SAN FRANCISCO, CA - May
13, 2004 - Washington drivers now have another option to consider when shopping
for auto insurance. Esurance, a direct-to-consumer personal auto insurance company,
announced the recent launch of its new auto insurance program in the state of
Washington.
Gary Tolman, Esurance President
& CEO, stated, "We're proud to offer an outstanding option for Washington
drivers seeking maximum online convenience, 24/7 service, and reliable coverage-all
for affordable rates." With Esurance's new auto program, consumers also
benefit from additional savings through a wide variety of discounts. Two notable
discounts provide extra savings to Esurance customers who own their own home
or pay their auto insurance premium in full.
Tolman added, "We're
very happy to introduce our new auto product in a significant market like Washington."
Washington's auto insurance market is estimated at around $3.3 billion. Tolman
continued, "Whenever there is activity in any state's auto insurance market,
consumers should take advantage of the opportunity to shop around for the best
coverage at the best price. Competition helps keep insurance prices reasonable,
and gives consumers greater choice in terms of the types of service they seek."
