Country Financial provides generous support to charities ranging from the American Red Cross to the Children’s Hospital of Illinois, the United Way, the Veterans Foundation of Illinois and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

It has undertaken an aggressive and ongoing green initiative, looking each year for new and better ways to lessen its carbon footprint as a business entity.

Country Financial is also an active sponsor of many locally-based events, from farmers markets to concerts, in keeping with its focus on community as the basis for a successful business model.

Available Car Insurance Coverage and Features

Country Financial representatives claim to take a personal approach to car insurance and develop custom-tailored levels of coverage to meet their budgets and coverage requirements.

Other coverage includes standard collision, comprehensive and liability categories as well as optional roadside assistance, trip interruption, and umbrella liability coverage.

Another available feature is basic renter’s insurance that can be added to your auto insurance rather than needing a separate policy.

Country Financial car insurance offers discounts to high school and college students with good grades as well as a separate discount for college graduates.

Discounts for defensive driving course completion, anti-theft devices, and driver’s education for young drivers are also offered, as is a special engaged couple discount for young drivers over 21 years old.

In addition to price, you should consider the philosophy, industry ratings, financial strength and customer service record of the insurers who offer you cheap quotes.
