Fewer cars on the road mean refunds for many of our clients!

Safer at Home orders and social-distancing has kept many of us indoors and off the roads the past few weeks. There have been fewer and less severe auto accidents & claims filed, and that trend looks to continue as suspension of nonessential travel is extended.

Many of our insurance companies recognize this trend, and also want to do what’s right to help our customers during these difficult times. This began with the suspension of canceling policies for non-payment, waiving late fees, and assisting clients who are experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 with creative billing and payment options.

Another way that our insurance companies are assisting our clients during these unprecedented times, is by offering rebates/refunds on their April and May personal auto policy premiums – most commonly as a future credit applied to the client’s billing account or as a refund if the policy was already paid in the full for the policy term.
