Specialty coverage

Arlington/Roe

Arlington/Roe is a managing general agency and wholesale insurance broker based in Indianapolis. It works through independent retail agents rather than with insureds directly, placing excess and surplus lines business alongside standard-market coverage.

The firm is organized into specialty teams that coordinate on multi-line risks. Commercial lines include general casualty, commercial binding, workers' compensation, farm and commercial agribusiness, transportation and excess auto liability, professional liability including directors and officers, errors and omissions and employment practices, health and human services, and bonds and fidelity. Named program areas include real estate and habitational, construction and contractors, manufacturing and distribution, amusement and entertainment, and auto recyclers and scrap metal. Personal lines cover high-value homes, liability and umbrella, residential earthquake, valuable articles and inland marine, and commercial and recreational watercraft.

The company has been family-owned and independent since 1964 and is now in its third generation. Its target territory is the Midwest and surrounding states, but it is licensed in all states for property and casualty and excess and surplus lines, and its aviation division, writing since 1991, is available to producers nationwide.

Coverage is accessed through a retail agent and there is no published rate or fee schedule. Confirm appointment requirements and which lines are open in your state before asking for a quote.
