Sequoia Insurance Company was organized in 1946 under the laws of the State of California. Formed under the sponsorship of interests identified with California county and farm mutuals, the Company commenced business on February 21, 1947.

On April 30, 2000, Sequoia Insurance Company purchased Personal Express Insurance Services, Inc. The principal officers of Sequoia were instrumental in the launch of Personal Express back in 1984 and they were very familiar with the excellent service that Personal Express has provided over the years. By purchasing Personal Express, Sequoia eliminated the commissions paid to the agency as the business is placed directly with Sequoia. This eliminates the middleman profits and enables Sequoia to keep its rates low.

Our goal is to provide our customers with that old fashion local service that you have learned to expect from Personal Express while providing you with the low rates that only direct writing insurance companies can afford. We believe that this approach is unique to the insurance industry and will offer our company an opportunity to grow in your community. Our success is measured by the loyalty of our customers. Word of mouth has been our best advertising and we want to thank all of you who have recommended us to your friends and family.

Sequoia Insurance Company is rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company.
