Farmers Insurance was founded in 1928, just one year before the Great Depression began. The company’s first customers insured their 1925 Cadillac Phaeton, taking a chance with a new and untested company.
Today, Farmers Group offers auto insurance, motorcycle insurance, home insurance, life insurance and business insurance, to name a few. What began as a car insurance company for farmers is now a multi-line, multi-company insurer servicing over 15 million people in 41 states.
The company is also a leader in catastrophe response because of Farmers Helppoint service and a Mobile Catastrophe fleet. Farmers was also the first major insurer to offer discounts for alternative-fuel vehicles and also offers non-standard auto policies.
