Insurance in Tupelo, MS

Lee County, MS

Mc-Wright Insurance Group serves Tupelo and Lee County from an office on West Main Street. We're an independent agency, so we compare home, auto and business coverage across multiple carriers instead of quoting a single company. Coverage terms vary by carrier and policy — an agent will confirm what applies to your situation.

Tupelo is the commercial center of our footprint, and the West Main Street office exists because a fair amount of the work here does not fit a phone call — business owners who want someone to look at a lease, homeowners closing on a house who need a quote before they are locked in.

Lee County is also a good argument for reading your policy rather than assuming it. FEMA’s National Risk Index ranks the county higher for earthquake than for tornado, which surprises almost everyone who hears it, and earthquake is typically not part of a standard homeowners form.

We write personal and commercial coverage across Lee County, and being independent means we shop it rather than defend one carrier’s answer.

Questions we get from Tupelo

Where is Mc-Wright's Tupelo office?
600 West Main Street, Suite E, Tupelo, MS 38804. It is a working office with licensed agents, not a mailbox — though the agency's main office remains in Belmont, where it has been since 1921.
What is the biggest hazard around Tupelo, according to FEMA?
It is not the one most people name. FEMA's National Risk Index scores Lee County 93.4 for earthquake and 86.8 for tornado. That is a measure of relative risk across US counties, not a prediction — and standard homeowners policies typically exclude earthquake, which is usually bought as a separate policy or endorsement. Worth asking about if you have not.
Why does my Tupelo policy have a separate wind and hail deductible?
Many Mississippi home policies carry a percentage deductible for wind and hail that is separate from the flat all-other-perils deductible, so a storm claim can be settled against a much larger number than owners expect. Whether yours works that way depends on the carrier and the policy form — check your declarations page, or ask us to read it with you.
Do you write commercial insurance for Tupelo businesses?
Yes. Commercial lines are a core part of what the agency does, including general liability, commercial property and auto, and workers' compensation. What a given business actually needs depends on its operations, so the useful first step is a conversation rather than a form.
