The agency

A family agency that has been in Sarasota the whole time.

AutoLife Insurance Group is independent, which means the office answers to its clients rather than to a single carrier. Five people run it, most of them raised on this coast.

In Mary’s words

“Your best coverage, to fit all your insurance needs.”

“Hello, I am Mary Dakkak and welcome to AutoLife Insurance Group. We combine partnerships with A-rated insurance carriers, unparalleled customer service, and our team of industry experts to provide your best coverage to fit all your insurance needs.”

Mary Dakkak, Agency Principal

From your car to your home, your business to your peace of mind, the office places auto, home, flood and commercial insurance designed to fit what you actually need. It is a full personal and commercial book, which is why most households here keep everything in one place.

In their own words

What clients say about the people here.

I've had property insurance with AutoLife Insurance Group for many years. Marissa proactively contacted me to suggest getting an auto insurance quote. I've been reluctant to the change in the past because I've had the same auto insurer for many years. But, this year, I agreed to getting a comparable quote. I am so glad I did, as the annual savings for comparable coverage was significant. I am highly satisfied!!

I had a fantastic experience working with Sarah for my auto insurance. She took the time to review my current policy, explained everything clearly, and found me better coverage while saving me money. The process was smooth, stress-free, and much easier than I expected. I truly appreciate her honesty, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Samantha McGraw, Google

I was in need of new auto and homeowners insurance. Jasmin Dakkak was amazing to work with. Very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. She broke everything down to me and helped me understand my policy. I'm very happy with my choice in insurance group and highly recommend auto life insurance!

Thomas Huesman, Google

Rosa's customer service has been outstanding. My agent is truly dedicated to her clients—she takes the time to explain everything clearly and never rushes through the details. Her patience, professionalism, and genuine care make the entire process easy and stress-free. I'm grateful to have someone so committed on my side. Five Stars Service!

Margarita Nowak, Google

The team at AutoLife Insurance Group are very responsive whenever I call or email with a question. I use them for insurance on a rental property, after my previous insurance company (USAA) stopped offering coverage for properties other than primary residences. They consistently find me reasonably priced coverage.

Marion Pandiscio, AutoLife Insurance Group

Christina at AutoLife has been amazing to work with. She helped us set up insurance for our home and cars, and made the whole process super easy. She's always quick to answer our questions and genuinely cares about finding the best coverage for us. We're really glad we found her. Truly the best insurance agency in Sarasota. Highly recommend!
