    Liberty Mutual: A Reliable Insurance
    Liberty Mutual has been good for me. When the car was wrecked recently, they were quick to respond and get the process started. They quickly arranged for me to get a rental car to drive and handled all the steps from beginning to end. Everyone I dealt with was very knowledgeable and courteous. They also worked with me to get the best rates for my car insurance.

    Two claims this year. Awful experience with both. Unresponsive claims agents. Extremely slow processing. My car sat at a storage lot for 2 weeks.

    Rates…As of the 1st of February I switched over to Progressive. Sorry Liberty Murt
    Liberty Mutual has a lot of good options, but their prices are way too high. I had them for three years, and the price almost doubled on my SUV. I’m 71 years old with no tickets or accidents. I do not drive over (on average) 7 miles a day at most 4 days a week. NEVER had a DUI. For 6 months, my rate is over $2440. Social security only goes so far. That only stretches so far!

    Liberty Mutual Offers the Best Prices
    My experience with Liberty Mutual is mostly good. I like the flexibility of being able to pay and find my forms online. I didn’t find auto glass replacement to be easy with Liberty Mutual. The company they recommended didn’t have our windshield, so I had to find another company myself. I wish the original prices they quoted me did not go up so much. Each year, the price increases beyond what I’m happy with. That being said, when I price other companies, there are none that are cheaper. So I’m staying with Liberty Mutual.

    Tracking Concerns
    I would not recommend it. The tracking discount software on my mobile phone makes me uncomfortable due to potential risks like stalking, home invasion, robbery, and other activities that may harm someone living alone. The demand to constantly communicate with their system is bothersome. The Progressive app for this benefit was present but less intrusive. However, this Liberty Mutual app is more demanding than necessary.

Having the Courage to Review and Change
Saved us a lot of money. We did give up some coverage by way of considerably higher deductibles, but realized that we have only had a couple of claims on our home in 39 years. Also raised auto deductibles because we are debt-free and can cover it nowadays. Please first scan or download snapshots of your current/former insurance companies, but block out the premium costs to their view, so that they have a clear view of what you have. Then explain what you are willing/wanting to change.

Liberty is Mutually Beneficial
Liberty Mutual will give you all the perks of being a name-brand car insurance company, similar to their competitors like Geico and Progressive. You'll get a reliable policy, but with that, you will have to pay the price of having a big-name company backing you. As far as customer service, it just depends on the day, but if I could recommend one thing, keep claims simple and try to be as direct with the agent as possible. The ones I've experienced didn't seem to have much patience.
