\"AmericanRAMSTEIN AIR BASE \u2013 <\/strong>Warfighters and military family members at Ramstein Air Base in Germany can now sign up for auto insurance without leaving the installation<\/a> thanks to the Army & Air Force Exchange Service.<\/p>\n

American Auto Services, the first auto insurance business at an Exchange, opened July 6 at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center (KMCC) Exchange shopping center. Exchange Europe\/Africa\/Southwest Asia Region Commander Col. Don Nowlin, Exchange Region Senior Vice President Marla Smith Randolph, KMCC Services Business Manager Lani Chandler, Region Services Program Specialist Gino Rakas and American Auto Services owner John Sweeney cut the ribbon to celebrate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWarfighters and military family members are required to have liability insurance before driving privately owned vehicles, such as automobiles and motorcycles, in Germany,\u201d Nowlin said. \u201cAmerican Auto Services\u2019 convenient, on-base location gives drivers a sense of confidence, allowing them to sign up for their policy in the comfortable, familiar surroundings of their local Exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located inside the KMCC Military AutoSource office, American Auto Services offers customized policies that fulfill all of Germany\u2019s host nation requirements for U.S. military personnel stationed in Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be very stressful when arriving to Germany,\u201d said Space Force Master Sgt. Anthony Warfield, a cyber operator assigned to 1st Air and Space Communications Operations Squadron who saw the new insurance office while shopping at the KMCC mall, \u201cso it\u2019s very convenient to have an auto insurance agency located here on base.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Exchange will monitor American Auto Services\u2019 performance during its first year of business to determine whether additional insurance businesses will open at overseas Exchanges.<\/p>\n
