Trusted Coverage, Trusted Locals
Since 2006, Howlett Insurance Agency has proudly served families and businesses across Hattiesburg — offering clear, caring guidance and insurance that protects what matters most. As a family-rooted agency, we believe insurance isn’t just about policies — it’s about peace of mind.
Our Story & Founder
Howlett Insurance Agency started with Ernest Howlett — a dedicated, one-man Health and Life insurance provider. Over time, with answered prayers and an unwavering commitment to service, that solo journey turned into a thriving, multi-line independent agency.
Backed by strong values and a family motto that means everything — “We’ve Gotcha Back” — our team has grown to meet Mississippi’s evolving insurance needs while keeping one thing unchanged: treating every customer like family.
Our Mission
To help our clients make smart, confident insurance decisions by providing honest advice, clear explanations, and coverage they can count on — all from people who genuinely care.
We Live, Work & Serve Right Here in Hattiesburg
Rooted in Community. Driven by Service.
At Howlett Insurance Agency, we don’t just serve this community — we’re part of it. From Main Street to Midtown, we know the families, the businesses, and the values that make Mississippi strong.
Our approach is simple:
Responsiveness
When you call, we pick up. No phone trees. No delays. Just real people ready to help.
