Safety Insurance Group, Inc.

Safety Insurance Group is a Boston-based insurer that writes auto, homeowners and business owners coverage in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire. It sells its policies through independent insurance agents, and policyholders can search for a local agent by name or location. Online tools let customers view policies, pay bills, report auto or home claims and get text or email alerts, and a paperless billing option sends notices by email.

For drivers, the Drive with Safety app tracks driving habits so families can talk about safe behavior on the road, and using it may qualify a policyholder for a telematics discount. Business owners can look at dedicated programs for contractors and restaurants. Community giving is a stated value: the Safety Insurance Charitable Foundation supports causes from food banks and homelessness to youth programs and medical research, and an employee gift program matches staff donations dollar for dollar.
