Coronavirus COVID-19: Mercury is Here to Help

© 2020 Mercury Insurance April 25, 2020

Customer Giveback Program

We recognize the COVID-19 crisis has altered driving patterns, resulting in fewer accidents and claims, so we
are giving back 15% of monthly personal auto insurance premiums, 10% of monthly business auto premiums,
and 15% of select commercial multi-peril policy monthly premiums for two (2) month-long periods. In California,
the giveback period calculation begins on March 19, coinciding with Governor Newsom’s stay-at-home order,
and in all other states it will begin on April 1. A credit will be applied to customer accounts in early May, and a
second credit will be applied in early June. This is an everchanging situation, however, so Mercury’s response
may continue to evolve as the pandemic continues.

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. Learn More
