Hooks Simmons Insurance, being an independent insurance agency, is better positioned to make good on this promise by working with 30 + insurance companies instead of one. Flexibility = more policy options, likely better pricing/value, and personalized guidance based on what you, the customer, actually need. Independent agents are also with you through your entire insurance journey and typically live and work near you - so you'll get ongoing support from personalized, local service.Does it cost more to buy insurance through an agent?No. Insurance premiums are set by the insurance carriers. One-way independent agents can lower costs is by making sure you are getting the coverage you need while not paying for coverage you don't need. Working with multiple companies makes it easier to do.How do I get a quote from you?You can request a quote Visit our office at 412 W. Lamar Street, Americus, GA 31709Phone: 229-924-2924

Absolutely. You have hit on the core reason why Hooks Simmons Insurance has been successful in helping people find the coverage they need at the right price. We work with offerings and pricing from multiple insurance carriers to find the right policy for you. More importantly, we take the time to learn about your specific needs.
That is generally true, but we would need to review exactly what you need and your specific circumstance. There could be situations where having coverage from two different companies makes sense. Remember, having a discount on home and auto might not be the best thing if you aren't protected the way you deserve.
You can always contact us to walk you through the process, but typically, you can go directly to your insurer to get fast results.
Payment: Yes, but it's faster to go through the insurance company directly.Proof of insurance: Yes, and you can also contact the insurance company directly.
