Summerville Insurance Company W.C. Wilbur
In a perfect world, we would not need insurance. Unfortunately, our lives are neither perfect nor simple and, while we hope never to file a claim, insurance is a necessity.
Finding the coverage in Summerville, SC that best fits your needs isn't easy. There are many insurance companies and vast amounts of information to absorb. Often we just give up, buy a policy and hope we're covered.
Or you can be proactive and contact a company such as W. C. Wilbur and Company Insurance, which helps sort through the information to find the right insurance provider for your specific needs.
"We are a property and casualty insurance company," said Patty Wilson. "We write personal and business policies. We work with quite a few providers."
We're bombarded every day with TV commercials and Internet ads, but that doesn't make it easier to buy insurance. When you call W. C. Wilbur and Company in Summerville, the phone will be answered by a real person who can direct you immediately to someone who can answer your questions and explain the differences among insurance products.
It is called customer service, and that personal touch resonates with consumers. W. C. Wilbur and Company has been in the same family since 1911 and is proud of its 100 years of serving the insurance needs of local residents.
