Imagine my surprise when I learned that Thiel had selected the absolute maximum, including every single bell and whistle, while claiming I was getting the best deal available. They hadn't executed changes I requested, and had made other changes without my authorization. I'll be handing my plan myself from here on out. Over a decade with them to learn they'd been taking advantage of me for years.
Elijia K.
Hunter was very easy to work with and handled every question I had (and there were quite a few) with patience and finesse. Very happy with how transparent he was!

We could not be happier with our choice to work with Thiel Insurance Group for our auto and home owner's insurance! Not only were they able to get us better coverage for a better price than we had with our previous insurance carrier, they found the lack of proper coverage in our prior home owner's policy could have cost us thousands of extra dollars had we had to file a claim. The team at Thiel Insurance Group is absolutely fantastic in regards to following up on questions or when policy changes need to be made. Let's face it, we're all just one severe storm or car accident away from needing to file an insurance claim. Knowing we have the team at Thiel Insurance Group not only for support, but as a partner in these times of need gives us a "peace of mind" that is priceless. Thanks again Thiel Insurance Group for the great products you represent, and the absolutely great team of people you employ, you are truly appreciated!

I needed to change all of my insurance policies and find a new trustworthy agency. The Thiel Agency in Appleton came highly recommended from a friend I can't say enough good things about my experience. Lisa was so kind and helpful before I stepped in the door. She set up a time for me to meet with Tyler. This was my first time shopping for policies on my own. Tyler truly looked out for my best interest while putting together policies that were tailored to my needs Tyler was not only knowledgeable, but efficient, answered all of my questions, and explained things I didn't understand. He was easy to reach and followed through with everything. I'm grateful to have had the chance to work with Tyler at The Thiel Agency in Appleton. Thanks for looking out for me!!

Cyndi A.
When I decided to switch insurance companies after 45 years, I asked friends who they recommended and I was given the name Acuity as a carrier. I hadn't heard of them but found Thiel Insurance Group in Appleton. I called and got an appointment set up right away with Kim. We met in person, which I wanted. I didn't want to sign up online, I wanted to meet and talk to an actual person. She answered all my questions, and I had quite a few since I had the same company for so long. I appreciated the time she took to help me and I felt comfortable that she understood me and would be there if I had questions or needed help in the future. I am glad I made the move, they make you feel right a home and appreciated!
Hannah M.
As first time homebuyers, we weren’t really sure where to start with homeowners insurance quotes. Hunter was beyond helpful - professional, knowledgeable, kind, and all around a great asset in this journey. He helped us bundle home and auto and found us a competitive quote. For anybody looking for insurance needs, Thiel Insurance is the way to go. I’ll 10/10 be recommending Thiel Insurance!

LeRoy D.
Our ins premiums were raised quite a bit from a national co so after 15 years with them it was time to see what what available. We'd rather have someone locally to work with so i found Theil ins on google. We're glad we did because they found us a company that gave much more coverage with less premium's and they were informative, fun, and painless to work with. Highly recomend them.

I wish I could give 10 stars!! I have to give a HUGE Thank You to Hunter at Thiel Insurance Group, LLC. We insured our camper through them roughly 6 months ago. Out of the blue we get a call from Hunter saying he found better coverage that's more affordable. He added that he did his homework and the company is great to work with. In the 30 years that I've had to pay for insurance, We've never had an agent call me unprovoked with better rates and coverage. Thank you again Hunter. We appreciate you and your attention to detail and for always looking out for your customers! 😃
