SAN FRANCISCO, CA – January 20, 2004 – New York drivers now have another option to
consider when shopping for auto insurance. Esurance Inc., a direct-to-consumer
personal auto insurance company, recently announced the launch of its new auto
insurance program in New York.
New
York’s auto insurance market is sizable, estimated at around $10 billion. Gary
Tolman, Esurance President & CEO, explained, “Though many might assume that
such a large market encourages competition that benefits consumers, New York
drivers often pay excessively high auto insurance premiums. We’re delighted that
we’re able to offer New York drivers a competitively priced, convenient coverage
option.”
Esurance will help many New York
drivers save on auto insurance through the new program’s highly targeted pricing
model. Under the new program, Esurance customers will pay a rate that more
closely matches their individual profiles, versus the more generic rate tiers
favored by other insurance companies.
Tolman continued,
“Our competitive rates will help many drivers save money on auto insurance. The
online convenience of our award-winning Web site will help many drivers save
time. As a company, we definitely understand that most people don’t want to
spend more time or money on auto insurance than they need to. That’s why we’re
excited to offer the benefits of our new auto product to New York
drivers.”
