Commercial Insurance & Employee Benefits
National Experts in Self-funding
Who We Are
Our story began in 1986 with a handshake between two friends. The agency they built is small but mighty–mighty enough to consult for major employers and PEOs, but small enough that we still hand-deliver homemade cookies to our commercial clients every Christmas.
Kern Island Insurance equips employers across California and other states with commercial insurance and excellent employee benefits to attract and retain the best employees. We are committed to a relentless pursuit of unquestionable excellence with local, personalized service.
We are proudly headquartered in Bakersfield, California in Kern County.
