Plymouth Rock Assurance, the customer-first, data-driven auto and home insurance provider of choice in the Northeast is a technology innovator, leveraging the tools often seen in the insurance tech space to create a better experience for both independent agents as well as for their direct customers. Insurance carriers and agents often find it challenging to stay up-to-date with the constantly changing insurtech sphere, but Plymouth Rock is on a mission to stay ahead of the curve by prioritizing unmatched user experience and exceptional service.
Founded in 1983, Plymouth Rock uses decades of experience and knowledge to continuously improve its features, helping users navigate the challenges they often encounter while purchasing insurance.

Plymouth Rock has the fastest quoting tool in the home insurance business, taking only seconds to generate a bindable quote for most applicants.
Obtaining a quote for homeowner’s insurance is traditionally a lengthy process, as carriers question customers in detail about insurance coverages and construction of the home, such as heating and electrical components, etc. However, often, customers do not know the correct answer, resulting in a quotes that may later have to be revised. Plymouth Rock’s Home solution accelerates the home quoting process. Using information from various data sources, Plymouth Rock generates bindable quotes for every house.
An inconvenient, albeit important, part of the underwriting process for home insurance is inspections. Instead of scheduling home inspection visits, Plymouth Rock gives many of its customers the option to use Plymouth Rock’s app to take pictures and provide information about their homes when it’s most convenient for them.
