Farmers Insurance Group of Companies
The Farmers Insurance Group of Companies was founded in 1928 when Farmers Insurance Exchange, an automobile insurer, was formed. As customer demand for additional insurance services increased, the Fire Insurance Exchange and Truck Insurance Exchange were established for home and commercial insurance needs. Today, the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies is the country's third-largest writer of both private passenger automobile and homeowners insurance.

Farmers Insurance Group of Companies is based in Los Angeles, Calif., and operates in 41 states across the country through the efforts of approximately 18,000 employees. Our agents, independent contractors and independent agents, along with Farmers employees, are responsible for servicing more than 15 million customers.
