Liberty Mutual Home Insurance Review Highlights
Liberty Mutual offers both homeowners and renters insurance, along with discounts for bundling multiple Liberty Mutual insurance policies.
A Liberty Mutual homeowners insurance policy covers your home and possessions from damage or loss caused by covered risks, such as fire, frozen pipes, water damage, wind/hail damage (including from hurricanes), and theft. Homeowners insurance from Liberty Mutual also has liability coverage for injury/property damage to others, and covers your living expenses if your home is being repaired and you can’t stay there.
Liberty Mutual offers two tiers of renters insurance: a standard policy and an add-on option. The standard renters insurance policy protects your personal property, covers additional living expenses if your rental needs work, and pays legal and medical bills in case someone gets hurt on the property you’re renting. The add-on policy offers extra protection for earthquake damage and lost/stolen jewelry.
Overall, Liberty Mutual offers reliable homeowners and renters insurance policies at reasonable prices. It also offers landlord, condo, and mobile home insurance policies.
Bottom Line: Is Liberty Mutual a Good Insurance Company?
Yes, Liberty Mutual is a good insurance company. Liberty Mutual offers auto insurance policies for drivers in every situation, from safe drivers with lots of experience to new drivers and customers with a less-than-stellar driving record. It also offers lots of extra coverage options so you can personalize your policy even more.
In addition to auto insurance policies, Liberty Mutual provides small business, property and life insurance policies, as well as coverage options for tuition costs, critical illness and identity theft. However, WalletHub’s editors give Liberty Mutual insurance a rating of just 3.2/5, partly because it has a reputation for unexpected price increases and slow communications.
