 12 states, and we look at the whole picture before quoting any part of it.

If you want the cheapest click-and-buy policy with nobody involved, we are not your best fit, and we will say so rather than waste your afternoon. If you want somebody who compares the market, explains the trade-offs in plain English and answers the phone when something goes wrong, that is the work. Most of our clients came to us after outgrowing an 800 number or a one-company agent.
Independent means we are not owned by an insurance company and we do not carry a quota for one. Vantage Point Risk started in January 2019 as an Allstate agency and we sold that book in June 2021. A single-company appointment limits you to what that company is willing to write, so when it declines a house or prices a fleet out of reach, you have nowhere else to send it.
Today we hold appointments with 86 carriers and specialty markets, and your account only goes to the ones that want that kind of house, building or operation. Working out which of them that is, before anyone fills in an application, is most of what we do. When none of our markets will take a risk, we go find one that will.
Price follows fit more often than people expect. A carrier that wants the business usually prices it better, and on most accounts we review there is stronger coverage available for what the client already pays. We do not write state minimums or trade coverage away to make a premium look smaller.
Coverage also gets scattered over the years, and nobody reviews the whole set until a claim finds the seam between two policies. Certificates, lease requirements and lender endorsements are where those seams usually turn up.

Richard has been extremely helpful and responsive. I don't really know much about insurance companies so I don't really know if I was saved any money, but he seemed pretty forthright about what I did and didn't need and was a pleasure compared to my experiences dealing with insurance companies directly in the past.View on Google (opens Google Maps in a new tab) →

I had a great experience with this company and they actually changed my perspective on insurance companies. I appreciated their turn around time and they never call you with those long annoying insurance questions but email everything. Very friendly people! Richard thank you .View on Google (opens Google Maps in a new tab) →
