Western National Announces Personal Auto Premium Relief Program & Payment Flexibility

(Minneapolis, Minn.) Western National Insurance Group today announced a new Personal Auto Premium Relief Program in recognition of the fact that, among many other impacts of the COVID-19 situation, many Personal Auto policyholders are temporarily driving less as the result of “stay at home / shelter in place” orders. Western National will be offering premium relief in the amount of 15% on Personal Auto policyholders’ premiums for April and May.

The full details of that Personal Auto Premium Relief Program, which remains subject to regulatory approval, will be confirmed and communicated to policyholders and Independent Insurance Agency partners in the coming days.

In addition to this Personal Auto Premium Relief program, the following new programs have been put into place to ensure flexibility for customers of Western National:

“While the COVID-19 situation has been challenging for everyone, we are confident that measures like these will help ensure that Western National customers’ obligations do not pose an undue burden during this difficult and uncertain time,” said Stuart Henderson, Chief Executive Officer. “We remain committed to working with our policyholders, agency partners, and employees to get through these challenges together.”

The actions above apply to customers of the following standard property-and-casualty companies: Western National Mutual Insurance Company and Umialik Insurance Company.

Western National Insurance, headquartered in Edina, Minn., is a super-regional group of property-and-casualty insurance companies providing personal and commercial coverage in 20 states across the Midwestern and Western U.S. as well as in Alaska; and surety bonds in 32 states. The Group writes over $660 million in Direct Premium through eight active insurance companies—Western National Mutual Insurance Company, Western National Assurance Company, Pioneer Specialty Insurance Company, Western Home Insurance Company, Arizona Auto Insurance Company, Umialik Insurance Company, American Freedom Insurance Company, and Nevada General Insurance Company—and through one affiliate, Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance Company.
