Our Team

At our agency we build lifelong relationships by providing the responsive and personalized customer service and affordable insurance to our customers. Give us a call and we’ll be happy to provide you an “apples-to-apples” comparison of your current insurance and our offerings.

I am in the process of buying a home on Staten Island and the seller's agent recommended Bentson Insurance for both property and flood insurance. I dealt with multiple agents and they were all very helpful. We ended up with two policies that were half the price of what my former insurance broker from Westchester offered me. A special call-out to Melinda Hines, who went out of her way to deal with my lender and their unusual requests. We are now all set for the closing with minimal work on my side.

I have been utilizing the Benson agency for several years now for all my insurance needs. The past year Melinda has gone above and beyound to navigate the insurance process effortlessly for me. She has always helped me immediately find the policies I require. Melinda's extra care into aiding me through even the most difficult and frustrating situations for finding the best insurance has been an amazing experience. I would be lost without the support and fast guidance. As a single parent my time is limited and precious, she has provided me with the support to make our live seemless and insured!

"For honest, reliable and courteous service from a highly professional staff of knowledgeable individuals, visit the Allen C Bentson Agency. They will work hard to find the right insurance product that fits your needs at the best price. Kudos to Doreen for excellent customer service, and highest regards to Mr. Bentson for outstanding service to the NYC community!
