Named after the Roman god of commerce and travel, Mercury General hopes to combine the two and become the ultimate auto insurance provider. The company is the parent of a group of insurers, including Mercury Casualty Company, that write automobile insurance for all risk classifications in about a dozen states. Plain old private auto insurance accounts for more than 80% of premiums written. However, Mercury General also sells commercial vehicle insurance and a bit of homeowners, mechanical breakdown, and fire insurance. The company is a leader in the California auto market, it also has significant operations in Florida.
