Safeco Auto Insurance Company

Overview

The reason many customers like Safeco is right there in the name: It’s a safe bet for car insurance. The company, which is part of Liberty Mutual, has been around for nearly a century, so you know it’s not going anywhere. Safeco is known for good-quality, affordable car insurance and a network of helpful independent agents who can help you build a personalized policy.

However, working with an insurance agent isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Many customers prefer to DIY their auto insurance and manage their policy digitally. So is Safeco car insurance the best fit for you? Let’s take a closer look, so you have all the information you need to decide.

Safeco spokespersons:

Because Safeco’s part of Liberty Mutual, it doesn’t have its own TV campaign or mascot (like Limu Emu & Doug). Instead, Safeco’s independent agents are the collective face of the company.
