Hank Ellis Insurance Agency in Buckhannon is encouraging area drivers to ask about an auto insurance rate lock — an option that can hold a policyholder’s auto rate steady at a time when many drivers are seeing their premiums climb.
An independent insurance agency at 4 Northridge Drive in Buckhannon, Hank Ellis Insurance specializes in Erie Insurance products and writes across the full property and casualty line, including auto, homeowners, commercial, life, and flood coverage. The agency was founded in 2006 by Franklin “Hank” J. Ellis and Traci L. Ellis and remains owner-operated, giving local clients a direct line to Hank and Traci for quotes, claims, and policy questions.
Recognized by Erie as a high-performing agent, the agency also enrolls its policyholders in the ERIE YourTurn rewards program. Locally, Hank Ellis Insurance is the title sponsor of My Buckhannon’s weekly “Hank Ellis All-Stars” sports feature. The agency serves Buckhannon, Upshur County, and the surrounding region.
