STA ST Paul Travelers

Travelers today announced the availability of commercial auto coverage for small to mid-sized businesses on a monoline basis through its Select Accounts, Commercial Accounts and Construction divisions. This expanded monoline auto program provides a high-liability commercial auto policy on a stand-alone basis even when the supporting lines of coverage do not qualify. �Agents often have trouble finding a desirable standard market for their commercial auto business. Our monoline program allows agents to separate the commercial auto coverage needs and consider Travelers as a better alternative,� said Bill Cunningham, president of Travelers Commercial Accounts. �This gives customers the benefits of a preferred market, including superior service, a vast network of claim professionals in all 50 states, and the comfort of knowing that the number one writer of commercial auto in the U.S. is standing behind them.� �The combination of high limits and additional coverage options through Travelers� Business Auto Coverage Extension Endorsement allows agents to offer one of the best commercial auto policies available,� added Todd Bateson, president of Travelers Construction. Travelers also simplifies commercial auto insurance for companies working in more than one state by covering multi-state exposures on one policy, a feature both commercial and construction customers often require.(a) A minimum of five vehicles to very large fleets can be covered individually or as a group. �Commercial auto is available to all Travelers agents, and our broad appetite for a wide variety of business classes opens the door for agents to increase their customer offerings and ultimately their business,� said Marc Schmittlein, president of Travelers Select Accounts. �They can underwrite the monoline coverage just as they would for coverage associated with another package by submitting accounts easily through IENetSM, Travelers� award-winning rate, quote and issuance system or through their local middle market field office.� About Travelers Travelers believes that life and business are inherently dynamic and that the best way to serve agents and policyholders is to provide insurance that helps them stay in-synch with their lives.
