Skogman Insurance

Skogman Insurance is an independent agency that compares policies from more than ten carriers, including West Bend, Progressive, Nationwide and Selective, rather than tying clients to one company's products. Since 1965 it has written home, auto, renters, flood, life, health and business coverage, along with RV, motorcycle, pet, personal liability and identity theft policies. Business clients can also get commercial umbrella and cyber liability coverage.

The agency is locally owned, so clients usually work directly with a licensed agent instead of a call center. Claims can be started and tracked online, policy changes can be requested, and bills can be paid through the website. The main office is in Cedar Rapids, with additional offices in Coralville and Amana.
