Commissioner Andrew Mais of the Connecticut Insurance Department, called on insurers Monday to lower personal auto premiums and adjust commercial hired and non-owned auto insurance.  

“The emergency social distancing has resulted in fewer vehicles on the road, less miles being driven and reduced exposure to traffic accidents,” said Commissioner Mais. “Those are some of the factors that influence insurance premiums and consumers and businesses need financial relief.” 

The insurance department released a notice asking all insurance companies offering Auto and Motorcycle Liability Insurance in Connecticut, to make sure premiums reflect the reduced risk due to lack of drivers on the road.
