Farmers Insurance will soon be the third largest auto insurance company in the United States, according to Bristol West’s website.  Bristol West car insurance belongs to the Farmers’ family and they are getting some new members.  Farmers recently acquired AIG’s Personal Auto insurance business.  This includes 21st Century auto insurance, among others.  Although all of the companies are related, they run separately and offer their own unique customer benefits in their marketplaces.  Bristol West and Farmers’ Foremost Group will begin to merge and run concurrently.

Bristol West operates in 40 of the United States currently.  They assure their customers that their merger with Farmers auto insurance and the acquisition of AIG and 21st Century will not affect Bristol West customers.  Policies will remain unchanged and their great service and excellent products will move forward with the company.  Bristol West has combined their operations with the Foremost Group of Companies, so while policies and services will remain unchanged, some insurance documents may look a little different with the Foremost name attached.
