Horace Mann Lowers Auto, HO Rates for Ca. Teachers

Horace Mann Educators Corp. has lowered auto and homeowner insurance rates in California effective Sept. 1, 2005. The rate reductions apply to customers and prospects who are members of the education community.

“We are extremely pleased to reduce rates for educators who give so much to our community,” said Doug Reynolds, executive vice president, property and casualty. “The facts prove that teachers are a better insurance risk with fewer claims, so we are passing the savings along by reducing their rates.”

Horace Mann, based in Springfield, Ill., is the largest national multiline insurance company focusing on educators’ financial needs — providing auto and homeowners insurance, retirement annuities, life insurance and other financial solutions.
