Pros

  • Citizens does offer personal property insurance, commercial property insurance, and casualty insurance

Cons

  • Citizens auto insurance is not available

The Bottom Line

Citizens Insurance — short for Citizens Insurance Company of America — was founded in 1915. It’s a subsidiary of The Hanover Insurance Group. Based in Worcester, Massachusetts, Hanover is one of the top 25 providers of property and casualty insurance in the United States. The company was founded in 1852 and its current CEO is John Roche.

Unlike Citizens, Hanover does provide auto insurance. This can lead to some confusion, so let’s get one thing straight: If you’ve purchased auto insurance through this company, you’ve purchased it with Hanover auto insurance, not Citizens.

Citizens’ parent company, the Hanover Insurance Group, is based in Worcester, Massachusetts. Hanover home insurance is available throughout the United States.

Unfortunately for drivers looking for a new policy, there is no such thing as Citizens auto insurance. Citizens is not an auto insurance company, which means there are no Citizens auto insurance rental car coverage, no Citizens auto insurance roadside assistance, and no Citizens auto insurance rebates.

Citizens is based in Howell, Michigan, and it primarily provides insurance to policyholders in the Midwest. It’s possible, therefore, that customers closer to the coast may have never heard of Citizens Insurance. Grand Rapids, MI, for example, is a popular location for Citizens.

Great company, great services.

Very good service, easy to deal with and respectful. I don't have any claim in Auto Insurance, but my home owner Insurance gave me very good impression.

Fast, Professional Service

I have had a claim and was amazed at the service in getting it handled. I had a fender bender at 11 AM and by 2 PM I had dropped the car off at the dealership repair shop and all the details were taken care of. Can't beat that for service.

When all prices were in, I went with Hanover Ins. Group .

I was checking the prices for house and car insurance which I do every two years, to make sure the prices I was paying were in line. I thought the company that I had been with for 25+ had gotten very high. I took my current present policies, so everyone would price me with the same level of insurance protection. When a companies gave me their Quotes Hanover Insurance came in the lowest.

Trustworthy

They’ve been there every time I’ve needed them. Excellent customer service experience so far. I had bought a hybrid vehicle & the wiring is almost like food to rodents & I couldn’t believe it and it happened again days later to the rental, also a hybrid. This all happened right when the first wave of the pandemic hit & my experience with all the parties, with the exception of the dealership, was wonderful
