Your Trusted Huntington Beach Insurance Partner

With over 18 years of experience, we provide clear, dependable insurance solutions designed to fit your life.

J G Petit Insurance Agency is an independent, family-owned insurance agency in Huntington Beach, CA, serving families and businesses across Orange County and Southern California for over 18 years. Because we're independent, we compare coverage from many top-rated carriers to find the right fit for you — not a one-size-fits-all policy.

Our Mission

Building a safer, more secure future for families and businesses through expert insurance services.

An Independent Agency Rooted in Huntington Beach

Local roots matter in insurance. As a Huntington Beach agency, we understand the coverage that Orange County households and business owners actually need — coastal weather exposure, California's regulatory landscape, and the realities of protecting a home, a car, or a company here. Led by owner John Petit and a licensed team across personal and commercial lines, we explain your options in plain English and stay with you long after the policy is written.

How We’ve Made a Difference

“Agent guided me through the process of obtaining a new homeowners policy in a timely manner that met my needs at a competitive price.” – Rick S

“My agent was Michael Burke. He handled my request and any questions very professionally. He took whatever time was needed to explain my policies to me and the pricing options. Excellent experience! I would recommend him and the Petit Agency to my friends.” – Michael D

“John was extremely helpful in the process of getting HO insurance. He went the extra mile for me. My policy was cancelled by Nationwide back in September. I understand why HO insurance is becoming a dinosaur in California but I still wanted to have it.” – Racheline D

“Great service and very efficient.” – Chadwick B

“Meredith was great, as always. She thoroughly explained the added protections and coverages provided by an umbrella policy and answered all my questions regarding specific incidents covered. She was able to immediately give me quotes for various levels of coverage and showed me how to modify coverage limits on my auto and homeowners policies to obtain the optimized coverage relative to total cost. She quickly and efficiently got the policy and policy mods in place. Meredith was awesome!” – James H

“Great communication, personable, highly knowledgeable.” – Thomas P

“Met and exceeded my expectations.” – David D
