Here's what you need to know

One call to the Harvard-dedicated quote line at 1-866-228-3516 and you can conveniently compare your current auto insurance to the discounts, coverage, and rates available from some of America’s top insurance companies.2, 3

 

This program does all the legwork for you, from providing multiple quotes to helping you easily switch coverage. Plus, you may be able to pay your insurance premiums through your company’s payroll deduction – another convenient perk.4

 

  • This program could save you time and money when shopping for auto insurance
  • The savings start with a special employee discount of up to 15%, which is not available to the general public
  • You could qualify for even more discounts for things like being a safe driver, bundling your auto and home insurance with the same company, having a hybrid vehicle, and more

 

When you call, a licensed insurance agent can help you find all of the discounts you qualify for – with no cost or obligation to you. If you find coverage you like better, you can even switch to a new policy over the phone so your savings could start right away. You can also compare and customize coverage by using the online tool. 

 

Experts recommend you review your auto insurance each year to make sure your coverage and rate reflect your current needs. Think about factors like new drivers in your family and mileage on your vehicle.

 

Also, insurance companies may change their pricing periodically, so it’s possible the lowest-priced plan on the market last year isn’t the lowest this year.

 

Using the Choice Auto & Home Program is a convenient way to make sure you’re spending your auto insurance dollars wisely. It could help you:

 

  • Pay for the coverage you really need and want
  • Have the right deductible for your priorities and budget
  • Take advantage of all the discounts you’re eligible for

 

The goal is not to be over-insured or under-insured, but have the “right-size” insurance for your needs and your budget. When you call, the licensed agent can help you find that.

You can use this service any time you like. You can get quotes – and switch companies – any time of the year without waiting until your current policy is coming up for renewal. If you decide to change to a new insurance company, your old company should refund the unused premium dollars you’re entitled to receive.

  • What if my employment status changes?

    Good news! If you leave or retire from your current employer, you can continue your coverage without interruption (subject to applicable law and the plan’s terms and conditions). Although payroll deduction will no longer be available, you can opt for other payment methods such as direct bank account deduction, credit card billing or home billing. Higher rates may apply.
