University of Maine graduates live all over the state, from Orono and Bangor to Portland and York County. If you earned a degree from the University of Maine, you may qualify for a 10% alumni discount on Hanover home and auto policies in Maine and New Hampshire. Portsmouth Atlantic Insurance can check your eligibility and compare it with options from our other carriers.
Who may qualify
Hanover’s alumni discount is for college and university graduates. Your UMaine degree is what counts, whether you graduated last year or decades ago, and you don’t need to belong to an alumni association. Discounts may vary by carrier and eligibility.
Insuring a home anywhere in Maine
Orono, Bangor and the Penobscot region
Older homes in Bangor and the surrounding towns can have heating systems, wiring or roofs that affect how a carrier underwrites them. Knowing the age of your roof and systems before you call helps us find the right fit.
Camps and seasonal places
Plenty of UMaine graduates own a camp on a lake or in the woods. Seasonal and secondary homes often need different coverage than a year-round house, especially if they sit empty in winter. See our second and seasonal home insurance page, and ask us whether the alumni discount can apply.
Southern Maine and the coast
If you’ve settled in Cumberland or York County, you may be closer to our Portsmouth office than you think. Coastal homes may need flood insurance as a separate policy.
Already have an alumni insurance offer?
The University of Maine alumni association may separately sponsor an insurance program for its members. That program is separate from us. If you have an offer from it or anywhere else, bring it in and we’ll compare it with the Hanover alumni option and our other carriers on the same coverage.
It’s important to let us know what associations or alumni groups you belong to when you call.

Frequently asked questions
Can the alumni discount apply to my camp?
The Hanover alumni discount applies to home and auto policies in Maine and New Hampshire. Whether it applies to a seasonal camp depends on how the camp is insured, so ask us and we’ll check.
I live in Bangor. Can you help me from Portsmouth?
Yes. We work with clients across Maine by phone and email, and we’re licensed in Maine.
Is this the University of Maine alumni insurance program?
No. We are an independent agency and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Maine or its alumni association. The alumni association may separately sponsor its own insurance program, which is not ours.
Do I need to be an active alumni association member?
No. Hanover’s alumni discount is based on your college or university degree. Discounts may vary by carrier and eligibility.
Portsmouth Atlantic Insurance is an independent insurance agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official insurance partner of the University of Maine or its alumni association, and we do not offer exclusive alumni programs. The alumni association of the University of Maine may separately sponsor an insurance program for its members; that program is not ours, and this page is not part of it. The school name is used only to describe who may be eligible for a carrier discount. Discounts may vary by carrier and eligibility, are subject to underwriting and carrier rules, and can change.
