BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Plymouth Rock Assurance, the customer-first, data-driven home and auto insurance provider of choice for the Northeast, has launched a revolutionary new digital product called @Home™ by Plymouth Rock. Independent insurance agents and homeowners in Connecticut can now receive home insurance quotes and purchase a policy through @Home™ in less time than it takes them to make a cup of coffee.
Anyone who has obtained a home insurance quote and purchased a policy has endured the lengthy and agonizingly confusing process that has been the industry norm for decades. Traditional insurance carriers require customers to answer dozens of questions that few people know offhand – like the age of the roof and the percentage of carpeting. Homeowners often receive inaccurate quotes because the data collection relies heavily on memory and guesswork. The experience discourages homeowners from ever shopping for a new policy again, leaving millions of Americans either without the protection they need or overpaying for coverage.
@Home™ revolutionizes the traditional home insurance quoting and buying process using technical innovations that provide fast quotes for virtually every home address in the six states in which Plymouth Rock operates, without the need for lengthy questionnaires. In most states, the home’s address alone is all agents and homeowners need to obtain a quote. Agents and homeowners are also able to customize coverage options based on their individual needs. Further, customers can feel secure working with an enterprise that has over 35 years of experience writing and managing home and auto insurance in the Northeast.
“Up to now, consumers have approached home insurance with the same enthusiasm they have for a root canal,” said Bill Martin, who leads Plymouth Rock’s home insurance business. “We’re taking a data-driven approach to pricing and removing the friction from the experience. As such, we’re enabling independent agents and homeowners across the Northeast to get a quote and coverage quickly and with confidence. Because it takes just seconds, there is no reason why homeowners shouldn’t consider @Home™ by Plymouth Rock.”
Plymouth Rock’s home insurance is backed by the expertise and rock-solid financial strength of the Plymouth Rock Group of Companies, which writes and manages over $1.4 billion in premiums. Few competitors offer the broad coverage or high level of customer service that Plymouth Rock provides its customers.
“@Home™ by Plymouth Rock is truly disrupting the way we do business. We are now able to provide our customers with an accurate home insurance quote in seconds and bind a policy in minutes,” said Joe Hughes, owner of Connecticut-based Hughes Insurance Agency, Inc. in Prospect. “As a result, we’re making our customers happier, saving time while also providing a high-quality product at a value price including many bundled coverage options.”
In addition to Connecticut, @Home™ is also available in New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For more information or to obtain a quote, visit www.plymouthrock.com.
