We recognize the COVID-19 crisis has altered driving patterns, resulting in fewer accidents and claims, so we are giving back up to 15% of monthly auto insurance premiums. The Giveback timeframe varies by state and more information can be found in the FAQs section of this page.
The COVID-19 pandemic has stretched our healthcare system to the breaking point, and frontline healthcare workers are facing ever increasing challenges as they push their physical and mental limits. Mercury Insurance is stepping up to help them meet this challenge by partnering with the California Medical Association on a new initiative, Care 4 Caregivers Now, which provides emotional wellness support and coaching.
Mercury recognizes the COVID-19 crisis has altered driving patterns, resulting in fewer accidents and claims, so we are giving back a percentage of premiums paid in various lines of business.
Mercury will be returning 15% of monthly personal auto insurance premiums, 10% of monthly business auto premiums, and 15% of select commercial multi-peril policy monthly premiums for the periods listed below. Please note that the Giveback for California customers will be 10%, beginning June 1, 2020.
For all states, other than New York, the credit is based on the number of days the policy was active during these periods.
No, you do not need to contact anyone to receive the Mercury Giveback. It will be automatically applied to your policy if qualified.
The credit will be applied to the next payment due or any outstanding balance on your policy. Should your policy be paid in full, a refund will be issued either in the form of a check or to a credit card on file.
All appropriate credits for the months of March (CA only), April and May, along with the June credit for NY/NJ customers has been processed. The credit for CA customers for the month of June along with the credit for CA/NJ customers for the month of July will both be processed the weekend of August 8.
