About Auto & General

Commitment, a word that people are afraid to use because it carries so much weight.

But we’re not…

At Auto&General we’re committed in making good and being there for our customers, partners, and brokers.  

Because sometimes all you need is to know that you are insured with an insurer that will be there.

There in the storm, there in the fire, there in the ash.

We understand that our clients' priorities may change and grow through their lifetimes, and we want to be there for them no matter what life stage they're at. That's why we've continued to expand our range of products to include personal, business, life, and value-added products, so that our clients' needs are met, no matter what those needs are.

Car, Home Insurance you can trust
