Mercury Offering New Homeowners and Renters Coverages and Discounts in Nevada


Los Angeles, Calif.-based Mercury Insurance announced five new coverages and five new discounts available for homeowners and renters in Nevada.

Mercury’s new coverages provide additional insurance protections with an option for environmentally-friendly replacement products. Discounts are available for homeowners already taking eco-friendly measures and will put hard-earned money back in the pockets of policyholders.

New coverages include:

  • Green Home: Mercury will cover up to an additional 10% of the replacement costs for environmentally friendly alternatives or construction methods with a covered loss. For example, if a homeowner with this additional coverage has damaged carpeting and selects an eco-friendly replacement, Mercury would issue funds up to 10% more than the costs to replace the carpeting so the homeowner can go with the green flooring option.
  • Matching of Undamaged Siding and Roofing: Mercury is providing two additional coverages—siding or roofing—that allow the undamaged portions to be replaced as well when there is a mismatch.
  • Refrigerated Products: The new protection covers up to $1,000 of food items if there’s a loss of power or a mechanical failure of a refrigerator resulting in spoiled food.
  • Limited Hidden Water, Steam Seepage or Leakage: Mercury is offering coverage that would apply to the resulting damages in these instances.

New discounts include:

  • Green Home: Mercury is offering up to 5% discount for all perils if the home has a Green certification by the U.S. Green Building Council LEED rating system or meets the requirements of the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Guidelines.
  • Updated Home: Homes more than 20 years old, with permitted renovations, such as HVAC replacement, re-roofing, remodeling, or a new addition, during the last 10 years are eligible for up to a 10% discount on the wind and water perils.
  • Good Payer: Homeowner policyholders who’ve paid on time for the past 36 months are eligible for the good payer discount, which saves 2% on the policy.
  • Paid in Full: Mercury is offering a discount of up to 10% in savings on premium for renters insurance policyholders.
  • Digital: This is a discount of up to 2% in premium savings for policyholders who sign up for the customer portal, paperless billing and paperless document directory.

Mercury is a multiple-line insurance carrier predominantly offering personal auto, homeowners and renters insurance through a network of independent agents in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia, as well as auto insurance in Florida.
