VanVleet Insurance

I had called several competitors looking for insurance for my business. No one was as easygoing as VanVleet. They had me covered over the phone. I’ll go past recommending them. I’ll say, «If you go anywhere else, you’re cheating yourself!»

Have been a customer of VanVleet Insurance forever.
They are reliable, honest, responsive and easy to work with.
Erie has been fast and fair is settling my claims and they offer the best rates I’ve found.

I have been a customer along with my family at VanVleet Insurance for over ten years. We have always been impressed with their customer service and attention to detail. Anytime that we have had a question they have been prompt and courteous in helping us understand our policies and our options for when we have had a claim.
Brad, Eric, and Kelly are great to work with and I highly recommend you give them the opportunity to e

I’m still waiting to find an insurance agency not run by chimpanzees who just happen to look like humans.
My first experience with these people was around 1982 when Erie Insurance had two agencies in town and the other one took my hard-​earned cash and spent it on something other than my policy, allowing my policy to be cancelled.
I first met Joan Bartel, who used a posh type of Indiana accent to impress upon me that we had nothing in common. If she lived such a posh life, why was she an insurance agent? Having her name as half owner didn’t seem all that posh anyway.
She took care of my insurance and my parents in an adequate fashion.
Fast forward to late 2008 when I moved here again, and I met the other half, Brad VanVleet. He was much less condescending to me, perhaps because my address was just across the road from his, apparently. However, he was too busy to actually write the policy, so he handed me to Kyle Zaydel.
So, Kyle and I talked briefly, and he quoted the policy with Erie and Celina Insurance companies. The prices were much cheaper than Nationwide wanted (a small fortune, especially coming from Florida and Nationwide!), and I went with Celina, as it was the less expensive and supposedly gave great service.
Time has passed and when I have questions and send e-​mail, I get answers that take weeks instead of days from both Kyle Zaydel, and Kim Smith who has come to tend the policies. I just met with a Michelle today, concerning my mother’s estate and a transitional insurance as the house is vacant.
As this probably sounds chaotic and useless, they’re not horrible – disorganized perhaps – but not horrible. They’re probably extra popular, considering the low cost of the insurance provided by the companies they sell, and that keeps them on the edge of their seats.
