Toyota Auto Insurance,* the Japanese automaker’s “branded” insurance product, is now available to customers living in California, Toyota said today in a release from Plano, Texas. Introduced in some markets in 2021, Toyota Auto Insurance offers customizable coverage at what it claims are affordable rates. California is the US’s most populous state and largest auto market.
Toyota Auto Insurance, underwritten in California by 21st Century Casualty Company, is available for both Toyota and non-Toyota vehicles in a customer’s household. It’s just the latest example of how the auto insurance market with connected cars is being altered by data-based pricing and sophisticated almost real-time risk calculations. Toyota and other automakers are processing and analyzing data from vehicle use from the growing worldwide fleet of connected vehicles
“This expansion represents a significant milestone in our rollout of Toyota Auto Insurance,” said Rob Spencer, Toyota Insurance President. “Drivers in the Golden State are now able to benefit from the exceptional value and top tier service offered by Toyota Auto Insurance. We look forward to this opportunity to enhance our customers’ Toyota ownership experience.”
In addition to California, Toyota Auto Insurance is also available in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Texas. Additional states will be added in the coming months. Toyota Auto Insurance customers benefit from more than 90 years of insurance insights, knowledge, and award-winning claims support – all provided by Toggle, part of Farmers Insurance®.
