Owner-occupied home
Use the homeowners path when you live in the residence. Start with the property address, occupancy, requested effective date and current policy information when available.
Hershey, Pennsylvania insurance
Independent insurance agency serving Hershey, PA.
Platinum Guard serves Hershey and the surrounding Derry Township area from our Elizabethtown office. Property requests start with occupancy and use; auto starts with the drivers and vehicles; business requests start with the actual operation and deadline.
Platinum Guard does not maintain a Hershey office. In-person consultations are available at our Elizabethtown office by appointment.
Occupancy
Hershey property requests start with how the property is actually used.
Rented to others
Use the landlord path when the property is rented to tenants or otherwise held as a rental exposure.
Vacant, renovating, or changing use
Disclose vacancy, renovation, construction, or a change in occupancy separately. Those facts can change eligibility and policy structure and should not be silently converted into a landlord request.
Local decisions
Hershey property and business questions that change what we ask next
Home-based business
Derry Township directs residents with questions about operating a business from home to its Community Development process. That zoning or administrative question is separate from insurance. Tell the agent what work is performed at the residence, whether customers visit, and whether business property, employees or vehicles are involved so personal and business exposures are not assumed to be the same.
Renovation or project work
If a renovation, contractor, permit, lease, or project creates a certificate or insurance requirement, send the exact document. The project requirement should be reviewed as written rather than turned into a generic homeowners or business request.
Personal vs commercial vehicle use
Household driving belongs on the personal-auto path. Business ownership or regular business use belongs on the commercial-auto path.

Hershey insurance questions
Questions Hershey shoppers ask before starting
These answers keep Hershey occupancy, home-business and project requests specific—especially vacancy versus landlord routing.
Does Platinum Guard have a Hershey office?
No. Platinum Guard serves Hershey from the Elizabethtown office at 206 S Market Street, Suite 204. In-person consultations are available there by appointment.
Is a vacant Hershey property automatically landlord insurance?
No. Rental occupancy, vacancy and renovation are different facts. Tell the agent how the property is currently used and what is changing so the appropriate market and policy structure can be reviewed.
What if I run a business from my Hershey-area home?
Describe the business activity separately from the home request. Personal property coverage should not be assumed to cover business operations, customers, equipment, employees or business vehicles.
Can I request home and auto together?
Yes. Start with the policy that has the earlier deadline and note the second need so the agent can coordinate the review.
Start with how the Hershey property, vehicle, or business is actually used.
A short request is enough to begin. The agent can collect deeper carrier-specific information after the correct insurance path is clear.
