My Insurance Policy
How can I get an online auto quote?
Shopping for a new car or a new insurance provider? Compare your options, and figure out how much insurance will cost by getting a free, no obligation auto quote online. It only takes about 10 minutes, and if you like the quote, you can even start your coverage immediately. Already requested a quote online? You can quickly retrieve a previous quote by filling in your last name, birth date, zip code, and the e-mail address you entered on your original quote. For quotes other than auto, contact an independent agent near you or call Safeco at 1-800-332-3226.

What are my options for homeowner's insurance?
Safeco provides many options for homeowner's insurance. There are many things to consider when deciding coverage, but the basic coverage protects your home, its contents, yourself and your guests. You may also want additional coverage if you've renovated your property, or have special possessions like art or other valuables. The value of your home, its age and safety features, and the value of your belongings should all be considered when choosing coverage. Choose the policy that's right for you with the help of a Safeco agent.
