Services
Yoder-Bontrager Insurance was started by Alvin Yoder in 1957. Before he started writing insurance policies, Alvin owned a bookstore and paint depot with several of his brothers. A committed Mennonite, he founded the agency on the belief that insurance and financial services can be integrated with faith and stewardship.
Your home is the most important purchase you make throughout your life, and having the right insurance is key. It's easy to get caught in the "discount insurance trap" - but don't do it! Not all home insurance policies are created equal. We will work with you to understand your needs and help you find affordable insurance that's a good fit for you and your home.
Whether you have a perfect record or lots of traffic violations, we work with you to find the best available coverage. The kind of car or truck insurance you need depends on your vehicle, your record, and your budget. Our representatives will work with you to help you save where you can, and get you covered in the way that you want, be it comprehensive, collision, or liability.
The future is always uncertain, but that doesn't mean your family's finances have to be. Purchasing life insurance can ensure that your family is able to survive and thrive in the event of an unforeseen illness or accident. It's not a fun subject to think about or talk about, but if you have a family that depends on you, you need a responsible life insurance policy that guarantees those you love will be able to carry on if tragedy strikes.
Health insurance has changed dramatically since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Our health care system has always been complex, but even more so with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Understanding all of your options and requirements can be difficult. We specialize in guiding our clients to the right health care plan for them - whether they're shopping for their family, their business, or just themselves.

I am so glad I was recommended to Chris Minick for Home owners insurance! This was a first time purchase for me and his knowledge of the insurance business and friendliness made this a wonderful experience! He not only saved us two hundred a year on other quotes but made this quick and easy putting my mind at ease for our future! I highly recommend Yoder insurance company! Thank you again!

Chris Minick with Yoder Insurance in Hartville, OH helped me lower my car insurance rate. I had been trying to accomplish this for a year. He was timely in emailing me a comparison of my current policy and a new policy. The new policy was lower and he even lowered my current policy. During our correspondence I moved and needed renters insurance also. At this point we met to finalize the policies. He was courteous and took care of all my needs. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Chris Minick is my new Agent and I can’t begin to tell you what a great experience I had getting a very reasonable quote in a timely, professional manner! I saved $70 dollars a month by switching my Auto over to the insurance he recommended and got waaaay better coverage as well! If you’re looking to get great auto coverage at a reasonable rate, then I highly recommend you give Chris a call!

I've worked with Chris Minick for insurance on our home, auto, motorcycle, RV, ATV's for years. He always goes above and beyond to help our family ensure we have the appropriate coverage and the best rates available. He provides us with consistent, quick and knowledgeable responses. I've priced other insurance carries in the past and Chris is always a better value. I'd even pay a higher premium if it came down to it to stick with him. I've worked with other agents in the past and none have come close to the level of service he provides. If you're looking for a great agent that is always there for

We have been with Yoder-Bontrager for over 20 years and have always been satisfied. Recently we wanted to update our policies and worked with Chris Minick. He was knowledgeable and took the time to explain the benefits of adding an umbrella policy with having 3 teenagers on our auto policy. He was able to add more coverage to our home owners insurance, car insurance, and even with the addition of the umbrella policy he saved us $300 in insurance costs annually. Chris was personable and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a new agent and want to save money I highly recommend Chris!

If you want the best rate, best coverage, and best agent, you will call Chris Minick - simple as that. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful we are that we decided to call him. Chris was able to shop many different companies and not only save us money (a significant amount!!), but provide us with superior coverage to that of our previous policy or any other quote. Plus, he made the process super easy with his expertise and top-notch customer service!
We have found our agent for life and feel we would be doing a disservice to others if we didn't share our wonderful experience and recommend

Chris Minick assisted my family with establishing a home owners insurance policy for our new home. During the closing process estimates and communication were vital which Chris provided to the appropriate parties in a timely manner. We now use Yoder-Bontrager for both our home and auto insurance giving us excellent discounts. It's a pleasure to work with Chris because he is a friendly professional, and those are qualities that we value.
