A local agency run by people who live here
Aroy Tanzania Insurance Agency is an independent agency owned by Samuel McDonald and based on Road 26, just outside Dolores, Colorado.
Why this agency exists
Samuel McDonald started the agency for a simple reason: too many people around here were buying insurance from a website or an 800 number and finding out what they actually had only after something went wrong.
A hail-damaged roof settled at actual cash value. A ranch truck that wasn't listed on the farm policy. A home insured for what it cost in 2009 instead of what it would cost to rebuild today. Those are fixable problems, but only if somebody looks before the claim.
So that's what we do. We look. We read your policies, ask about how you live and work, and then compare options from the insurance companies we work with. You make the decision. We make sure you understand it.
How we work with every client
Coverage before price
A cheap policy that doesn't pay is the most expensive one you'll ever buy. We start with what you need covered, then find the best price for it.
Plain English
If we can't explain a coverage in a sentence or two, we keep working on it. You should never sign something you don't understand.
Honest advice
Sometimes the right answer is "keep what you have." Sometimes it's "you need more liability." We'll tell you either way.
Your information stays yours
We don't sell your personal information or pass it around to lead buyers. It's used to quote and service your policies, period.
Easy to reach
Same phone number, same office, same people. Email works too, and we answer it.
Here at claim time
We can't adjust claims ourselves, but we'll help you report it, explain the process and follow up with the insurance company.
Samuel McDonald
Samuel handles client work personally: quotes, reviews, renewals and claim questions. He spends most of his time on the phone with families and ranchers in Montezuma and Dolores counties, and on the road visiting operations that are easier to understand in person than on paper.
When he isn't working, you'll find him somewhere along the Dolores River or up near McPhee Reservoir with his family.
