American Family Insurance

American Family Insurance is an old and reputable insurance agency that provides vehicle, property, business, health, and life insurance products as well as farm and ranch insurance in the following seventeen western states: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin. In addition, for people who live in those seventeen states, American Family Insurance offers Mexico auto insurance - a vitally important thing if you're planning a trip south of the border! American Family Insurance has a reasonably complete web site. Though you can't purchase your insurance online, as you can with many other agencies, you can get a quote estimation online and they will arrange for an agent in your area to contact you; this is to ensure the personal service they prefer, not to save money on their web site. Though they don't have purchase online available, you can make your bill payments online, and you can check on the status of claims online as well. They also have some neat tools other agencies don't provide, like a Life Events calculator: this takes major life events such as marriage or having a new baby and helps determine what impact this event may have on your insurance needs. American Family Insurance is very interested in educating its customers, and provides guided insurance tours and safety and loss prevention education online, free to the general public. American Family Insurance's Stability and History Far too few consumers worry about the stability of their insurance company; but they should. You have a vested interest in how well your insurance company does because if they bankrupt, your insurance history and any claims you may have outstanding often go belly-up right alongside them. American Family Insurance is stable enough to offer multiple financial products such as brokerage services, securities services, and loans and annuities. (They also have a limited number of fleet vehicles for sale to customers and the general public.) And you have a vested interest in all this if you join American Family Insurance as a policyholder. Instead of being owned by stockholders, as most insurance companies, are, American Family Insurance is a mutual insurance company - this means the insured parties covered by the company are actually stockholders, and their policy dollars insure themselves and pay costs of administering the insurance company - your money won't go to stockholders. It keeps the focus of the insurance company on you, as opposed to making the most profit possible for Wall Street. Because American Family Insurance has historically been most interested in insuring people who live in rural areas and who aren't as likely to have accidents, their rates are lower than most other insurance companies; because American Family Insurance has agents who live in the communities of their policyholders, they are more sensitive to the needs of their customers than large companies often are. If you are fortunate enough to live in an area insured by American Family Insurance, you should check out their rates; you may be pleasantly surprised.
