Automobile Club Expands Life Insurance Services Into County

The Automobile Club of Southern California is expanding its life insurance services to Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

The Auto Club’s products include whole and universal life, annuities, term options and policies designed to cover young children and teenagers. The Auto Club Life Insurance Co. has earned an A rating from A.M. Best, an independent insurance rating company.

“We are continually looking to add value to our membership,” said John H. Hazelrigg, life insurance vice president. “We want consumers to understand the process and feel comfortable and knowledgeable about their life insurance decisions.”

Life insurance services are already available in Orange and San Diego counties, and they will be available in 59 of the Auto Club’s 68 offices in 13 Southern California counties by early next year.

The life insurance program began as a pilot in San Diego County in 1997. The Auto Club has offered auto insurance to members since 1912. It has added homeowners, watercraft and excess-liability coverage in more recent years.
