Established in 1961, we at Allstate
Motor Club have worked hard to provide
our members with peace of mind on the
road. Because we are affiliated with
Allstate Insurance Company, membership
with Allstate Motor Club comes with
knowing that there are two trusted
companies watching out for you and your
vehicle. We started as the first truly
national motor club offering superior
roadside benefits. From the beginning,
membership included reimbursement for
towing and roadside service, trip
planning, an arrest bond certificate, a
theft reward, Accidental Death Insurance
and payment for legal services.
In 1981, our membership reached the
one million mark. Over time, we’ve added
many amenities to provide better service
for our members such as the addition of
a nationwide dispatch service, our
customer service center, and upgrades to
products and benefits in our membership
plans.
Celebrating our 45th anniversary in
2006, we see this milestone as a
wonderful opportunity to celebrate our
current members and welcome new ones.
We’ve worked hard to create
opportunities that reward our club
members for their loyalty. This year, we
unveil our new website allowing our
members to manage their membership and
take advantage of new and exciting
offers 24 hours a day. It also allows
new members to join Allstate Motor Club
and receive all of our member benefits
easily and quickly—completely online.We
want people like you to use our new and
improved services, take advantage of
great savings, plan memorable trips, and
continue to feel the safety we’ve
provided from the beginning—knowing
we’ll be there whenever you need us.

OnStar was formed in
1995 as a collaboration between GM,
Electronic Data Systems and Hughes
Electronics Corporation. Each of the
founding companies brought a specific
area of expertise to the enterprise: GM
brought vehicle design and integration
and a distribution system of millions of
vehicles, EDS brought much of the
systems development and information
management and customer service
technologies, while Hughes contributed
communications and satellite technology
and automotive electronics.
In 1996,
then GM North America Operations
President Rick Wagoner officially
launched OnStar at the Chicago Auto
Show. OnStar delivered its first product
and service to the market in 11 months,
in the fall of 1996 for model year 1997
Cadillac DeVille, Seville and Eldorado
models. For a short time, OnStar service
was available on vehicles produced by
Acura, Audi, Subaru and Volkswagen
through a licensing agreement. |
