About Us

Who is Shurr Insurance Agency ?

As an independent insurance agency, we operate freely to represent our clients rather than under the control of a single insurance company. We hold our partner insurance carriers to the highest standards, utilizing a strict vetting and selection process to partner only with top-tier carriers that offer the highest quality coverage and the strongest financial stability. This selective approach allows our team to find the perfect fit for your unique needs at the best possible rate with the confidence they will step up when you need them most. Furthermore, we proactively review your policies at every renewal, re-marketing them among our elite carrier network whenever necessary to ensure you always remain in the absolute best position.

About agency owners

Vernon Shurr started Shurr Insurance in 1923. He owned a small farm in Porter County at the time and was looking for additional means to support his family. Through his farming and Valparaiso community relationships, and his passion to always be willing to help all those around him, the Shurr Insurance legacy had begun. That passion for helping and protecting others in our community was planted into each generation of Shurr sons to follow, pushing the agency through 4 generations of the Shurr family (Vernon, Emerson “Bud”, Larry, and Jon). Today, Larry and Jon own and operate the agency, pushing it further into the digital and Artificial Intelligence era while keeping rooted in what the agency was established on: family and relationships. Jon has earned multiple designations to better understand this industry and best serve his team and clients. Although Larry and Jon wear multiple hats in operating the agency, family and relationships take priority in all that they do.

FAQ

Unlike a captive, or direct insurance company who only offers their own proprietary products, our agency is 100% independent of any one company. Many insurance consumers don’t fully understand just how important that really is. When it comes to something as important as insurance, it’s imperative that you work with an agency who has an in-depth knowledge of multiple insurance products, companies, and guidelines — not just one.

What happens if my insurance premium increases?

At each renewal we look at your policy, check it against our carrier partners to be sure you are still getting the best deal. Longevity is important with carriers, so we will advise you of the pros/cons of switching carriers. Call us if you have concerns about your premium, we will help you.

At the end of the day, what separates one agent from another, is their ability to proactively service their policy holders, and their knowledge of the insurance industry, products, and different situations that may present themselves to their clients.
