Car Insurance Question  Is 21st Century insurance the same as AIG?

Yes, the U.S. now owns close to 80% of 21st Century Car Insurance.

In 1998, AIG acquired a majority interest in 20th Century Industries (now 21st Century Insurance).

In 2006, 21st Century Insurance Group provided direct-to-consumer personal auto insurance in the United States. It sold personal automobile insurance polices primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. The company was founded in 1958 and was headquartered in Woodland Hills, California.

In January 2007, 21st Century Insurance said they received an unsolicited $690 million offer from American International Group Inc. (AIG) for all of the shares that the auto insurer currently does not own. AIG offered $19.75 cents a share for the remaining 38.1 percent of the stock of the Woodland Hills-based company it does not already own and it made it a subsidiary of AIG (American International Group).

AIG is an international insurance and financial services organization. The U.S. government now owns close to 80% of AIG and 21st Century car insurance. Most taxpayers don't feel that they have any claim to the company.

Recently, they changed to market the name aigdirect, but are now marketing under 21st century car insurance. You can read their company listing here to understand more about the companies 21st Century Auto Insurance uses.

car insurance commentsI want to know what the "customer Satisfaction" record for 21 Century is apt to be now.....
car insurance commentsThe answer was detailed from the details of the actual purchase thru its status in the current bailout/economic crisis environment. Well written, succinct, clear to the "man-on-the-street" -- perhaps excluding Jay Lenos Jaywalkers in their ignorance. Thx very much for the answer. My question relates to being a passenger in a recent auto accident, hit by a 21st Century insured.
