Why John T. Cook & Associates?

Independent – to work for you.

John T. Cook & Associates is the Grand Strand Region’s go-to team for cost-effectively insuring the area’s cars, homes, and businesses. Unlike those big-name agencies, we don’t work for one insurance carrier with a one-size-fits-all solution. We instead get to know you personally to identify all your options and help you compare insurance rates and coverage choices. We are independent and represent most of the nation’s leading home, business, restaurant, and auto insurance companies. Our agents have a wealth of background in restaurant insurance, as well as in-depth knowledge of insuring second homes, vacation homes, and condos.

Contact us today to learn how we can work together to find an insurance solution that fits your insurance coverage requirements.

Our Experience

While John T. Cook's agents are qualified to provide coverage for all types of risks, we have various levels of experience across all of our offices. Our years of experience and industry knowledge help ensure you get coverage for your unique needs and provides peace of mind.

Coastal Property Insurance

Living and owning a business on the coast has its own unique challenges. Our agents understand the changing flood insurance laws and details, as well as other issues related to living on the Grand Strand, such as condominium insurance, second home/vacation home insurance, and more.

Restaurant Insurance

Our agents focus on insuring restaurants and their related risks. We help you insure against the unique exposures of the food industry, including food spoilage, patron slips and falls, employee cuts and lifting injuries, business interruption, and liquor liability – just to name a few. Our restaurant insurance program includes property, liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto insurance.

The Correll Way

Our licensed and knowledgeable associates take time to understand your concerns to better assist you in making your coverage decisions. We strive to help you navigate the complex and intricate world of insurance so you can focus on what matters most to you. That’s the Correll Promise.

Robert and his staff are the best! Great for dealing with any business and is always putting the client first! Highly recommended!

Local Agent. National Support.

Correll Insurance Group offers the best of both worlds—you get to use a local, independent agent who lives in your town and knows you personally, but this agent is backed by a strong, national firm that’s been serving the Carolinas for more than 90 years. So you don’t have to choose between having a personal relationship with your agent and knowing your insurance has enough resources. You’ll get both with Correll.
