Safeco® knows that trust matters when it comes to some of your biggest investments, like your home, car, and even your boat. Safeco promises to make it easy for you, to provide the coverage you need, to connect you with local agents who offer personal advice, and most important of all - to be there for you when you need us most.

Safeco® partners with local independent agents who live and work in your community. You get personal recommendations tailored specifically to your unique insurance needs and enjoy the fast and comprehensive service you deserve.
  • Along with offering the best combination of value and protection, independent agents work to improve the lives of those around them:
    • They build stronger communities. Agents are business owners, but above all, they are members of the community. Many of them make an impact by sharing their time and resources with local nonprofit organizations. Safeco Insurance is proud to recognize these independent agencies and amplify their charitable efforts with three community giving programs.
      1. Make More Happen Awards
      2. Protecting What Matters
      3. Make More Happen Days
    • They build long-term relationships. Three out of four people use an agent to buy insurance, according to a recent survey, and many of them stay with the same agency for years. When you work with a local insurance agency, you deal with people you know — and people who know you.
  • With Liberty Mutual® INSURANCE as its parent company, Safeco® has been able to concentrate exclusively on personal insurance and has always taken a personal approach to coverage, tailoring service, and coverage options to the needs of individuals rather than selling cookie-cutter plans.
