  • Collision. Helps with damage to your own vehicle from a crash.
  • Comprehensive. Helps with other damage, like theft, fire, hail or hitting a deer.
  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist. Helps if the other driver has little or no insurance.

Ohio law requires drivers to carry at least minimum liability coverage or another accepted proof of financial responsibility. Ask us what the current minimums are and whether they are enough for your situation.

Vehicles we insure

What affects your auto rate

Every company rates differently, but these things commonly matter: who drives, how old they are, their driving history, what you drive, how you use the vehicle, where it is kept, your coverage choices and your deductibles. We ask the questions up front and keep your information current, because a driver or vehicle left off the policy can be a problem at claim time.

Ways to review and lower your cost

  1. Compare. We shop several insurance companies for you.
  2. Review at renewal. Rates and coverage change. Our renewal review helps catch them.
  3. Bundle. Ask us to quote home, auto and umbrella together.
  4. Check your deductibles. A higher deductible may lower your premium, but only choose one you could comfortably pay.
  5. Keep us updated. Tell us when a driver, vehicle or address changes.

What to have ready for a quote

  • Each driver's name, date of birth and license number
  • Each vehicle's VIN, or the year, make and model
  • Your current policy details, so we can compare coverage and not just price

Frequently asked questions

How much auto insurance do I need in Ohio?

Ohio law requires drivers to carry at least minimum liability coverage or another accepted proof of financial responsibility. Minimums may not be enough to protect your savings or your home if you cause a serious accident. We can explain the current minimums and what higher limits would add.

What does auto insurance cover?

Auto insurance can include liability for injuries and damage you cause to others, collision and comprehensive coverage for your own vehicle, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and medical payments. Which ones you carry, and the limits and deductibles, are your choice within the policy.

What is the difference between collision and comprehensive?

Collision generally pays for damage to your vehicle from a crash. Comprehensive generally pays for other kinds of damage, such as theft, fire, falling objects, hail or hitting a deer. Both usually come with a deductible.

Can I insure a motorcycle, ATV, UTV, camper or collector car?

Yes. We help with personal vehicles, collector cars, motorcycles, ATVs and RVs or campers. Tell us how you use each one, where it is kept and how often, so we can match the coverage. Our article Demystifying Motorcycle Insurance is a good place to start.

How can I lower my auto insurance cost?

Compare quotes from several companies, review your coverage and deductibles at each renewal, ask about bundling with home or renters insurance, and keep your driver and vehicle information current. We shop it with you, and we explain trade-offs so you are not buying less protection by accident.

Will an accident or ticket raise my rate?

It can, and by how much depends on the company, your record and the details. After an accident, ask your agent when the accident may stop affecting your rate. Some companies offer extras like accident forgiveness. We can tell you what is available.

What do I need to get an auto insurance quote?

Have each driver's name, date of birth and license number, the vehicle identification number (VIN) or year, make and model of each vehicle, and your current policy details. We can also help you if you only have some of that handy.

Should I bundle auto with home insurance?

Bundling often makes service and claims simpler, and it may lower your cost. It is worth comparing both ways. We quote it both ways so you can see the difference.

What optional extras can I add to an auto policy?

Many companies offer extras such as rental reimbursement, roadside and towing, glass coverage with a low or no deductible, GAP coverage on financed vehicles, and accident forgiveness. Availability varies, so ask which ones fit your needs.

What should I do after an accident?

Make sure everyone is safe and call emergency services if anyone is hurt. Exchange information, take photos, and report the claim as soon as you can. Visit our Claims page, or call us, and we will walk you through the next steps.

Looking for something different?

This page is general information, not a quote or a policy. What a policy covers depends on its terms, limits and exclusions, so ask an agent to review your situation.

What our clients say

Layne Beasley is a phenomenal insurance agent who recently set me up with a great policy including my truck, Jeep, rzr, and motorcycle. I saved so much money with no hassle. Layne went above and beyond to ensure I received the best rates. Her professionalism and efficiency are outstanding qualities to find in an insurance agent. I had a wonderful experience with Stockton-Hill Insurance. Thank you, Layne!

Great team of professionals here at Stockton-Hill insurance. Very informative, patient, and dedicated to obtain the best rates for you!

For example, I contacted Stockton-Hill insurance at the beginning of the year; my insurance agent, Layne, informed me that my accident would be dropped in a few months meaning even lower rates would be available.

... Fast forward to yesterday- Layne contacted me (without me asking) to offer an even lower monthly rate, lower deductible, AND more services included since my accident had finally dropped.

...Did I mention without me even asking!?!?!?!

Now that's caring for your customers! Definitely recommend x 1000!!! 😉
