Quais seguros aceita?
The verb must agree with the subject “você”, not with the plural noun. The correct order is “você aceita seguros”.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil it is common to specify the kind of insurance (e.g., seguro saúde, seguro viagem, seguro de carro). When speaking to a professional in a formal setting, you may replace “você” with “o senhor/a senhora” for extra politeness. Also, many establishments have a list of accepted insurers posted at the reception.
