Berry Insurance Partners with Surround Insurance for Innovative Named Non-Owner Auto Policy

Berry Insurance has selected Surround Insurance to offer its innovative insurance product that fills the gap for consumers between college graduation and a first major purchase like a car or home. The Surround Insurance Starter Pack covers common risks faced by asset-lite consumers in their 20s and 30s. The first product includes coverage for driving rented or borrowed cars, biking, renting an apartment, and freelancing for 1099 income.

Kaitlyn Pintarich, President, comments, “We’re excited to be working with an innovative company that offers insurance products designed for the modern consumer. Surround has identified a growing trend with a need in the market, and has created a unique package of coverages to fit that need.”
