Auto Quotes Available at Your Mobile Finger Tips
State Farm(R) launches Fast Estimate auto quotes for mobile; releases new Android application.
BLOOMINGTON, Ill., May 24 -- Until now the only ways to get a State Farm auto insurance quote was to visit an agent or statefarm.com or call. With the launch of FastEstimate(TM), any mobile smart phone can get you an insurance estimate. Simply log on to statefarm.com® from any smart phone and you're ready to go; no need to install an app.
FastEstimate is easy. By answering just a few questions, such as address, age and vehicle information, you will be presented with three choices in coverage, and be given the option to forward that estimate to an agent for purchase.
"We are working hard to provide mobile solutions, and FastEstimate for all smart phone users is one more step to being there," said Mark Oakley, vice president of State Farm Systems.
Staying active with mobile, State Farm has also brought their Pocket Agent(TM) iPhone® app to customers on the Android mobile platform. For the first time customers with Android phones are closer to their account information through the free app. Policyholders now can view policy, mutual funds and financial information on the go.
Android and iPhone owners can use Pocket Agent to submit a claim, check their State Farm Bank® account, or search for locksmiths, towing service providers, rental cars, taxis, gas stations, or hotels by location or zip code.
"We are excited to extend the State Farm Pocket Agent to the Android platform and reach more of our customers through additional mobile capabilities," said Patty Gaumond, assistant vice president of State Farm Enterprise Internet Solutions. "We remain committed to providing enhancements to our mobile solutions based on customer insight and feedback."
