Two auto insurance companies, Allstate and American Family Insurance plan to reimburse their customers millions of dollars because people are driving less during the coronavirus outbreak. \u201cAs circumstances change, the insurance industry is also required to make adjustments for agents and our clients,\u201d says Dustyn Shroff<\/a>, Vice President of GreatFlorida<\/a> Insurance<\/a>, Florida\u2019s leading independent auto insurance<\/a> agency.<\/p>\n

On Monday, both auto insurance companies announced they will reimburse their customers per car that a household has insured with the company. People are driving less and the auto insurance<\/a> companies are experiencing fewer claims.<\/p>\n

Other insurance companies are expected to do likewise. While
\nacknowledging it is probably not enough, insurance industry experts agree it is
\na good first step.<\/p>\n

State Farm says they will decide on premiums by the end of the week. While, Progressive says they are considering how to best return premiums to customers and will have a plan in place soon.<\/p>\n
