The History of CheapInsurance.com

Our roots at CheapInsurance.com trace back to 1974 when our original owner Dave Hosford rebranded his local insurance brokerage in Sacramento, California, as ‘Cheap Insurance Agency’.

He believed that there was a need to provide the best quality insurance to whom he described as ‘unlucky drivers’, whom he regarded as drivers who were prone to high accident rates, moving violations, had specialty vehicles, or who were generally hard to insure.

Our original motto was ‘Not cheap insurance, but insurance for cheap’.

1974 - 1981

Highly successful business model providing quality car insurance at affordable prices grows in Northern California.

Cheap Insurance Agency opens multiple local offices in the Sacramento area.

Offices begin writing over 500 car insurance policies per month.

1982 - 1989
Cheap Insurance Agency opens local offices in California's Central Valley, including locations in Stockton and Modesto, as well as Roseville and Yuba City.
1990 - 1997

Cheap Insurance Agency opens more California
locations in San Jose, Auburn, Merced, Rancho Cordova, Concord, San Pablo, San Leandro, Oroville, Chico, and Lodi.

1998
Cheap Insurance Agency creates the website CheapInsurance.com in recognizing the need to provide a place for insurance customers to seek insurance answers, and to provide more accessible customer service.
2003

Cheap Insurance Agency begins a collaborative program with the California Association of Drinking Drivers Treatment Programs, providing assistance for drivers convicted of a DUI seeking to find a path to improve and repair their lives.

2004

The first CheapInsurance.com website redesign
focuses on improved consumer options and support, 
with a focus on quality.

Company motto changes to ‘Not just the Cheapest, the
Best’.

2005 - 2007

Hosford chooses to retire, selling Cheap Insurance Agency to Fausto Bucheli Jr.

With a goal of growing the agency and providing quality insurance products to California consumers, Bucheli opens a new office in North Sacramento.

In 2006, Bucheli purchases several existing local insurance agencies, expanding Cheap Insurance Agency's California presence with an additional two offices in Stockton, another office in San Jose, and locations in Santa Rosa and Fremont.

2008

Along with the negative impact of the 2007 recession, Cheap Insurance Agency begins researching methods to serve an ever-growing client base and establish a potential national footprint

2009 - 2011

After a significant study in 2009 on how to best optimize service for insurance customers, Cheap Insurance Agency begins to operate a dual insurance model by:

• Staffing a large California local agency office in Sacramento.

• Providing California insurance services through phone, e-commerce, and fax.

• Providing insurance quotes and policies through a national insurance network directly using national insurance carriers.

2012 - 2018

The dual model continues to evolve and improve, enabling national consumer demand to quickly overtake the local California market.

With another website redesign and optimization, Cheap Insurance Agency becomes CheapInsurance.com

This dual model becomes known as ‘Insurance In Your Inbox’.

“Your company has handled my insurance policies for a number of years.

During that time I have worked with a number of agents. 

Recently, I have been dealing with Randy, and I felt a need to let you know how pleased I am with the services he has provided. 

He is courteous, efficient, and very helpful. He always keeps his word and takes time to ensure that I understand various aspects and options related to my insurance matters. 

He has always been very punctual in keeping our telephone appointments. It is always easy to contact him. 

I appreciate his service and I am most grateful for his assistance with a recent unfortunate situation. 

Inadequate follow-up professionally left me in a very damaging and stressful position. Randy developed a strategy, which basically took care of the problem. 

Randy takes his job very seriously. He makes it clear that his major goal is to represent the company well. He takes pride in giving clients outstanding service. Randy Pozo is a true asset to your company. 

I am happy to have him as my agent.”

We were founded in 1974. That’s 50 years of providing the best, personalized insurance solutions to our customers.

We’ve grown enormously over the years and our business model has developed in line with the changing needs of our customers and advances in technology.

We use state-of-the-art technology and continue to develop how we provide insurance to you to keep up with current trends and meet the expectations and needs of our customers.

Although we originally only served California, where our business was founded, today you can buy insurance in every state across the U.S. by using the CheapInsurance.com quote engine.

Back in 1974, our original business model was to provide insurance to people who were considered difficult to insure. We still help high-risk drivers today. Whether you have an SR-22, FR-44, or any other high-risk profile attached to your driving record, we are able to help you.

How much you will pay for your insurance depends on several factors and no two people’s insurance needs are the same. 

While we offer you as many insurance quotes from as many insurance providers as possible, your final quote will depend on the information you supply when completing your insurance quote application.
