When was your auto insurance company created?

When Esurance launched in 1999, it was just a small insurance company looking to demystify auto insurance for the average driver. People caught on to our convenient, service and low-cost coverage, and in just a few short years we've become one of the fastest-growing auto insurance companies in the country. With Esurance you don't have to pay a lot to get the reliable insurance coverage you deserve.

Esurance's award-winning Web site is the easiest one-stop shop for consumers researching and buying their auto insurance on the Internet. As a part of our efforts to explain insurance in "plain English," insurance help is available throughout our Web site.

With one of the fastest quotes on the Web, Esurance offers price estimates almost instantly. We even offer comparison quotes right on our site. Because Esurance is an online insurance company we have little overhead and no middleman. The money we save gets passed on to you in the form of lower insurance rates.

After getting a quote, you can buy your policy online and print your temporary insurance card almost instantly. That's because we verify your driving record, claims history, and consumer report information in real-time, making the purchase process fast and convenient.

As an Esurance policyholder you can access and make changes to your policy online anytime. You can even file minor claims online. And if you ever lose your insurance card, simply print another one from your account. Of course, customer service and claims representatives are also available 24/7 if you need them.

It's hard to imagine that just a few short years ago the convenience of our online auto insurance company didn't exist. Because we were one of the first companies to offer auto insurance primarily online, we proudly consider ourselves to be the Internet's auto insurance specialists. But we won't stop there. Each and every day, Esurance works to improve your auto insurance experience from quote to claim.
