Ashland Insurance Your home, your business, your life, your income, your retirement, your car, your health, your family's health, and everything else you hold near and dear. Ashland Insurance is your one-stop-shop for all your insurance needs and for priceless peace of mind as we move into an uncertain future together. When Ashland Insurance was founded in Ashland, Oregon, in 1981, the Wilsons knew that connecting with their friends and neighbors would be the best way to grow their small-town insurance business. Nearly four decades later, their legacy continues-we're still locally owned, and we're invested in our community and committed to making a positive impact.

Services
Our agents live and work in the same community as you, and our local connections are strong. As a matter of fact, you've probably seen us around town, on the ball field, or at the grocery store. We're invested in our community and committed to providing you with premium insurance coverage that helps you feel safe.
At Ashland Insurance, we have a talented team of specialists ready to find insurance coverages that are a perfect fit for your family, business, or home. We seek out the best options the current market has to offer so you know you're always getting the most comprehensive coverages your money can buy.
You'd be amazed by all the places you're liable, from your home to everyone in your household to every personal item you own. It's time to take a long look at where you're exposed. Personal insurance is about identifying all the non-business areas you're vulnerable to financial damage, and making sure you're covered on all of them.
To satisfy your mortgage lender: Most mortgage lenders require you to have insurance as long as you have a mortgage and to list them as the mortgagee on the policy. If you let your insurance lapse, your mortgage lender will likely have your home insured. Compared to a policy you would buy on your own, the premium might be much higher and the coverage will be limited to damage to the structure of your home. The lender can require you to pay this higher premium until you get your own homeowners insurance again.

Tom Wilson went beyond to help me find the right insurance for my family. He spent a lot of time over the phone and was very patient. He helps you choose what is best for your family by asking a lot of questions. I highly recommend him!

I will be giving testimonials to Ashland Insurance, Russ Schweikert, and Jake LaMothe, for the rest of my life! They are our heroes! Jake helped us upgrade our insurance 3 months before the Alameda fire. Then, after the fire in which we lost our home, Russ and Jake provided the best customer service we could ever experience. Thank you Ashland Insurance!

We had been paying an arm and a leg to get dependent coverage, but one brief conversation with Tom Wilson from Ashland Insurance and I'm kicking myself for not connecting sooner. The phone call is free but I wish I could do more to thank their staff for their time and for helping to decrease the financial burden on my family while INCREASING our coverage! I've interacted with several of their staff (thanks Russ and Brian) and they are ALL friendly and eager to help!

I phoned Ashland insurance regarding auto insurance. I left a message with Jake, one of the agents. I didn't hear back for a couple of days so I phoned again. This time i spoke to Jake and explained that my current coverage was expiring so it was time sensitive matter. He told me he'd get quotes and phone back on Friday or Monday. I didn't hear back from him, so I phoned yet again on Tuesday.

I was informed that Jake was on vacation. I couldn't believe it. He made no mention of it in our call the prior week. The receptionist took my number and told me another agent would call me. That day I saw an ad for gabi.com insurance website. I applied online and got a policy that saved me $1,800. Took five minutes to fill out the application and I had the new policy two hours later. I've been waiting for the other agent to call me back so I could tell them that I already took care of it online. Three days later, I still haven't received the call.

I have been using Ashland Insurance for five years now, for my home, auto, and motorcycles. They have been great! I called my agent and told him I was buying a motorcycle - by the time I had finished the paperwork and paid the seller, I was insured on the bike! Fantastic service, amazing low prices.

First of all, I'm biased because this is my dad's company. BUT this gives me a lot of insight into how they operate and I can share some of that with you! - This is actually a family-owned company. The Wilson's have owned Ashland Insurance for decades and while they are retired, their sons and my dad continue their legacy and love what they do. - They are happy to quote your Insurance and if you can get it cheaper somewhere else, they tell you. - They explain the full benefits of insurance with them and if you're missing something on your current insurance and need to switch, they tell you why and how to get the best price for the most coverage. - They are actually licensed in many states all over the country, so you can get amazing insurance even if you have business/homes in multiple states.

This is unusual for a small Family-owned company! - They are much more concerned with amazing follow-up and treating their employees well than with trends or fads. They have over a dozen employees but it is not unusual for them to stay for decades! I highly recommend them not just because they're family, but because they do a really amazing job.

Matt Shilts at Ashland Insurance is knowledgeable and responsive. He does homeowners, renters and commercial coverage, and will review your coverage to see if he can save you money. If he can't do better, he'll tell you. And if he doesn't have the type of coverage you need, he'll refer you to someone who can help. It's that kind of customer service and integrity that make Matt my go-to insurance guy! He's licensed in California, too!

Matt Shilts at Ashland Insurance is my go-to guy for personal lines insurance. He's written coverage for several of my clients, and will take the time to review their coverage and make recommendations on how they can improve it. He can almost always beat other insurers' prices, and if he can't, he's honest enough to tell you. Highly recommended!

I use to love Ashland insurance, I was working with Steve for years when he left no one reached out to use a free multiple calls and emails I found out he no longer woeked the by this point k had lakes 3 months of insurance on a car I no longer owned. Then Lisa steped in and did an amazing job but now once again o can not get ahold of Lisa and I am now two months in paying insurance on a car I do not own. I wish the would reach out and tell me who I am being handed off to instead of being left in the dark.

I asked for a quote for workers comp for a small business. They submitted an application without my knowledge. The application had some misinformation in it. SAIF told me to call them to correct the application. I called them back. They didn't like my distressed attitude and said they were "choosing not to work with me." No resolution.

Mathew Shilts has declined to provide me with a insurance quote for a commercial insurance and tool theft policy.

I have worked with several agents in this office - Russ Swikert, Matthew Shilts, and Sue Carney. My experience with all of them has been pretty awesome. Each one has gone above and beyond for me, and demonstrated their high level of knowledge and commitment. I highly recommend Ashland Insurance for any insurance needs you may have. They work with many companies to find you the right coverage and something that will work for your budget.
