Plymouth State University graduates may qualify for a 10% alumni discount on Hanover home and auto policies in New Hampshire and Maine. Whether you stayed in the Lakes Region, moved to the Seacoast or bought a place in the White Mountains, Portsmouth Atlantic Insurance can check your eligibility and compare that option with our other carriers.
Who may qualify
The discount is for college and university graduates. Your Plymouth State degree is what matters, not alumni association membership or when you graduated. Discounts may vary by carrier and eligibility.
Lakes Region and White Mountains homes
Lake houses and seasonal homes
A cottage on Squam, Newfound or Winnipesaukee, or a ski place near Waterville Valley or Lincoln, is often insured differently than a year-round home. Winter vacancy, frozen pipes and occasional rentals all matter to carriers. Our second and seasonal home insurance page explains the basics.
Year-round homes in Plymouth and nearby towns
Rural homes may be farther from a fire station or hydrant, and that can affect underwriting. Tell us about your home’s heat source, roof age and distance to the nearest fire department when you call.
Boats, snowmobiles and the drive north
Lakes Region living often comes with a boat or a sled. We can look at boat and powersports coverage alongside your home and auto. The alumni discount applies to Hanover home and auto, so ask us how the pieces fit together.
It’s important to let us know what associations or alumni groups you belong to when you call.
