State Auto Announces Plan to Help Customers in Response to COVID-19

In This Together Plan includes premium discount and State Auto Safety 360® discount for eligible customers

State Auto Insurance Companies (State Auto) customers with personal auto policies as of June 1, 2020, will receive a 5% reduction on their entire policy premium at their next renewal. The discount is one of three elements of State Auto’s In This Together Plan, which is focused on supporting customers through the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

State Auto’s In This Together Plan

● State Auto customers with personal auto insurance policies as of June 1, 2020, will receive an automatic 5% discount on their entire policy premium at their next renewal, pending regulatory approval.

● Customers with State Auto Connect personal auto policies also have the opportunity to save an additional 10% right away by enrolling in the State Auto Safety 360® program, which adjusts auto insurance premiums based on how customers drive, and how much they drive. With safe driving and fewer miles driven, customers can grow the discount to as much as 50% at their next policy renewal. (Safety 360 availability and discounts vary by state.)

● As it has since the beginning of the outbreak, State Auto will continue to work with customers who need flexibility when it comes to payments and payment plans.

“We’re committed to doing the right thing for our customers during this unprecedented time,” said State Auto President and CEO Mike LaRocco. “The 5% discount, along with potential savings from State Auto Safety 360, is a comprehensive approach to supporting our customers. Our In This Together Plan is not a short-term, stopgap measure. It acknowledges the uncertainty about what lies ahead while providing an opportunity for substantial savings to customers.”

While there’s nothing customers need to do to receive the 5% discount on their entire personal auto policy renewal premium, those interested in enrolling in State Auto Safety 360 should contact their State Auto independent agent.
