Coverage Options for Athens Residents and Business Owners
Whether you own a home near Ohio University, run a small business on Court Street, insure a rental property in the area, or are approaching Medicare eligibility, we have the coverage lines to help.
Coverage for Every Part of Your Life in Hocking County
Home and Auto Insurance
Athens homeowners face a mix of older housing stock, weather exposure, and varying property values that make coverage selection more nuanced than it might appear. We shop your home insurance across multiple carriers to find the right fit — not just the lowest number.
For auto insurance, we do the same: compare rates and coverage structures across our carrier portfolio so you're not leaving protection gaps in exchange for a lower premium.
Renters Insurance
If you're renting in Athens — whether near campus or elsewhere in the county — renters insurance covers your belongings, personal liability, and temporary living costs if something goes wrong. It's one of the most affordable policies we offer, and one of the most overlooked.
Short-Term Rental and Vacation Property Insurance
Athens County and the broader southeastern Ohio region attract visitors year-round, and many property owners have turned homes and cabins into short-term rentals. Standard homeowners policies typically don't cover commercial rental activity — and that gap can be costly.
We hold a statewide specialty in vacation cabin and short-term rental insurance, serving property owners across all 88 Ohio counties. If you rent through Airbnb, VRBO, or directly, we can build a policy that covers the activity you're actually running.
Business Insurance for Athens-Area Businesses
Athens has a diverse small business community — restaurants, contractors, retail, professional services, and more. We offer a full range of commercial coverage lines, including general liability, commercial property, business owner policies, contractor insurance, and commercial auto.
If you run a restaurant or food-service operation, we also offer restaurant-specific coverage that addresses the particular risks of that industry.
