A Lynchburg Insurance Agency Built on Trust

Why We Started

Hedges Insurance Agency wasn’t passed down or bought out—it was built from the ground up. After founder Trish Hedges faced a difficult insurance claim firsthand, she saw the need for something different: an agency that put people first. Today, we carry that purpose forward by helping clients make informed, confident insurance decisions—without pressure, confusion, or corporate red tape. As a woman-owned insurance agency in Lynchburg, we take pride in doing things personally. That means picking up the phone, following up fast, and making sure every client knows who’s working on their behalf. Whether you’re insuring your first car, growing your business, or comparing life coverage options, we’re here with honest answers and responsive support.

What Makes Us Different


We’re independent, which means we’re not tied to any one insurance company—and that gives our clients options. We work with multiple carriers to find coverage that fits your needs and budget, not someone else’s sales quota. Our clients come to us for competitive rates, but they stay because of how they’re treated. You’ll never feel rushed, and you’ll never have to explain your story twice. Whether we’re helping with a claim or quoting coverage for your new home in Forest, you can expect straight talk and genuine support from the same local team every time. It’s not just a policy—it’s a partnership.
