About Lexington

Insurance in Lexington, KY

Inszone is an independent insurance agency in Lexington, KY, writing coverage for families, commuters, farm owners and business owners across Fayette County and the surrounding Bluegrass. Our office sits on East High Street a few blocks from Thoroughbred Park, a short walk from the downtown businesses we insure and a short drive from the horse farms along Paris Pike and Versailles Road. The office opened as Lexington Insurance Agency, and a lot of clients in this city still know us by that name — same team, same phone number, broader carrier access.

Because we are independent rather than captive, we compare different insurance companies in Lexington, KY instead of fitting you into one company’s box. That matters most when a carrier’s appetite changes and you need to move rather than lose coverage. Our licensed insurance agents in Lexington, KY handle the shopping, the paperwork and the renewal review so you are not doing it yourself every twelve months.

Kentucky’s largest coverage gap is flood, and it is not close. Flood insurance in Kentucky is excluded from every homeowners policy, fewer than one percent of households across the region carry it, and after the July 2022 eastern Kentucky flood the overwhelming majority of damaged homes had none. We would rather have that conversation with you before a storm than after one.

Personal Insurance in Lexington, KY

We write car insurance in Lexington, KY for New Circle Road commuters, University of Kentucky students and multi-vehicle households. If you are shopping auto insurance after a rate increase, we can requote the same limits across several carriers and show you what actually moved. People searching for car insurance in Lexington usually want the lowest price that still pays the claim, so we quote a realistic limit alongside the bare state minimum and let you compare the two side by side.

For homeowners, home insurance in Lexington, KY gets written against replacement cost rather than market value, because rebuilding a 1920s house near Ashland Park costs nothing like what it would sell for. We also review homeowners insurance policies written years ago, where the dwelling limit has quietly fallen behind construction costs. Roof settlement terms are the line item worth reading first — several carriers writing in central Kentucky have moved to actual cash value on older roofs.

Property investors can add landlord and rental dwelling coverage for loss of rents and tenant-caused damage. Condo owners get an HO-6 sized to the association’s master policy, not guessed at.

Riders can add motorcycle insurance in Lexington, KY with the guest passenger and accessory limits that most standard quotes leave off. We also write boats, RVs, classic cars and umbrella liability.

On the personal side, our benefits team place life insurance and health insurance in Lexington, KY for families carrying a mortgage with children still at home, individuals, and small employer groups.

Two Kentucky-specific exclusions are worth naming. Karst sinkhole activity runs under much of central Kentucky, and sinkhole insurance in Kentucky is an endorsement, not something your homeowners policy already includes. New Madrid earthquake exposure sits in the far west of the state and is excluded the same way.

Business Insurance in Lexington, KY

We write insurance coverage for retailers, restaurants, professional offices, non-profits and contractors. A business owner’s policy bundles property and liability for most small operations, while larger accounts get commercial insurance in Lexington, KY built line by line — property, commercial auto and fleet, cyber liability, professional liability, management liability and surety bonds.

Kentucky workers compensation insurance is required from the first employee, with no exception for family, temporary or part-time workers, and out-of-state employers get no exemption for work performed in Kentucky. General liability insurance in Kentucky is the other coverage your customers and landlords will ask you to prove, usually at the worst possible moment. We issue certificates of insurance and additional insured endorsements quickly, because that is normally what is holding up your job.

For the trades, contractor insurance in Lexington, KY has to line up with how you actually subcontract — your general liability, your work comp class codes and your subcontractor requirements all have to agree, or your audit will be unpleasant. On the hospitality side, liquor liability insurance in Kentucky is a separate coverage from general liability and is what a dram shop claim is paid from. Distilleries, taprooms and rickhouses along the Distillery District carry their own exposures, and bourbon insurance gets placed with carriers that understand barrel inventory values, aging stock and spirits in transit.

Lexington is the horse capital, and the farms here need coverage most agencies do not write. Equine liability insurance protects an operation against injury claims from boarders, riders and visitors. Equine mortality insurance covers the animal itself, with major medical and surgical endorsements available for performance and breeding stock. Broader horse farm insurance packages the barns, run-in sheds, tack, trailers and farm equipment along with the liability. Row-crop and cattle operations elsewhere in the county are covered under a standard Kentucky farm insurance program instead.

FAQs

What are the minimum auto insurance requirements in Kentucky?

Kentucky requires liability limits of at least $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident and $25,000 for property damage, or a $60,000 single limit. Kentucky is a choice no-fault state, so $10,000 of basic reparation benefits is required. Under Kentucky no fault insurance rules you can reject the tort limitation in writing before an accident to restore your full right to sue.

Do I need flood insurance in Kentucky?

Very likely, and almost nobody here has it. Flood is excluded from every homeowners policy, fewer than one percent of households across the region carry flood coverage, and after the July 2022 eastern Kentucky flood the overwhelming majority of damaged homes had no flood insurance at all. Because a large share of Kentucky homes are mortgage-free, there is no lender requirement forcing the issue. Karst sinkhole activity in central Kentucky and New Madrid earthquake exposure in the far west are also excluded and need separate endorsements.

Does my Lexington business need workers’ compensation insurance?

Yes, from the first employee, with no exception for family, temporary or part-time workers. Anyone engaged solely in agriculture is exempt, as are domestic servants in households with fewer than two employees working 40 or more hours a week. Corporate officers are employees by default but may reject coverage in writing.

Are you the same office as Lexington Insurance Agency?

Yes. This office operated as Lexington Insurance Agency before joining Inszone Insurance, and it is the same team at the same address and the same phone number. We are not connected to Lexington Insurance Company, the AIG surplus-lines carrier, which is a separate national company that happens to share the city name.
