Your Trusted Insurance Partner in Highland Park, IL
WENK Insurance is a family-owned, independent insurance agency established in 1932. Our goal is to help you protect yourself, your family, your business, and your property by advising you on insurance products best suited to your requirements and designing a comprehensive insurance program tailored to your specific needs. You can rely on our staff of insurance professionals to work with you on quickly finding the right solution to any insurance challenge, with competitive, highly-rated insurers you can trust. While some agents are direct writers who write insurance for only one company, we represent many companies that we can quote and compare for you as independent agents answering to you, the client first, rather than answering to the insurer.Its a reality that many insurers shine in one specific category or type of insurance, so you may receive recommendations from us involving several different insurers. Into our fourth generation now, we feel that our experience allows us to locate insurers for almost any risk brought to us, from Renters Insurance to Liquor Liability. And while no one person is an expert on every type of insurance, an agency can be of value when they know where to go in each case, and where the experts are for each specific line of coverage.

Can't say enough positive things about Wendy and her team. She is a true expert in aviation insurance. She has insured me for the past 5 years on 2 different Cirruses and I've been very happy with the fair rate and level of service.
