Maryland Insurance Coverage from an Independent Broker Who Knows Both Sides of the State Line

Whether you live in Maryland, run a business there, or split your life between MD and the New York metro area, Mendoza Agency is licensed and ready to help. We've been serving clients across multiple states since 2006, and our Maryland clients get the same independent broker access, bilingual service, and hands-on attention we bring to every relationship — no matter where you're located.

One Agency for Your Insurance Needs in Maryland and New York

A lot of Maryland clients find us the same way: they already work with us in New York, or they have family and business connections on both sides of the state line. As an independent insurance agency Maryland residents and business owners can count on, we make it easy to consolidate your coverage under one roof. You don't need a separate agent for each state — you need one team that holds licenses in both and treats you like a person, not a policy number.

 

Our Maryland license means we can write personal and commercial lines across the state, with access to multiple carriers so we can shop your coverage and find the right fit. The same team that answers your calls and knows your name handles your Maryland account.

Personal Insurance for Maryland Residents

Maryland has its own approach to auto insurance — the state uses a hybrid tort system that gives drivers more flexibility than a pure no-fault state, but it also means the choices you make at the time you purchase your policy carry real consequences if you're ever in an accident. Having an agent who understands how Maryland's system works — and how to structure your coverage accordingly — matters.

 

Beyond auto, we write the full range of personal lines for Maryland residents:

 

We work with multiple carriers, so we compare options on your behalf rather than pushing a single product.

Commercial Insurance for Maryland Small Businesses and Contractors

Small business owners and contractors operating in Maryland need coverage that reflects the real risks of their industry — not a generic policy pulled off a shelf. We work with general contractors, tradespeople, LLCs, and service businesses across Maryland, and we understand the certificate requirements, coverage minimums, and policy structures that matter in this market.

 

Our commercial lines for Maryland businesses include:

 

If your business operates across state lines — say, based in Maryland but doing work in Virginia, Pennsylvania, or New York — we can coordinate coverage across those states through a single agency relationship.

Bilingual Service and a Relationship-First Approach

Mendoza Agency is Hispanic-owned and women-run, and we've built our practice around serving diverse communities — including Spanish-speaking clients who want to discuss their coverage in the language they're most comfortable in. If you or someone in your family prefers to work in Spanish, our team is here for that conversation.

 

Our service model is the same regardless of where you're located. You get a real agent who knows your account, answers your questions directly, and checks in when your renewal is coming up. We don't hand you off to a call center. We don't disappear after the policy is bound. That's how we've built relationships that last — and why so many of our Maryland clients came to us through a referral from someone they trust.

Common Questions About Insurance Coverage in Maryland

  • Can I use Mendoza Agency if I live in Maryland but my family or business is also in New York?

    Yes — and that's one of the most common reasons Maryland clients work with us. We're licensed in both states and can manage your coverage across them through a single agency relationship. You work with the same team regardless of which state the policy is in.

  • Does Maryland require car insurance?

    Yes. Maryland requires all registered vehicles to carry minimum liability coverage, and the state operates under a tort system, meaning the at-fault driver's insurance is responsible for damages. We help Maryland drivers understand their coverage options and choose limits that reflect their actual risk — not just the state minimum.

  • Do you work with Maryland small businesses that operate in multiple states?

    We do. Many of our commercial clients run operations that cross state lines, and our licensing across 10 states — including Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York — means we can coordinate the coverage your business needs without requiring you to manage multiple agency relationships.

  • Is your service fully remote for Maryland clients?

    Yes. Maryland clients work with us remotely — by phone, email, or video — and receive the same level of personal attention as clients who walk into our Bronx office. Quotes, policy reviews, and certificate requests are all handled directly by our team.
