Plymouth Rock offers online-self service policy tools from your account so you can accomplish the following:
Jim Stone founded Plymouth Rock in 1982. Stone, a former lecturer and Economics Ph.D. graduate from Harvard University, served as the youngest commissioner of insurance for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The company wrote its first policy on Jan.1, 1984, and reported its first net income in 1985.
Headquartered in Boston where Stone founded the company, Plymouth Rock expanded into New Hampshire in 1991 under the Mt. Washington Assurance Corporation. It entered the New Jersey market in 1992 and Connecticut in 2002.
If you need to cancel your policy, call Plymouth Rock at 800-437-5556 to process the cancellation. You will receive a refund of the unused portion of your paid premium if you cancel your policy before the current term expires, less a short rate penalty that may apply depending on your policy specifics.
Plymouth Rock accident forgiveness coverage is an à la carte coverage option that waives a surchargeable accident once every policy period. Applicable accidents occur during the policy term and involve a vehicle and household member listed on your policy. You must report the accident to Plymouth Rock promptly, and the operator involved cannot be listed as an excluded driver for the vehicle at the time of the accident.
