Personal and Commercial Insurance in Georgetown

Your Local Independent Insurance Agency

Moore & Associates has served Georgetown, South Carolina since 1979. As an independent agency, we work with multiple insurance carriers to find coverage that fits your needs and budget. Instead of being locked into one company's options, you get access to competitive quotes from trusted insurers — all through a local agent who understands the unique risks of living and doing business in Georgetown County.

Georgetown is the third oldest city in South Carolina, rich in history and located where the Sampit, Black, Pee Dee, and Waccamaw rivers meet Winyah Bay. Whether you own a home in the Historic District, live in a neighborhood along the waterfront, run a business on Front Street, or manage commercial property in the area, we understand what it takes to protect your assets in coastal South Carolina. Hurricanes, flooding, and tropical storms are part of life here. Our agents help you build a policy that actually protects you when it matters most.

Personal Insurance Products

We provide a full range of personal insurance products for Georgetown residents. Whether you need to protect your home, your car, your boat, or your family, our agents shop multiple carriers to find the right coverage at a competitive price.

Homeowners Insurance: Your home is likely your largest investment. In Georgetown, you need coverage that accounts for hurricane exposure, wind damage, and the unique risks of living near the coast and multiple river systems. Whether you own a historic home downtown, a waterfront property along the Sampit River, or a home in a newer neighborhood, we help you find a policy that covers your dwelling, personal belongings, liability, and additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable.

Auto Insurance: South Carolina requires liability coverage for all registered vehicles, but minimum limits may not be enough after a serious accident. We compare auto insurance rates from multiple carriers to find reliable coverage that fits your budget — whether you need liability only, full coverage, or added protection like uninsured motorist coverage.

Flood Insurance: Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage — and flooding is one of the most significant risks in Georgetown. The city sits at the confluence of four rivers and Winyah Bay, making properties throughout the area vulnerable to both tidal and riverine flooding. Even homes outside designated flood zones can flood during heavy rains, king tides, or tropical storms. We help Georgetown homeowners secure flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or private carriers.

Condo Insurance: If you own a condo, your HOA's master policy covers the building exterior and common areas — but it does not protect your unit's interior, personal belongings, or liability. An HO-6 condo insurance policy fills those gaps. Our agents can review your HOA's policy to determine exactly what coverage you need.

Boat Insurance: Georgetown's rivers and access to Winyah Bay make it a prime location for boating and fishing. Whether you own a fishing boat, center console, pontoon, or offshore vessel, you need dedicated watercraft coverage to protect your investment. Boat insurance covers physical damage, liability, medical payments, and on-water towing. Most marinas and lenders require proof of insurance before you can dock or finance.

Commercial Insurance Products

Georgetown has a diverse economy — from the historic shops and restaurants along Front Street to the port, steel mill, manufacturing facilities, and professional services throughout the county. Moore & Associates helps local business owners protect their operations with commercial insurance tailored to their industry.

General Liability Insurance: This coverage protects your business from claims of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury caused by your operations, products, or employees. Most commercial leases and contracts require proof of general liability insurance.

Commercial Property Insurance: Your business property — including your building, equipment, inventory, and furniture — faces risks from fire, theft, vandalism, and storms. Commercial property insurance helps you repair or replace damaged assets so you can get back to business.

Business Owners Policy (BOP): A BOP bundles general liability and commercial property coverage into a single, cost-effective package. BOPs often include business interruption insurance, which pays for lost income if you close temporarily after a covered loss.

Workers' Compensation Insurance: South Carolina law requires most employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. This coverage pays for medical expenses and lost wages when employees are injured on the job and protects your business from related lawsuits.

Commercial Marine and Industrial Insurance: Georgetown's port and industrial sector require specialized coverage. From marine operations to manufacturing facilities, we work with carriers who understand the unique risks these businesses face and can build policies tailored to your specific needs.

Why Choose an Independent Insurance Agency?

When you buy insurance from a captive agent, you're limited to one company's products and prices. Independent agencies like Moore & Associates work differently. We represent multiple insurance carriers, which means we can shop your coverage across several companies to find the best combination of price and protection.

If your rates increase at renewal, we can look for better options without starting over. If your needs change, we can adjust your coverage or move you to a carrier that's a better fit. Our job is to help you understand your options, find coverage that fits your situation, and advocate for you when you file a claim.

Local Agents Who Know Georgetown

Insurance is not one-size-fits-all, especially in a community like Georgetown with its historic properties, waterfront homes, and proximity to multiple rivers and Winyah Bay. An agent in another state may not understand why flood insurance is critical throughout Georgetown, or how the area's unique geography affects your coverage needs.

When you call Moore & Associates, you reach a local agent who lives and works in the area. We understand the challenges of insuring historic homes in downtown Georgetown, waterfront properties along the rivers, and businesses that range from Front Street shops to industrial operations near the port. We know which carriers write coverage in Georgetown County and which ones offer the best rates for your situation.

We're also here when you need us. If you have a question about your policy, need to file a claim, or want to update your coverage, you can call our office and talk to a real person — not a call center halfway across the country.

Protecting What Matters Most

At Moore & Associates, we believe insurance should give you peace of mind — not stress. Our goal is to help you understand your risks, find coverage that protects what matters most, and feel confident that you're prepared for the unexpected.

Whether you're buying your first home in Georgetown, insuring a boat for the rivers and bay, protecting a small business, or simply looking for a better rate on your current coverage, we're here to help. Our agents take the time to listen, answer your questions, and find solutions that fit your life and your budget.
