The Hanover Insurance Group THG is expanding its motorcycle and off-road vehicle (ORV) insurance offerings across multiple U.S. states as part of its broader strategy to strengthen its total account insurance model. The expansion increases availability of motorcycle coverage into Maryland and Virginia, while ORV coverage has been extended into Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Hanover is also enhancing its value proposition through features such as agreed value coverage for motorcycles, expanded protection of $1500 in custom equipment and $1000 in rider apparel, and deductible waivers under its Platinum offering. These differentiated coverage features could help the company attract higher-value customers while strengthening agent relationships in niche recreational insurance markets.
The move highlights Hanover’s focus on deepening customer relationships by offering a wider range of insurance products through a single carrier. By bundling motorcycle, ORV, auto, home and specialty coverages together, the company aims to improve customer retention, increase cross-selling opportunities and simplify policy management for both agents and customers.
The expansion builds on Hanover’s broader investment in specialty personal lines products, including its cyber collector car partnership with Hagerty, launched in 2025. Continued expansion into recreational lines and lifestyle-oriented insurance categories could support premium growth, improve policy retention and strengthen Hanover’s competitive positioning in the personal lines market over time.
