Carrier Partner
Liberty Mutual is one of the carriers Dragon Insurance compares for auto and home insurance in Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky. This review covers Liberty Mutual's coverage options, the RightTrack telematics discount, what the April 2026 retirement of the Safeco name means for you, and how it compares to Progressive and The General so you can make an informed decision.
Liberty Mutual Strengths
Liberty Mutual Limitations
Liberty Mutual fits households that want their home and auto coverage under one established national carrier, with a way to earn a lower auto rate by driving safely.
We quote Liberty Mutual side by side with the other carriers we write, so you see whether it is the best price for your home before you buy.
Liberty Mutual offers standard personal auto coverage with several optional add-ons. Coverage availability and pricing vary by state. Here is what a standard Liberty Mutual auto policy includes.
| Coverage | What It Covers | Standard or Optional |
|---|---|---|
| Liability | Bodily injury and property damage you cause to others | Standard (required by law) |
| Collision | Damage to your car after a crash with another vehicle or object | Optional (required if financed) |
| Comprehensive | Theft, fire, vandalism, weather, hitting an animal | Optional (required if financed) |
| Uninsured Motorist | Injuries and damage caused by uninsured drivers | Optional (recommended) |
| Rental Reimbursement | Daily rental car cost while your car is being repaired | Optional add-on |
| RightTrack (telematics) | Usage-based discount for safe driving habits | Optional enrollment |
Safeco has been a wholly owned Liberty Mutual company since 2008, and Liberty Mutual retired the Safeco name effective April 25, 2026. The products independent agents sold as Safeco are now sold under the Liberty Mutual name, and Liberty Mutual says Safeco customers keep their agent relationship and their policies are not impacted other than the name change. See our Safeco Insurance Review for what the name change means for existing Safeco policies.
One distinction still matters when you shop. Liberty Mutual sells through independent agents and directly, and says its direct and agent product offerings remain differentiated, so a quote through Dragon can differ from one on libertymutual.com. We quote the agent version against the rest of our panel so you see your real best price.

Your Policy Carries Over

Safeco has been owned by Liberty Mutual since 2008; its brand was retired effective April 25, 2026, and its products are now sold through agents under the Liberty Mutual name. Progressive is a separate, independent public company with no ownership relationship to either.
Liberty Mutual fits clean-record households that want home and auto bundled with one national carrier, while The General fits drivers who need coverage after a DUI, a lapse, or an SR-22.
Dragon writes both, so we quote Liberty Mutual and The General side by side. Read our The General auto insurance review and SR-22 guide, or call 717-229-5115 to compare both on one call.

Yes, financially. AM Best affirmed its Financial Strength Rating at A (Excellent) in September 2025. Its weak spot is customer satisfaction: about 3x the expected NAIC complaint rate for its size, and low Trustpilot/Sitejabber ratings. It's financially sound but worth comparing on price and service, not just brand.
Yes. Liberty Mutual has owned Safeco since 2008, and it retired the Safeco name effective April 25, 2026. The products independent agents sold as Safeco are now sold under the Liberty Mutual name, and Liberty Mutual says Safeco customers keep their agent and their policies are not impacted other than the name change.
Yes, they are one company, and since April 25, 2026 one brand: Safeco is now Liberty Mutual. One distinction still matters when you shop: Liberty Mutual sells both through independent agents and directly, and says its direct and agent product offerings remain differentiated, so a quote through an agent can differ from one on libertymutual.com. We quote the agent version against the rest of our panel so you see the real price.
Liberty Mutual's telematics program, the same one former Safeco customers know. Enroll via app or plug-in device, your driving is tracked about 90 days, and safe drivers typically earn a discount at renewal plus an enrollment discount.
Yes, underwritten directly by Liberty Mutual rather than routed through a partner carrier. We quote the bundle against unbundled options from other carriers to show real savings.
Safeco is now sold as Liberty Mutual, so for most shoppers the comparison is Liberty Mutual versus Progressive. Liberty Mutual fits clean-record, bundle-seeking households; Progressive tends to win for tickets, accidents, or SR-22 needs. We quote both side by side.
Yes. We quote Liberty Mutual alongside Progressive, The General, and the rest of our carrier panel in one call, so you see whether it is your best price before you buy.
Liberty Mutual runs about three times the expected NAIC complaint rate for its size, which often shows up as renewal increases or underwriting decisions policyholders did not anticipate. Re-shop every renewal instead of assuming Liberty Mutual is still your best rate; we compare your renewal against our full panel each term.
