Licensed Agent/Personal Lines and Marketing Contributor
More about Camron!
Camron is our newest member of A Plus Insurance and is achieving great things because he is backed by a wonderful team.
While learning the ins and outs of insurance he is supporting the company in any way he can.
He was born and raised in Florida. He moved to South Carolina when he was 15 so he is happy to call it his home. When he sets his mind to something there are few things that hold him back. For example, he taught himself how to play several instruments, started his own business, and now has a strong desire to excel in Insurance. However as he wants it to be known, “everything I have done has not been achieved by myself, it has always been from the help of others. All my thanks go to my family and friends.”

What Else You Should Know About A Plus Insurance
In The Beginning
Our company originally began as a “Life and Health” shop, but experiencing sheer encouragement from our existing clientele,
we began to seek companies that could offer affordable auto insurance coverage.
Progressive Insurance was the first company to issue us an auto contract (and we are still very grateful). As we started to grow our book of Property and Casualty clients, we slowly added additional companies including, but not limited to Bristol West, Mendota, Viking, Dairyland, Travelers, and much more. Once again, at the urging of our clientele, we began to offer Home Owners, motorcycle, business insurance coverage. Ironically now we sell very few “life or Health” policies at all and are almost exclusively a Property and Causality brokerage.
We constantly strive to do the research with different companies to find out if they are going to be a good fit for our clients, both from a financial and coverage standpoint. Another goal of our agency is to provide outstanding customer service, prompt responses, and the ability to answer questions.
Our Products
We specialize in personal auto, home, and motorcycle insurance, but also include boat, RV, and business liability insurance.
At A Plus we have the ability to shop multiple companies, to try to find the most competitive rate for a client’s situation.
We also have many carriers that can offer SR22 filings on both auto and even motorcycle policies. If you do not have a vehicle, we also offer NonOwners or even Broad Form policies.
Our goal is to provide solutions that better protect the future of our customers. Teamwork, Integrity, Excellence, Passion, and client engagement are tenants of success at A Plus Insurance. Above all, we make sure that our interests are aligned with those of our clients.
A Plus Insurance And Technology
We utilize modern technology to provide exceptional and unmatched service to our valuable clients.
Not only do our prospective clients have the ability to do an online quote, but our knowledgeable staff is available via phone and email. Once we activate a policy, we have the technology to immediately send over proof of insurance documents via email or fax.
Additionally, we also utilize an electronic signature system for applications Which helps cut down on unnecessary paper waste. We have a very low-pressure approach to sales and about 75% of those who call us for quotes can save by switching.
Our Service AReas
We now insure thousands of clients homes, cars, boats, motorcycles, and businesses. We have expanded our offering coverage in 35 states. (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin, and more!) We also may expand into other states in the near future.
We are confident in the customer service and products that we offer at A Plus Insurance but don’t just take our word for it, the best way to judge the quality of our services is to check the other client’s reviews.
