Charlie Drain Insurance Agency

Proudly served 8 years in the U.S.A.F., first as a Security Specialist on a Special Security Flight Team and finished the last half as a member of an elite team in a T.A.C.P. unit providing both liaison and advice to Army ground commanders and Close Air Support for the United States Army ground units. Eight years in the United States Air Force taught me a lot of things. Discipline. Integrity. Showing up for the people counting on you.

Charlie Drain is great to work with! I highly recommend him for your insurance needs. We specifically use him for our commercial vehicle insurance which can have a lot of moving parts. Charlie replies promptly, answers our questions and genuinely cares about our experience & making sure we have the proper coverages we need. Thanks again Charlie for taking the pain out of commercial auto insurance!

Owner's reply
Jarrod, thank you for this! Commercial auto is one of those coverages where the details really matter — one vehicle change, one added driver, one wrong classification, and you can end up underinsured without knowing it. I'm glad I could take that off your plate. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this, and I'm always just a call away if anything on your fleet changes. Thanks for trusting me with it! Charlie

Aubrey, thank you so much for this! Making sure my clients feel taken care of is what I care about most, so this means a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and I'm always just a phonne call away if you need anything.-Charlie

I have paid around 140$ for my car insurance.Been paying it since January 2023. I did check on lower prices and they told me to stay where I was cause they would be higher.So I just kept paying it. So I decided to to look again. I called my mom’s insurance guy Charlie Drain. I was very pleased with him, very nice and explained everything to me. Not only was he great he saved me a good amount of money. I will definitely recommend him. He is a person that is willing to take the time and get you what you need.

Owner's reply
Thank you for the 5 stars Vicki..! Always a pleasure serving your mom/family!!! And I'm so glad you decided to make that call — and tell your mom I said thank you! 😄 That's exactly the situation that gets me fired up. You were paying what you were paying because someone told you it was the best you could do, and it just wasn't true. You deserved better, and I'm glad I could prove it. That's why I always say it's worth a second opinion — you never really know until someone actually shops it for you. Welcome aboard, and don't hesitate to reach out anytime you need anything! — Charlie

My entire experience with Mr Drain has been great. I worked with him several years with my car insurance. He has always been extremely helpful, responsive, friendly every single time. He has never let me down or feel like I was bothering him, wherever I contacted him from. I am forever grateful I wish I could have continued working with him from Oklahoma!! THANK YOU MR. DRAIN FOR EVERYTHING!

Owner's reply
Leroy, this one means a lot. Thank you for the kind words and for trusting me with your car insurance all those years. Honestly, it was easy — you made it easy. Sorry we couldn't follow you out to Oklahoma, but I hope you find an agent out there who treats you half as well as you deserve. Congrats on the move, and if you're ever back in Ohio, you know where to find me. Take care, my friend!

Charlie was very easy to work with. He went above and beyond to not only save me $400 on my home and auto, he also did the same for our youngest son who just moved out and is now on his own home and auto insurance plan. Thanks so much Charlie!

Owner's reply
This made me smile Paul— thank you! Saving you $400 is exactly what I'm here for, and getting your son set up right as he's starting out on his own? That's the stuff I love doing. Congrats to him on the new chapter! You know where to find me if you ever need anything. Thanks again for trusting me with your family! 🙏

Charlie was very thorough in all the details of the coverage and made us feel confident in our choice. Very knowledgeable and we learned so much. Thanks Charlie!

Owner's reply
Hi Lisa..! Thank you so much for the kind words! I really enjoy walking through the details with folks — insurance can feel like a foreign language sometimes, so making sure you actually understand your coverage (not just sign on the dotted line) is important to me. Welcome to the Charlie Drain Insurance family! Don't hesitate to reach out anytime you have questions — I'm just a call away

Charlie, thanks for looking into insurance coverage for me. After much back and forth, I decided to stay where I was. I appreciate your effort on my behalf. Roberta

Owner's reply
Ha — I'll happily take 'tall order' as a compliment! Thank you so much for the kind words. That's honestly what I'm here for. Insurance can be confusing, and you should never feel like your questions are a burden. Ask away — every time. Getting you to a place where you feel confident and happy with your coverage is the whole goal. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Looking forward to being your agent for years to come! 🙏

Our family has been clients of Charlie Drain Insurance for both our Homeowner and Personal Vehicle Insurance needs for several years. Charlie has exceeded our expectations by providing exceptional personal service. He listens to us and asks questions to ensure he can provide that exceptional service. He is very diligent in finding the most comprehensive as well as affordable coverage to ensure are insurance needs are met. If you are looking for an agent that genuinely provides consistent personal service, we strongly recommend reaching out to Charlie.

Owner's reply
I've genuinely loved working with your family over these past several years — it means a lot that you'd take the time to write this. Listening and asking the right questions is honestly half the job, because I can't find you the right coverage if I don't actually understand what you need. Finding that balance between comprehensive and affordable is something I take seriously every renewal, not just when you first sign up. Thank you for sticking with me all this time and for the recommendation, I don't take it for granted. — Charlie

Charlie was great! This was my first time leveraging an independent agent for car insurance and I will never go back. Not only am I paying less for my car insurance, but my coverage is far better and I feel safer on the road because of what Charlie was able to find for me. He helped walk me through the entire process and I couldn’t believe what he was able to help find. Highly recommend Charlie for any car insurance related inquires

Owner's reply
This one means a lot to me! Helping someone go independent for the first time and actually seeing the difference it makes — better coverage, lower price, more peace of mind — that's the whole reason I do this. I knew once I dug into your options there was a better way to go, and I'm glad I could prove it. Thanks for trusting me through the process and for the recommendation, I really appreciate it. Drive safe out there! — Charlie

Charlie was an amazing help in getting quotes for our insurance and did not waste a minute on helping us find the best deal. He was intentional with getting us the best service we could have imagined and was so quick to answer our calls in a very timely manner. If you want to deal with someone that cares about you as a person you need to give Charlie a call ASAP!

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for this — honestly, reviews like this are why I do what I do! You deserved someone in your corner who was actually going to dig in and find you the best deal, not just hand you the first number that came across the screen. I'm so glad the experience felt that way. And hey, I'll always pick up the phone — that's a promise! It was truly a pleasure working with you, and I'm here anytime you need me. Don't be a stranger! 🙏
