Sunday, March 5, 2006

SIKESTON - Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company is introducing a new kind of car insurance that encourages safe driving. Allstate® Your Choice Auto offers new rewards to consumers who drive safely and enhanced protection for those not able to stay out of harms way.

According to Steve Deere, local Allstate representative, this is a first for the auto insurance industry. "Allstate Your Choice Auto Insurance is a new insurance product that is reinventing the way people view and buy car insurance," he said.

Allstate Your Choice Auto Insurance allows consumers to customize their policies based on a variety of benefit and costs options, including safe driving deductibles and bonuses, accident waiver enhancement features and expanded new car protection plans.

The program offers rewards for safe driving including such as deductible rewards off collision coverage for each year of safe driving and a safe driving bonus of up to a 5 percent credit applied toward renewal of premium. Also enhanced protection is available.

"For too long there has been a 'one size fits all' approach to auto insurance," said Jeff Kaufman, field vice president for Allstate's West Central Region, which includes Sikeston. "We know that Americans want more choice and benefits from their auto insurance. Your Choice Auto breaks the mold of products traditionally offered by many insurers by presenting consumers with even more choices, innovative features and enhanced rewards for safe drivers."
