Don't get stuck with insurance that doesn't suit you. We've learned that when people go the self-serve route, they buy the bare bones, not something that fits their life. From the start Varney has been about going further to offer you a better solution. Discover how, from a single location in Maine over 40 years ago, we now serve clients across North America.

Our innovative risk solutions help entrepreneurs turn their risks into a competitive advantage. From captive / segregated asset plans to real estate and construction, from forestry to employee benefits strategy.
Services
The insurance industry likes to treat people as if they were all the same because its easy and cheapest. But that does not give you the best solution. That's why we use our insurance expertise to tailor it to you, so you can better manage your risks and your costs. Customer service has defined our business ever since Bill Varney put his name above his first office in 1960.
Turn your risks into a competitive advantage with our range of specialized products, creative insurance programs and business risk reduction solutions. As fellow entrepreneurs we know what it takes to create a successful business, and the risks you face as you go after your goals. We'll help you to manage them more effectively so you get there faster.
No matter how good technology gets, relationships count for more. That's why most of our business is done face to face or over the phone. Because getting to know you means we can pull together an insurance plan that matches your life. We've been helping people properly insure their homes for over 40 years.
If you're finding that your larger clients have become attractive targets for the bigger brokerages, we can help you fight back. Create a customized alternative risk transfer program for your high performing, mid-marketing clients. Provide them with an opportunity to participate in the underwriting profits their traditional insurance premiums have been generating for carriers.

Working with Brad on my home owners and auto policy was easy and fast! Very informative and helpful plus he saved me money. Would definitely recommend calling the Varney Agency in Bangor for a quote.

Sarah knows her stuff! Every time I have had to reach out and speak with Sarah, she was able to answer the question and/or solve the problem. That is very stress relieving!

Recently, I was under a bit of pressure to get insurance for a new vehicle. I stopped at Varney's in Machias and was immediately able to meet with Michelle Wood. In less than ten minutes she created all the necessary paperwork, and I was able to complete the vehicle deal. Every contact with Varney's has always been personable, professional, and pleasurable.

I have bought my car insurance through Varney for many many years. They respond quickly to email and have helped me figure out the best value for myself and my teenager who also drives. I also love that they are local. I would recommend their services to other people.

I do not feel the need to shop around as Varney Agency seems to be on my side for keeping costs down as they shop different insurers for the best rates and coverage.

We have been customers for around 40 years and have never been disappointed with the customer service in every experience.

Consumers beware! My daughter was rear ended by a woman who has her auto insurance through this agency. The police report clearly says this is what occurred. The estimate states the cost for repair is approximately 500.00 (anyone who knows anything about cars realizes that it does not take much of an impact to cause this amount of damage). The insurance company is refusing to pay.

This is forcing us to take the woman to civil court. Unfortunately, in addition to the costs of the repair, my attorney is advising us that we will be asking this woman to pay for attorney fees and wages lost. Please do your research before choosing this agency! If you got into an accident, you would not want your insurance company to put you in this costly situation.
