CALABASAS, Calif. - Countrywide Insurance Group has launched an auto insurance product for consumers in four states – Colorado, Indiana, Nevada and Illinois. Countrywide will introduce the new auto insurance product in up to 25 additional states by the end of 2007.

Residents in these four states can obtain an auto insurance quote from Countrywide Insurance Services, Inc. by calling a licensed auto insurance agent at (800) 669-6656. Residents can learn more about home warranty, homeowners, renters, and term life insurance products through these same licensed insurance agents or by visiting any Colorado financial center.

Bob James, president and CEO of Countrywide Insurance Group, says, "Introducing our own auto insurance product allows us to tailor our offering to meet insurance needs that customers have shared with us.” James expects this offering to help the company attract new customers.

In addition to sophisticated rating technology that could potentially bring consumers better coverage and pricing than they can secure with their existing carriers, Countrywide is also offering discounts to current Countrywide customers that could potentially save them as much as 23 percent off of regular rates, said James.
