Benefits and Savings of Your Auto Policy

If you have auto coverage with the AARP® Auto Insurance Program from The Hartford,1 your policy includes extra benefits designed especially for AARP members. These are some of the benefits included with your policy:
 
  • RecoverCare§ – Provides reimbursement for essential home services you can’t perform after a covered accident. This coverage can cover the cost of house cleaning, lawn maintenance, snow removal and food preparation.
  • New Car Replacement§§ – With The Hartford, you don’t need to worry about your new vehicle losing value the moment you drive it off the lot. If it is totaled in an accident, we’ll pay to replace it with no deduction for depreciation.
The Hartford also offers additional coverages for extra protection, including:
 
  • Disappearing Deductible – With this optional coverage, The Hartford will reduce your collision deductible over time. This is one of the ways we reward experienced drivers like you.
  • Accident Forgiveness – This is your assurance that if you’re involved in your first accident, that accident will be forgiven and your rates won’t increase as a result. To qualify, all drivers on your Hartford policy must have a clean driving record for five consecutive years.
 

Benefits and Savings of Your Homeowners Policy

Your homeowners policy offers protection beyond what other insurers typically offer, such as:
 
  • Retiree Credit  If you work less than 24 hours a week, we can help you save money on your homeowners insurance policy.
  • “New-for-Old” Protection – If your possessions are destroyed by a covered loss, we’ll help pay the actual cost to replace them with brand new ones of the same quality – even if your possessions were old or not in the best condition at the time of damage.
