Wiki Says

The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., is one of the oldest continuous businesses in the United States, still operating within its original industry. It was the original name of a property-liability insurance firm born in 1852. It remained a publicly-traded company under that name until the early 1990s, when it changed its name to Allmerica Property & Casualty Companies.

In 1996, it spun off Allmerica Financial Corporation as a property and casualty insurance and financial services holding company, which then bought out the original firm and grew to become one of the 500 largest publicly-traded companies of the United States. In 2005, Allmerica Financial Corporation reverted its name back to Hanover.

Hanover Car Says

Hanover goes beyond ordinary liability coverage, providing a broad range of options:

  • Liability insurance covers property damages and bodily injury to others, up to the policy limits.
  • Medical Payments Coverage, for reasonable medical expenses incurred from an auto accident, including injuries caused by uninsured or hit-and-run drivers.
  • Collision coverage, for auto damage caused by a collision with another vehicle or object.
  • In addition to collision coverage, the comprehensive option pays for actual cash value of new cars stolen within six months of purchase.
  • Optional “Other-Than-Collision” coverage in the event of a collision loss. Depending upon the car’s value and other factors, it may be wise to add fire, theft, vandalism, or other non-collision coverage.
  • Optional Towing, for when the vehicle is disabled by an accident.
