Customized Protection for the Illinois Condo-Owner

Condo owners have different protection needs than homeowners and renters. Location is also a key factor when purchasing coverage; for example, a condo owner in Chicago is much less worried about a tornado than a condo owner further out in the suburbs. Condos located in the densely populated city, might be more susceptible to theft compared to one in a small town. Mercury Insurance understands these needs and is here to help. Mercury has local agents throughout Illinois to help customize a protection play that meets your specific needs.

According to the Illinois Law Enforcement Agency Uniform Crime Reports, there were over 300,000 property crimes reported in 2012, resulting in millions in stolen and damaged goods. At Mercury, we hope you never have to experience a burglary, but in the event you do, our claims team will be there to get you back on your feet in no time. With a wide range of coverage options, you can rest easy knowing that you're protected. Here are some of the coverage options available:
