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.
