Price vs. Cost
"You can have the lowest price or the lowest cost, but never at the same time"
You may have heard this axiom before, but it pertains to insurance more than any other product you will ever buy. Insurance policies vary widely and various companies offer many optional endorsements. How do you know what is or is not included? How do you compare the quotes of different companies? It takes an expert to read and decipher all of the hundreds of different endorsements available. Just comparing the deductibles and limits of two different policies is a bad way to compare.
Buying half of a steak for 2/3 the price is not cheaper. It’s actually more expensive. Buying a car with no engine is cheaper; but you aren’t going anywhere in it. The lowest insurance price is often so because important coverages have been left off the policy. The policy with the lowest cost of ownership may be close the lowest price, but give you a much better level of protection.

At Century Insurance Agency, we believe strong communities are built on compassion, connection, and showing up for one another, especially during life’s most difficult moments. That’s why we are proud to support Winning the Fight as our Community Cause for the next three months. Addiction does not discriminate. It impacts families from every background, often quietly and unexpectedly. Behind every struggle is a son, daughter, parent, or friend who deserves understanding, support, and hope. Winning the Fight was created from a place of deep love and loss, transforming unimaginable heartbreak into a powerful mission to educate, guide, and uplift those navigating the disease of addiction. Through education, advocacy, and real conversations, Winning the Fight is working to break the stigma that so often surrounds substance use. They remind us that addiction is not a moral failing, it is a disease, and one that requires compassion, resources, and community support to overcome. Their work continues to change lives, offering families the tools and reassurance they need to keep moving forward. We are especially inspired by the legacy of Kathy O’Keefe, whose strength and dedication created a ripple effect of hope that continues to reach thousands today. Her passion lives on through every life touched, every story shared, and every barrier broken. As part of this campaign, Century Insurance Agency will donate $10 for every referral we receive to support Winning the Fight and their mission. Together, we can raise awareness, support families in need, and be part of something bigger than ourselves. Because when we come together, we are not just fighting, we are winning.
Honoring 30 years of connection, service, and local support!

Celebrating 30 Years CIA Century Insurance Agency
At Century Insurance Agency, we believe that every family deserves the chance to thrive and find lasting hope. This season, we are thrilled to support Christian Community Action (CCA) and their inspiring mission to lift North Texas families out of poverty and into stability. Since 1973, CCA has been changing lives across Denton County with faith, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Through their three pillars of care — Rescue, Relief, and Restoration — they help families move from crisis to confidence. From food and housing assistance to education and job training, CCA’s programs are designed to open doors and build brighter futures for our neighbors in need. The need in our community is real. More than 63,000 people in Denton County are living in poverty, facing uncertainty about where their next meal or opportunity might come from. But there is hope — and you can be part of it! Here’s how: For every friend or family member you refer to our agency for a no-obligation quote over the next three months, we will donate $10 in your name to Christian Community Action. Together, we can be a part of meaningful change — ensuring families in our community receive the care, guidance, and support they need to thrive. At Century Insurance Agency, we are proud to serve with open hearts and faithful hands alongside CCA. Let’s join the fight against poverty and spread love, hope, and faith throughout North Texas.
At Century Insurance Agency, we believe a home is more than four walls—it’s the anchor that keeps families steady through life’s storms. Across North Texas, too many parents worry each night where their children will sleep.
At Century Insurance Agency, we know how powerful a single moment can be—especially for families facing unimaginable challenges. That’s why we’re proud to support Ally’s Wish as our Community Cause partner this campaign cycle. Ally’s Wish is a North Texas nonprofit with a truly beautiful mission: granting last wishes to young, terminally ill mothers with children. These wishes—whether it’s a family trip, a special experience, or even something simple like a day without worry—become lasting memories for the families left behind. It’s not just about the wish itself, but the joy, love, and connection it brings in a time that matters most. Inspired by the life of Allyson Hendrickson, a brave mom whose journey with cancer showed the strength of a mother’s love, this organization continues her legacy by reminding families that they are not alone—and that even in the hardest moments, there is space for hope, laughter, and togetherness. We want to help make more of those moments possible. Every time you refer a friend, family member, or neighbor to our agency, we’ll donate $10 to Ally’s Wish. Your referral could help a mom check something off her wish list—and give her family a memory to hold onto forever. We believe in showing up for one another. In making kindness count. And in giving back to causes that truly matter. Thank you for helping us support these strong, beautiful families—one wish at a time.
