About Erie Insurance

Founded in 1925, the primary purpose of Erie was the same as it is today: "To provide our policyholders with as near perfect protection, as near perfect service as is humanly possible and to do so at the lowest possible cost." For the past 85 years, Erie has stayed true to this initial purpose, now offering auto, home, commercial and life insurance to its customers.  Working through a network of independent insurance agents, Erie's presence now extends to 11 states and the District of Columbia.

Wiki Says

The Pennsylvania Insurance Department issued a license to the Erie Insurance Exchange as an automobile insurer in 1925 and operations began on April 20, 1925. Erie Insurance Exchange was formed as a reciprocal and Erie Indemnity Company was formed as its managing company. The annual premium charge per auto was $34. In 1940, the company added a new line — fire insurance — allowing independent agents to more fully depend on ERIE to fulfill the insurance needs of their customers. In September 1967, the Erie Family Life Insurance Company was founded, adding life insurance to its products.

Erie has roughly 4 million policies in force. It is ranked 16th largest automobile insurer in the United States based on direct premiums written and the 21st largest property casualty insurer in the United States based on total lines net premiums written.
