Mississippi Personal Auto rate changes
New business effective: October 22, 2021
Renewal business effective:November 19, 2021
In order to bring customers the best product at a competitive price, we’re adjusting Auto rates in Mississippi effective October 22, 2021, for new business, and November 19, 2021, for renewals.
The overall rate increase will be 2.3%. Recent loss trends are driving up costs in Mississippi. Specifically, the costs to repair and replace vehicles have risen sharply this year, caused by a shortage in supply of cars and car parts. Additionally, driving frequency is up as many people are commuting to work and school.
While overall rates are increasing at the program level, individual rate changes will vary depending on a number of factors. Be sure you quote us every time to get the right rate for every risk.
Help customers reduce their overall costs:

Make sure to accurately record your customer's education level and occupation.
Ask for email addresses so that customers can sign up to receive the Paperless Discount.

Help us manage loss costs:
