The Cincinnati Insurance Company offers stay-at-home discount to personal auto policyholders
Cincinnati Financial Corporation announced that two of its property casualty insurance subsidiaries, The Cincinnati Insurance Company and The Cincinnati Casualty Company, will offer a 15% personal lines auto credit for current policyholders.
Personal lines auto policyholders of Cincinnati Insurance and Cincinnati Casualty will receive a 15% credit per policy on their April and May premiums – pending regulatory approval. No action is required by policyholders to receive this discount.
“It’s taken all of us staying at home, keeping our distance and practicing strong personal hygiene to slow the spread of COVID-19,” commented Will Van Den Heuvel, senior vice president, Personal Lines. “We’ve seen a reduction in claims as a result of reduced driving. The Stay-at-Home credit reflects that reduction and supports our policyholders at a time when many are facing financial hardship.”
