Erie is named after the town in which it got its start -- Erie, Pennsylvania -- in 1925. Today, Erie offers insurance in 12 states and the District of Columbia. Erie is a Fortune 500 company with over 5 million policies in force.
Erie’s car insurance policy includes extra perks like pet coverage for injuries to a pet in an accident. Also included at no extra charge are first accident forgiveness and diminishing deductible.
Erie also offers a rate lock feature that locks your premium rate in and will only change if you change the policy; for example, if you add or remove a driver or vehicle or if you move.
Erie Insurance claims 1.29% of the private passenger auto market share, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioner's (NAIC) 2022 report. This ranks Erie as the 13th largest auto insurance carrier in the nation.
