Safeco Auto Insurance
While the name doesn't tell you much about the business, Safeco does sound secure, and with insurance that counts for a lot. Safeco, through its Safeco Insurance Co. offers personal property/casualty insurance including auto, homeowners, and fire coverage. The company's commercial business includes workers' compensation, multiperil, and general liability geared towards small to midsized companies. To better focus on its flagship property/casualty business across the US, Safeco has exited the life and health segment and sold its insurance brokerage, wealth-management arm, and mutual fund operations. However, it continues to offer surety bonds to its long-term construction and corporate customers.

Reviews
Highly recommended
Pros: Friendly, helpful, easy to deal with, relatively cheap.
Cons: Some individual agents are not good. Shop around for one you like!
I have had Safeco Auto insurance for the last 15 years living in 3 states. I shopped around but I never switched companies because I never had a good enough reason to. I never had to file a claim until about 4 years ago.
Honest so far
Pros: They give reasonable answers to most of my questions
Cons: A few fumbles
I've been a customer for at least 3 or 4 years. Occasionally I have questions about my policy, such as whether I was getting a Good Driver discount, or if the usage of an anti-theft device would get me a discount. The company has generally been pretty honest and applied those discounts.
