Overview

Founded in 1958, 21st Century Insurance is now part of the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies. The company offers auto insurance exclusively to residents of California.

21st Century markets itself as a low-cost car insurance provider but includes free perks with its policies, like roadside assistance at no additional premium.

Although 21st Century is just one part of Farmers Insurance Group, the group as a whole has 4.76% of the private passenger auto insurance market share in the country, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) 2022 report. That makes Farmers the 7th-largest car insurance company in the nation.
