Definitely don't waste your time with them. I inquired about business insurance coverage in January, I filled out all paperwork in a timely manner, and responded to any additional questions quickly. I have since asked for an update 3-4 times, asking if I could be given a quote, with no response. Again, don't waste your time with Hummel Group for your business insurance inquiries.

Our family owned trucking company has been in business for 25 years. As we have grown through the years so have our insurance needs. Our agent, Jock Rottman and his team (Andrew & Tiffany) knew exactly what our needs were and have helped us keep up with the constant changing times in the trucking industry. Knowing that if we have questions or concerns they will call/email/text with a quick response which is very important in our business. It's reassuring to have Hummel Group as our agent.

The process of being a first time home buyer brings plenty of things to worry about, but my experience with Hummel and getting homeowner's insurance through them was something I didn't have to worry about. They were incredibly responsive and flexible and walked me through EVERY question I had to make the whole process super easy. I couldn't be happier with their work and definitely suggest anyone else looking for insurance talk to them--they earn business by doing things well.

The team at Hummel Group does an outstanding job of helping their clients decide which policy is right for their situation. We have multiple teenage drivers and Rachel was extremely helpful in navigating our options. The customer service at Hummel Group is excellent!

Hummel Group was instrumental in getting me started with home and auto insurance after I bought a house and got married. They are friendly, professional, and always available when I have questions. Rachel has been great to work with, and my experiences with the rest of the staff have always been top notch.

Awesome company! We have gotten our auto insurance with Hummel for the past four years, and we just bought our first home and Hummel added our homeowners insurance on for us flawlessly. We love their fabulous customer service and the staff that is so easy to work with!
