    Rewarding Where It's Due
    In my opinion, Liberty should reward those who go through years without citations or accidents. I understand there are claims, although people like me and my wife should not have to pay for others' mistakes through increased rates.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Rates have gotten too high considering our record with them over the last 28 years.

    No problems with policy but constant increase in premiums
    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.

    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!

I've never needed it. I have a perfect driving record for the past 10 years. I drive less than 8,000 miles a year, and I pay high-rate insurance.

Dissatisfied with claim during 2 major storms.
I had a claim on my home insurance pertaining to the two bad storms we had in March and had trouble getting help with them. Both instances I had leaks that came into the house and garage from the roof. Liberty only gave me a check to cover the bathroom ceiling and not the other four rooms and also the garage. I never made a claim and had Liberty for 35 years.
