Toyota wants to sell you a car, finance it, service it and now insure it, too.

Toyota Auto Insurance is up and running and will soon be available in Texas.

So far it’s being sold in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and South Carolina. Along with Texas, it will soon be operating in Georgia, Missouri and Tennessee with more states added monthly, Toyota said Thursday. And Toyota is a global auto OEM- one of the largest.

The auto insurance will be sold through its website, mobile app, call-centre agents and at participating Toyota dealerships. The insurance is supported by Toggle, the underwriter owned by Farmers Insurance.
