Our Mission

We take care of our customers better than anyone else.

Main Street America Insurance is driven by purpose.

At Main Street America Insurance, caring for our customers drives everything we do. It’s so much more than a mission ― it’s a vital belief that shapes our culture, strengthens our values and guides every decision we make.

Founded in 1923, Main Street America was built out of the desire to support the local farming community with quality, dependable auto insurance. Over 100 years later, we’re still committed to providing regional expertise, high-quality coverage, and community support to our valued agents and policyholders.

How We Operate

Main Street America is a leader in property and casualty insurance, including commercial lines, personal lines, and surety bonds. We proudly provide customized, quality coverage through independent insurance agents. Why independent insurance agents? Local agents know your community best, providing a unique understanding of the risks and requirements you may face. And, most importantly, they specialize in getting to know you as an individual to provide personalized service.
