From the agency that started right here.
Family-owned independent agency
Serving Southwest Florida since 2009
We didn’t open a branch in Lehigh Acres. We built the agency here. Goodlad & Swank has been headquartered at 702 Leeland Heights Blvd W since 2009. It isn’t a satellite office; it’s home base.
Our agents live in this community, drive these roads and understand what Lehigh Acres drivers face. We shop dozens of carriers for you, and when you call, you’re talking to someone in the same ZIP code. That matters when it’s time to file a claim.
Florida requires only $10,000 of personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 of property damage liability (PDL). Those minimums leave big gaps, so here is what we recommend Lehigh Acres drivers carry.
Florida’s required coverages. PIP pays 80% of your own medical bills, up to $10,000, whoever caused the crash. PDL pays for damage you cause to other people’s property, and $10,000 rarely covers a modern car.
Protects your assets when you’re at fault by paying for injuries you cause to others.
Essential in a market with this many uninsured drivers. Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured drivers in the country.
Hurricane season, summer storms and wildlife on the roads through eastern Lee County make this a practical necessity.
If your car is worth more than a few thousand dollars, collision keeps one accident from becoming a financial crisis.
Lehigh Acres is spread out and car-dependent. This keeps you moving while your car is being repaired.
Lehigh Acres is one of the fastest-growing communities in Lee County. More drivers mean more congestion, more fender benders and more claims, all of which push premiums up.
Many roads are two-lane, with limited lighting in residential areas, which contributes to accidents, especially after dark.
Commuters heading to Fort Myers, Cape Coral and beyond log significant daily mileage, and carriers price that exposure in.
Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured drivers in the country. Without uninsured motorist coverage, you absorb the cost when one hits you.
We search every carrier we represent for the discounts you qualify for:
Every discount stacks. The more that apply, the more you save.
If the state has required you to file proof of insurance after a violation, we can find carriers that file it and help you get back on the road.
We’re not the insurance company. We’re your agent, and that distinction matters.
Florida requires only $10,000 of PIP and $10,000 of property damage liability. That won’t pay for injuries you cause to others or for damage to your own car. We’ll show you what better coverage costs before you decide.
A captive agent sells one company’s products. We represent dozens of carriers, so we can shop the market and find the policy that actually fits your situation.
Our office is at 702 Leeland Heights Blvd W in Lehigh Acres, and we serve Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero and Naples. You’re not a policy number. You’re a neighbor.
Butch Swank built this agency on one idea: change the way people feel about their insurance agency. Our team treats every client like family.
Butch serves on the Board of Lehigh Regional Medical Center and co-founded the East Lee Education Cooperative, and Mary sits on the Board for Lehigh Community Services. We don’t just work here. We live here.
Share who drives, what you drive, your driving history and the coverage you have today.
We shop multiple insurance companies and lay out the differences in coverage and price in plain language.
Pick the policy that fits. We take care of the paperwork and stay your point of contact for changes, renewals and claims questions.
Florida’s auto insurance rules and carrier options keep changing. Our family-owned team shops dozens of carriers to get you the most coverage for your money.
