Welcome to Surround
Most insurance is built around something…
A car, a home, a family, maybe a job you might retire from in 20 years. But that’s not how younger consumers are living today. People who rent, share, and freelance deserve protection too, but it’s too confusing for them to set up insurance when they need it, and too expensive even when they’ve figured it out.
​
At Surround Insurance what we protect is you. Renting or borrowing a car? No problem. Renting an apartment? We’ve got you covered. Even freelance work has risks, and we can make that worry go away.
Surround makes it easy to rent, share, and freelance with confidence because our insurance is built around you.
