Auto insurance premiums are based on the likelihood of an accident happening. The Coronavirus is causing many people to stay at home and therefore drastically lowering the number of hours individuals are driving. Since fewer drivers are on the road, the chance of auto accidents has decreased substantially. Due to the stay-at-home mandates reducing the number of drivers on the road, over 82% of auto insurers have announced they will be issuing refunds to their customers, totaling over $6.5 billion in the next two months, according to the Consumer Federation of America.

These rebates can include refunds, credits or one-time payments. Most of these relief programs do not require us to do anything but will be automatically applied or credited to your payment method on file. We want to share with you 9 of the largest auto insurance companies offering rebates. These companies have stated that their clients will be getting a rebate on their insurance premiums. Below is a list in alphabetic order with a link to their website where you can find the specific rebates.

This list is not a complete or comprehensive list of ALL insurance companies.
