    Left for Cheaper Coverage!
    You should have lowered the cost every year instead of it going up. As the vehicle gets older and the value drops, the coverage should too. Instead, it kept going up. Good for now!

    The coverage was good, and the claims process was fast. After one weather-related incident, we were told they would not renew. It was a single incident that didn’t cost the insurance company more than $6,000, and we had no tickets or other incidents over the previous five years.

    Enough Is Enough!
    I was with the company for over 30 years. I had a couple of traffic violations; the last one I feel I was wrongly charged for. I didn’t get any breaks from you, so I changed companies. I’ve been retired since 1997 and travel less than 5,000 miles a year now—actually even less.

    Overpriced with Hard-to-Navigate Customer Service
    I’ve never had to file a claim with them, but at one point they added a teen driver to my policy who I didn’t know and who didn’t live in my home. It took several months of paying triple my normal policy amount to get this corrected. I also find they’re one of the most expensive insurance companies for less coverage, and I’ll be leaving them for a new company.

    Why Do I Stay in This Toxic Policy?
    I’ve been with them for 16 years. I stay because of the price. However, the two times I’ve made a claim, it was not pleasant dealing with them. My renters insurance paid me very little to replace wood furniture and did not allow me to rent a hotel room, which was a benefit I had paid for. After one car accident, they treated me very poorly. I was a victim of a scam that was captured on video and still was found at fault because the other driver claimed bodily injury after the accident. My car was also damaged by the repair company and was never fixed either. I paid out of pocket for the rental and the deductible. Horrible experience and demeaning.

    Unjustified Rate Increase
    Don't let the fact that they are raising the rate deter you. I've been a professional driver since I was 18 and never had an accident or anything on my record. There should be no reason why I'm paying this rate.

    Single Person Discrimination
    Recently divorced, I changed my name and marital status and was told by this insurance company that I was a larger driving risk because there was no spouse to share the driving with. Additionally, they claimed I was not as financially stable being a single person, and they increased my policy by $340.00. I feel this is unfair.

    Big savings by moving coverage!
    Beware of the Right Track app that you are forced into. The app is quirky and works only at certain times, and it’s unknown until it’s time to confirm or validate the trip. Upon finally completing the exercise, LIMU has the opportunity to increase your premium even if you have no violations. It’s arbitrary and unarguable. It’s also difficult to make contact with anyone to discuss any customer service questions or issues. They offer no provision for vehicles older than 1990. I’ve never considered LIMU to be customer-friendly or reasonably priced, since being referred by USAA.

    No problems with insurance, but I'm disappointed that I drive less than 9,000 miles a year on my car, less than 1,000 a year on the 1995 pickup, and have had yet another increase in my monthly premium. No tickets, no claims, I don't live in the city, so there's no increase in the possibility of theft, accident, etc., and still an increase.

Would Not Recommend Certainly Insurance
I can hardly ever get a live representative on the phone or in chat during the day, since customer service is through Certainly Insurance and not technically through Liberty Mutual. Plus, after six months of a perfect driving history (and years of a perfect history before that), my premium went up instead of getting a discount or staying the same. I’m switching elsewhere, since I found a better rate.
