BATAVIA IL 6/13/2014 -The Hartford announced today that it is making its award-winning AARP®-branded
auto insurance program available through JACKSON INSURANCE GROUP in BATAVIA.
JACKSON INSURANCE GROUP was chosen after satisfying a number of eligibility requirements, which
included: demonstrating a commitment to community service; meeting a high-level of business and ethical
standards; and completing a training program designed to address the needs of the 50+ population.
"For more than 25 years, the industry-leading AARP-branded auto insurance program from The Hartford has
been extremely popular," said Jim Flynn, 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 through 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 Hartford 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 products and services specifically to the interests and needs of Boomers and older adults.
Other unique hallmarks of the program include:
o Lifetime Continuation Agreement - assures that the customer's insurance policy will not be dropped as
long as a few simple requirements are met.
o RecoverCare - helps customers pay for assistance with daily errands and responsibilities, like
cooking, cleaning, shopping, dog walking, transportation and yard work if they are injured in an auto
accident.
o Standard 12-month rate protection versus the traditional six month policies offered by most companies.
