RLI Transportation Adds Ambulance and Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

PEORIA, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
RLI Corp. (NYSE:RLI) -- RLI Transportation's Commercial Auto Unit
announced an expansion of its mono-line commercial auto appetite. The
unit is now targeting ambulance and emergency medical service
providers.

The expanded program builds upon the underwriting expertise and
segment knowledge that had previously only focused on hospital fleets.
The new program now allows ambulance services and emergency medical
service (EMS) providers to place coverage for ambulances and ancillary
vehicles under one policy. RLI Transportation Assistant Vice President
Eric Galisdorfer explained, "We're responding to the demands of the
insureds - they want broad coverage under a single policy. Over time,
we have seen the needs of this customer group move toward a single
insurance policy that covers their entire fleet. The expansion of our
appetite benefits the insureds by allowing seamless coverage and a
one-stop-shop for their fleet insurance needs."

Mr. Galisdorfer adds, "Our niche, underwriting-focused business
model is designed to respond quickly to satisfy the changing needs of
our insureds, so we're doing just that."

The ambulance and emergency medical service providers coverage is
admitted in all states except Alaska, Hawaii, La. and Mass. Minimum
premiums start at $10,000.

underserved markets. Its proven, superior underwriting model creates
