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.
