About Us

Mission

La Salle Insurance & Travel Services Ltd. is dedicated to providing insurance products that provide quality protection with value pricing. We wish to further establish a successful partnership with our clients, our staff members, and our insurance companies, that respect the interests and goals of each party.

Success will be measured by our clients choosing us because of their belief in our ability to meet or exceed their expectations of price, service, and expertise.

We believe the keys to success are:

1. Maintaining knowledgeable, friendly staff that can exceed in providing customer service.
2. Providing policies that meet or exceed the expectations of our clients, and that are affordable, available, and understandable.
3. Ensuring policies and endorsements are delivered on time with minimal errors.
4. A commitment to an annual insurance review for all of our clients. A phone call is more than any direct mass marketer offers. We believe personal contact and service is the cornerstone of our success.

Our company’s strength lies in the quality and depth of our products and staff. Our offices, unlike our competition, are open six days a week, with extended hours of 8:00am to 9:00pm, Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:00am to 8:00pm and Fridays 8:00am to 6:00pm and Saturday’s 9:00am to 5:00pm. With our knowledgeable staff, we are able to service our clients even when a client’s broker is busy or out of the office on inspections.

Company Summary

La Salle Insurance & Travel Services Ltd. markets and services Automobile, Travel Health, Personal, Commercial and Farm Insurance. Our customers are both, urban and rural, and small to large business operations.

La Salle Insurance & Travel Services Ltd. is a privately incorporated company with two locations, one in the South end of the City of Winnipeg and the second in the southern rural town of La Salle, Manitoba and is licensed to transact both General Insurance and Travel Agency services.

La Salle Insurance & Travel Services Ltd. has been independently owned and operated by the Murphy family since early 1950’s. Brian and Brenda Murphy took over the business from the 1st generation and ran the operation from their home in Fort Richmond until 1980 at which time they relocated to the existing strip mall location, in a 620 square foot office. In 1998 they outgrew their space and moved to a larger office space of 1020 square feet, in the same mall. With the addition of the Travel Agency in 2000, they doubled their office space and now occupy over 2000 square feet in the same location. In the year 2000, they expanded their operations and opened the second location in La Salle, Manitoba, at which time they leased office space. Requiring more space at this location, Brian and Brenda built the existing strip mall location in 2003 to provide home to their current location.

Today, the third generation of the family is now involved. Sons, Jason and Adam Murphy, are both involved in the day to day operations, decision making and ownership of both locations.

We have stressed to our insureds the importance of good communication between the broker and client to insure proper coverage is in place. We have noticed as our clients become better informed about insurance that there has been a tremendous increase in clients wishing in-depth discussions about their policy coverage and how they can get the most value for their insurance dollar.

We also provide insurance services to non-clients, such as lawyers, mortgagees and auto dealers, to ensure our mutual clients have proper coverage and binding notes in place for the purchase of homes, businesses, and automobiles.
