Expansion

It leads the U.S. in insuring specialty products such as mobile homes, motor homes, travel trailers and specialty dwellings. And the Bristol West Insurance Group, based in Davie, Fla., became a part of the Farmers Insurance Group of companies in July 2007. Bristol West began providing private passenger auto insurance to Florida residents in 1973, and since that time, it has grown to be a leading provider of liability and physical damage insurance - focusing exclusively on private passenger vehicles across the United States.
