Getting started
How do I get an insurance quote?
Click Get a Quote on any page, or call (740) 642-3333, or text (740) 688-3050. An agent will follow up. It helps to share your current policy summary or declarations page, so we can compare coverage and not just price.
What is an independent insurance agency?
An independent agency is not owned by one insurance company. We work with many companies, compare options for you, and can change companies if your needs change. Stockton-Hill Insurance is an independent agency.
What types of insurance does Stockton-Hill offer?
Personal insurance (home, auto, watercraft, umbrella, valuables), life insurance and Medicare questions, and business insurance for contractors, campgrounds, restaurants, rentals and many other industries. See our Services page.
Can I switch to Stockton-Hill from my current agent or company?
Yes. Most people switch at renewal, but you can talk to us at any time. We help with the timing so you have no gap in coverage. Do not cancel your current policy until your new one is in place.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Kingston, Ohio, and we serve clients in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
What are your hours and how do I reach you?

Your policy and renewals
How do I get an insurance ID card?
Sign in to the Client Center, which lists ID cards as one of its features. You can also call or email us and we will help you get one.
How do I request a change to my policy?
Use the Request for Change option in the Client Center, or call (740) 642-3333 or email inquire@stocktonhillinsurance.com. Tell us about new drivers, vehicles, addresses, remodels or anything else that has changed.
How do I get a certificate of insurance?
The Client Center includes a Get Certificates option. For business accounts or special wording, call us and we will help.
What is the renewal review, and do I have to fill it out?
The renewal review form lets you confirm or update your information so we can look for gaps and possible savings before you renew. If you choose not to complete it, we assume nothing has changed and proceed with your current coverage.
Why did my premium go up at renewal?
Rates can change for many reasons, including claims across the market, rebuilding costs, and changes to your drivers, vehicles or home. Call us before you renew and we will review your options. Our articles on home insurance renewals and Ohio home insurance trends explain more.
Claims
How do I file a claim?
Report it as soon as you can. You can file directly with your insurance company through the claim links on our Partners page, or use the form on our Claims page and an agent will help. Our team stays involved from start to finish.
What should I have ready when I report a claim?
The date and time, where it happened, what happened, photos or other documentation, and the names of anyone involved. Having these ready helps your insurance company move faster.
Will Stockton-Hill still help after I file?
Yes. Your insurance company manages the claim, and we stay involved to explain your coverage, help with communication and advocate for you if issues come up.
Paying your bill and online access
How do I pay my bill?
Many customers pay through their insurance company's website. Find your company on our Partners page to go to its sign-in page. The Client Center also lists Make Payments as a feature. Not sure where to pay? Call us at (740) 642-3333 and we will point you to the right place.
What is the Client Center?
It is our online customer service portal. It lists ID cards, change requests, payments and certificates. Use the Client Center link on our website, or call us if you need help signing in.
Life insurance and Medicare
What kinds of life insurance can you help with?
Term, permanent and blended coverage. Term protects you for a set period, permanent lasts a lifetime and builds cash value, and blended combines the two. Our life agents explain each in plain English. See life insurance.
Can you help with Medicare questions?
Yes. Jade Hoffner, our Medicare Specialist, can help you with Medicare questions. Call (740) 642-3333 or email jade@stocktonhillinsurance.com.
