Companies We Represent

Auto-Owners success can be traced back from its present management to the early leadership of Vern V. Moulton who, in 1916, organized Auto-Owners Insurance Company in Mt. Pleasant, MI.

It wasn't long before the Depression began, and Auto-Owners weathered even the lowest point of that era - the bank holidays of February 1933. The Company demonstrated its corporate toughness and financial stability by paying all claims promptly, daily, and IN CASH!

Today, Auto-Owners has full-service offices in Lansing, MI; White Bear Lake, MN; Peoria, IL; Montgomery, AL; Marion, IN; Lima, OH; Lakeland, FL; Brentwood, TN; West Des Moines, IA; Charlotte, NC; Mesa, AZ; Appleton, WI; Duluth, GA; and Columbia, SC; with claim offices in 38 additional cities.

The Company is represented by more than 4,600 independent agencies, selling personal and commercial property/casualty and life, disability and annuity insurance in 23 states.

The Auto-Owners Insurance Group ranks among the largest in the nation, with over 2.7 million policies in force.

The proud heritage of GuideOne Insurance began more than a half a century ago.

Over the years that followed, by maintaining an unyielding commitment to social responsibility and a continual focus on niche markets, the organization grew steadily–ultimately creating GuideOne Insurance of today, one the nation's leading niche insurance providers for select consumer and commercial customers. Presently, GuideOne is America's leading insurer of houses of worship, one of the country's largest specialty motorcycle insurers, and the 85th largest property and casualty insurer.
