Unitrin Direct Introduces Competitive Auto Insurance Program in Texas PR Web (press release)
Chicago, IL ( PRWEB ) April 5, 2010 -- Unitrin Direct , a direct-to-consumer insurance company, announced the launch of a new auto insurance program for Texas drivers, featuring more competitive pricing, particularly for preferred drivers, as well as premier customer service. The move reflects the company’s commitment to expanding its presence in the Lone Star State.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration reports that there are more than 15.3 million licensed drivers in Texas, more than any other state except for California. Yet, approximately 22 percent* of Texas drivers are currently uninsured.
“With the ailing economy and high unemployment rates, many individuals have dropped their car insurance or lowered their coverage as a way to save money,” said Unitrin Direct Executive Vice President Tim Bruns. “While these drivers are putting themselves at greater risk, it also makes it more critical than ever for responsible drivers to make sure their coverage is complete, protecting them from uninsured or undernourished drivers.”
