I have to admit that I have a bit of a soft spot for State Farm Insurance. You're probably going to laugh when I tell you why.
Believe it or not, it's the song. You remember the one I'm talking about, don't you? "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there."
I
told you you'd laugh! Did you know that Barry Manilow wrote that
jingle for State Farm car insurance way back in 1971, before he became
so famous?
I'm not quite sure if it's the sentiment or the sound, but I
get a real nostalgic sense when I hear that tired old tune. :)
Sentiment aside, there's a lot more to State Farm auto insurance than a
lovely old memory. State Farm has a pretty impressive history of being
the absolute #1 insurance company in America for nearly 60 years.
It's pretty tough to stay at the top of the game in your industry for such a lengthy time without doing something right!
Back
in 1922, George Jacob Mecherle (better known as "GJ") started State
Farm insurance because of his desire for people to be treated fairly in
regards to their auto insurance. Novel idea, eh?
Guess how
much State Farm's very first auto insurance policy cost its first
customer? A whopping $22.34 for an entire year. :) Sure, back in the
1920's that was a big chunk of change, but still it brings a grin to my
face when I think of what we pay now for car insurance!
As
technology progressed, so did State Farm Ins. They began offering 24
hour service when the demand arose so that their customers would always
be able to get the service they needed when they needed it.
Of
course, like most of the major players in the car insurance industry,
State Farm auto insurance was one of the first to offer online services
like...
I
have to admit that I've read a lot of reviews about State Farm Ins
where the customers complain that they have difficulty maneuvering
around the new State Farm website, but they usually have good things to
say about the company itself. One would assume that a company like
State Farm will take their customers' advice and make the site more user
friendly. ;)
Our Canadian visitors will be glad to know
that State Farm Insurance is available in Canada, too. I'm not
personally covered by State Farm at this present time, but they are
certainly among the handful of insurance companies that I seriously
consider when getting my auto insurance quotes.
