Why ERIE Agents?

A local expert in your community

Working with an ERIE agent isn’t just about insurance, it’s about having someone local in your corner. They understand the risks, weather and everyday realities of your area, so their advice actually fits your life.

Since they live in your community, they care about it, too. ERIE agents are local small business owners, coach sports, support local events and volunteer their time with organizations near and dear to your heart.

There are 14,000 ERIE agents across our footprint dedicated to taking care of their customers and the communities they live and work in. Our agents embody one of ERIE’s founding principles: “Never lose the human touch.” This value was at ERIE’s core in 1925 and still is today over 100 years later.

Saving time, adding value

Insurance is complex. Let an ERIE agent help you weigh coverage, service and cost so you’re not guessing or spending hours researching on your own.

It’s a smarter, more efficient way to find coverage that actually fits your needs. Not to mention, they’ll walk you through the fine print, answer your questions and help you feel confident in your choices.

When you need to file a claim is when coverage and the work you and your agent put in matters most. Your ERIE agent will also be there as an invaluable resource when you’re navigating the process.

A real person who cares

To an ERIE agent, you’re more than just a customer. An ERIE policy comes with something you won’t get from a website alone: a real person who knows your situation and is there to help when you need it.

An ERIE agent’s job doesn’t stop at making a sale. They’ll help guide you even after you get your policy. They’ve been there for the highs and lows in their customers’ lives. They’ve celebrated the best of times, like purchasing a new car or home and welcoming a new baby to the family. And they’ve been there for the lows, like a fender bender, house fire or the death of a loved one.

When ERIE agent Tim Hrobart first wrote a policy for a new customer and her husband, she was skeptical of insurance. Years later however, she was glad to have Erie Insurance and an advisor, and friend, like Tim when her house was burning down.

Whether you prefer to meet face-to-face or connect virtually, you’ll always have a knowledgeable advisor who’s easy to reach. One who genuinely cares.

The ERIE difference

Once you work with a local ERIE agent, the difference is pretty clear. They take the time to understand your needs, explain your options and stick with you as life changes.
