Co-Operative Insurance Companies’ has elected to temporarily reclassify as Offices the approximately one-third of its commercial business owner policy book’s small retail establishments or hospitality classifications in Vermont and New Hampshire (i.e., restaurants, B&Bs, inns etc.). Using a restaurant as an example, for at least the next 90 days, the company will be converting them from its highest-rated property class to its lowest-rated property class. This means that for restaurants that decide to keep operations going with takeout or delivery, the company is reclassifying those establishments as deli/pizza shops to account for the lack of dine-in service, generating a fairly substantial premium reduction at 30 percent from a full-blown restaurant. In most cases this will develop a refund to the insured. In addition, the company is refunding 20% of 3 months Personal Auto Premiums and waived personal auto deductibles for all essential workers involved in an auto accident until “stay at home” rules are lifted in its states of operation.

All premium and rate adjustments are subject to regulatory approval. The company also is committing $10 million to pandemic relief efforts globally.
