Local Allstate Agent: Meet Lois Woods

As a resident of St. Petersburg since 1985, I’ve enjoyed helping people. That passion led me to open my agency here in 2018 after 31 years in regional leadership positions representing Allstate. As a small business owner in the local community it is my mission to make a difference. My agency is made up of highly trained, experienced and compassionate team members that are experienced in helping individuals and families find insurance protection that fits their needs at a price that fits your budget. Our goal is to provide the personal touch and sound information on insuring what matters most to you. We do this because we care and very much want the customer experience to be easy, understandable and affordable

Giving back to this community is important to me. My agency supports several causes including the University of South Florida St. Petersburg and University of Tampa internship programs, Metropolitan Ministries, the American Cancer Society, Alzheimer’s Association, CASA, Southeastern Guide Dogs and the WFLA Rough Riders Teddy Bear Roundup. I'm also a member of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce.

I know and love life here in St. Petersburg as it has grown and changed over the years. On the weekends, you'll find me spending time with my family and friends while enjoying the amazing local area full of culture and beautiful weather.

If you are moving to the local area or live here and are just shopping to see how you can get the best value for your insurance dollar, please give us a try! We are just a click or phone call away! We’re located in downtown St. Petersburg, on the corner of 2nd Avenue South and 2nd Street South in the Signature building.

We also offer uninsured motorist coverage to help with your expenses if you’re hit by a driver without insurance. If you’re looking for coverage to help protect your vehicle, you might want to consider collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, which help pay repair costs if your car is damaged in a covered loss. And, optional coverages, like new car replacement coverage or loan/lease gap coverage help protect your investment in a brand-new car.
