Personal Insurance Federation of California Insurance Reference Book

COMPANIES OPERATING IN CALIFORNIA

There are over 5,200 insurance companies licensed to do business in California.

This section provides groupings of companies which are listed in order of premium volume within each group. This information is reported annually to the Department of Insurance in each company's Annual Statement. The data presented is from the 2003 Annual Statements, the most recent reports available. The groupings include:

  • The 15 property and casualty insurance companies with the largest total premium volume in force in 2003.
