Your Independent Auto Insurance Broker Serving Westchester County
Westchester County stretches from the urban centers of Yonkers and Mount Vernon along the southern border to the quiet river towns of Croton-on-Hudson and Peekskill in the north. In between are some of the most diverse communities in the New York metro area — from the dense walkable streets of White Plains to the wooded estates of Bedford and Pound Ridge.
K&N Insurance Brokerage is an independent broker, which means we don’t work for one insurance company — we work for you. We search across multiple carriers to find the coverage and price that fits your situation, whether you’re a daily commuter on I-287, a first-time driver in New Rochelle, or insuring a fleet of vehicles for your Westchester-based business.
Our Bronx office at 3010 Eastchester Rd is just minutes from southern Westchester — accessible straight up the Hutchinson River Parkway from Pelham, Eastchester, and Tuckahoe. We also have our main office in Queens and a toll-free line at (833) 840-8500 for Westchester drivers who prefer to handle everything by phone.
Our team speaks English, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Russian — so no matter what language you’re most comfortable in, we can help. ¿Necesitas seguro de auto en Westchester? Llámanos — hablamos español.
Auto Insurance Coverage Built for Westchester Roads
New York requires minimum liability limits of 25/50/10, plus $50,000 in no-fault (PIP) coverage and uninsured motorist protection. But Westchester’s road network — a maze of parkways, expressways, and winding county roads — creates risks that minimum coverage often can’t handle.
Liability Coverage
Covers injuries and property damage you cause to others. If you’re commuting on I-95 through Larchmont or merging onto the Cross County Parkway during rush hour, a serious accident could easily exceed New York’s low 25/50/10 minimum. We typically recommend higher limits for Westchester drivers, especially those with property or savings to protect.
Collision Coverage
Pays for damage to your car after an accident with another vehicle or object. Westchester’s parkways — the Taconic, Saw Mill River, Sprain Brook, and Bronx River — are beautiful but unforgiving. Narrow lanes, no shoulders, sharp curves, and sudden merges make fender benders and guardrail collisions more common than drivers expect.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers damage from things other than collisions: theft, vandalism, falling trees, hail, flooding, and animal strikes. Westchester drivers face unique comprehensive risks — deer crossings are a real hazard on the Taconic and Saw Mill north of I-287, and nor’easters regularly bring down tree limbs onto parked cars in suburban neighborhoods.
Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist
Required in New York. This protects you when the other driver has no insurance or not enough. An estimated 6% of New York drivers are uninsured, and that number rises in the urban corridors of southern Westchester near the Bronx border.
Personal Injury Protection (No-Fault)
New York’s no-fault system means your own insurer pays your medical bills up to $50,000 regardless of fault. For Westchester commuters spending 45+ minutes each way on I-87 or the Hutch, the exposure to highway-speed accidents makes PIP coverage critical.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Running a business in Westchester? From landscaping crews in Tarrytown to delivery fleets in White Plains to contractors working across the county, personal policies don’t cover commercial use. We write commercial auto insurance for Westchester businesses of every size.
What Drives Car Insurance Costs in Westchester County
Westchester sits in an unusual insurance zone — not as expensive as Manhattan or Brooklyn, but significantly higher than upstate New York. Here’s why your rates are what they are:
- Proximity to NYC: Southern Westchester communities like Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and New Rochelle share traffic patterns and accident rates with the Bronx. Insurers rate these ZIP codes higher than northern Westchester towns.
- High vehicle values: Westchester has some of the wealthiest communities in the country — Scarsdale, Bronxville, Rye, Chappaqua. Expensive vehicles mean higher comprehensive and collision premiums.
- Commuter mileage: Even with Metro-North, many Westchester residents drive to work — across the Tappan Zee (Mario Cuomo Bridge), down I-87, or through the Cross County to I-95. More miles means more risk exposure.
- Deer and wildlife: North of White Plains, deer strikes are a leading cause of comprehensive claims. The Taconic and Saw Mill parkways run through heavily wooded corridors where deer crossings spike in fall and spring.
- Weather exposure: Nor’easters, ice storms, and flooding along the Hudson and Long Island Sound coastlines cause thousands in damage annually.
