Frequently Asked Questions
Why use an independent insurance agent instead of buying direct?
Independent agents like TCDS Insurance Agency shop 50+ carriers on a single application — captive agents at State Farm, Allstate, or Alfa can only quote one carrier. Direct writers like GEICO and Progressive only quote themselves. Across our 50+ carrier panel we typically save Alabama shoppers $300-$600/yr on auto and $400-$800/yr on home compared to single-carrier alternatives, while also catching coverage gaps a captive agent has no incentive to flag.
How much can TCDS Insurance Agency save me on insurance?
Typical TCDS clients save $300-$800/year by switching, with the largest savings on bundled auto + home policies. Actual savings depend on your current carrier, driving record, credit, ZIP code, and home characteristics. We publish real ranges on our cost-breakdown pages: $720-$1,620/yr for Birmingham auto, $1,880-$3,320/yr for Birmingham home. The only way to know your savings is a free 50-carrier quote — no obligation.
What states does TCDS Insurance Agency serve?
TCDS Insurance Agency is licensed in Alabama (license #3000576866), Georgia (#206742), and Tennessee (#2445535). We write personal and commercial lines across all three states, with deep expertise in Alabama-specific risks (tornadoes, hail, coastal hurricane exposure), Georgia (hail, flood), and Tennessee (severe storms, Cumberland flood plain).
How long does it take to get a quote from TCDS?
Most auto and home quotes are ready same-day or next business day once we have your driver license, current declarations page, and a property address. Commercial quotes (BOP, workers' comp, commercial auto) typically take 2-3 business days because they require carrier underwriting review. Bind and ID cards are usually issued within 1 hour of policy acceptance.
Is TCDS Insurance Agency a real local agency or a call center?
TCDS Insurance Agency is a real Alabama-based agency headquartered at 4316 Main St, Pinson, AL 35126. Founded by Todd Conn, CLCS in 2019, we are not a call-center, lead-generation site, or aggregator. We hold a 4.9-star Google rating across 164+ verified reviews and were named 2023 Agency of the Year by the Alabama Insurance Alliance. Every quote is handled by a licensed agent — Todd personally reviews complex placements.
What types of insurance does TCDS write?
Personal lines: auto, homeowners, renters, condo, manufactured/mobile home, motorcycle, ATV/UTV, RV/camper, boat, classic car, umbrella, life. Commercial lines: business owner's policy (BOP), general liability, commercial auto, workers' compensation, contractor insurance, restaurant insurance, retail/wholesale, cyber liability, commercial property, fleet, and specialty coverages. We do not write SR-22 high-risk auto. Flood is placed through the NFIP and private flood markets.
Does TCDS shop my insurance every year or only at first quote?
TCDS reviews active client policies at every renewal — when a carrier files a rate increase, we re-shop the full 50+ carrier panel to find a better fit. Many of our clients have been remarketed 2-3 times since 2019 and stay with TCDS even when the underlying carrier changes. There is no fee for the remarket — it's part of being our client.
