How It Works
Get personalized quotes from multiple insurance companies
We find you the best coverage at the best price.
A licensed local agent, every step of the way.
Comparison sites hand you off to a call center after the click. We don't. The same licensed Michigan agent walks with you through every step — and stays with you after the policy is signed.
Before the sale. One agent compares rates across every carrier we represent and explains what you are actually buying — in plain English.
At the point of purchase. We handle the paperwork and carrier switch-over — same-day when it matters for Michigan drivers and homeowners.
After the sale — every renewal, every claim. When rates creep up, we re-shop. When you have a claim question, we make the call. We are your advocate in Michigan, not a 1-800 number.
We have you covered
Our team at Vander Ploeg will find you the coverage you need at a price you can afford.
Why consumers prefer a local, independent insurance agency
Direct writers and comparison sites optimize for a click. A local independent agency works for you — comparing carriers, explaining coverage, and staying on the file after you buy.
You get a market, not a single brand. Captive agents sell one company. We shop multiple carriers so coverage and price can fit the file — not the other way around.
Advice that knows Michigan. No-fault, PIP choices, winters, and local underwriting quirks are part of the conversation. That context is hard to get from a national call center.
The same person after you bind. Renewals, claims questions, and coverage changes go to an agent who already knows the policy — not a new script every time you call.

Steve was very helpful, friendly, and informative. He made my experience very pleasant. I look forward to working with him again.
Steve is the ultimate pro when it comes to insurance and I've never had someone care so personally for me when it comes to also selling me something.
Steve did a great job! We were able to save over $1,000 on our insurance for the year. Great communication and very knowledgeable!
Easy process and great customer service.

What types of insurance do you offer?
Auto, home, renters, bundles, life, umbrella, and small-business coverage — shopped across carriers that fit Michigan drivers and homeowners.
How can I get a quote?
Enter your ZIP to start. We ask a few coverage questions, then a licensed agent shops carriers that fit your situation and walks you through the options — usually within the same day you ask.
Do you offer coverage for businesses?
Yes. We help with business owners policies, general liability, commercial auto, workers’ compensation, and related needs. Call us and we will map coverage to how you actually operate.
How long does it take to get covered?
Many clients start online in about two minutes and finish with an agent the same day. Binding depends on the carrier and your situation — we will tell you the timeline before you commit.
Are you licensed to operate in Michigan?
Yes. Vander Ploeg Insurance Agency, LLC is a licensed independent agency in Michigan. Ask for our licensing details anytime — we will put them in writing.
Can I make changes to my policy over the phone?
Yes. Call us for driver adds, vehicles, addresses, deductibles, and other updates. We handle the carrier paperwork so you are not stuck in a portal alone.
What should I do if I have a claim?
Call us first when you can. We will confirm what your policy covers, help you file, and stay with you through the adjuster process — not just the day the claim opens.
