Our History

INSURICA Southwest has a long history in Arizona and throughout the Southwest. Beginning operations in 1989 as Minard-Ames Insurance Group, the agency set out to create an organization built on honesty, integrity, and accountability to its customers. Then in 2008, we joined INSURICA and became known as INSURICA Southwest. Today, we maintain local ownership and decision-making power. As one of a growing number of agencies across the country making up INSURICA, we have access to the resources, expertise, and financial strength that INSURICA provides.
