After meeting several social responsibilities and business requirements, Cross Insurance was authorized to now offer the popular insurance program.
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: HIG) announced today that it is making its award-winning AARP®-branded auto insurance program available through Cross Insurance.
Cross Insurance was chosen after studying a number of eligibility requirements, which included: demonstrating a commitment to community service, meeting a high-level of business ethics standards, and completing a training program designed to highlight the needs of the 50+ population.
“For 25 years, the industry-leading AARP-branded auto insurance program from The Hartford has been extremely popular,” said Michael Concannon, executive vice president, The Hartford. “Much of the success of this program is due to innovative product features and a commitment to truly understand and support our customers. We are thrilled to now be able to offer these benefits with our independent agent partners.”
According to research from The Hartford, the majority of AARP members prefer the advice and counsel of a local agent when making decisions about their insurance. Based on this research and strong customer demand, The Harford is offering the AARP-branded auto insurance program through select, authorized independent agents. These products were previously only available from The Hartford by phone, the Internet and by mail.
The AARP-branded auto insurance program is designed in consultation with The Hartford Advance 50 Team, which helps to tailor our products and services specifically to the interests and needs of Baby Boomers and older adults. Other unique hallmarks of the program include:
