Safeco
About Safeco Insurance
Safeco Insurance is an American personal-insurance brand offering automobile, homeowners, renters, condominium, landlord, umbrella, motorcycle, boat, and recreational-vehicle coverage. Safeco products are commonly sold and serviced through independent insurance agents.
Safeco was founded in Seattle in 1923 as the General Insurance Company of America. The company later adopted the Safeco name, which originated from Selective Auto and Fire Insurance Company of America. It developed into a nationally recognized property-and-casualty insurer.
Liberty Mutual acquired Safeco in 2008. Safeco now operates as a Liberty Mutual insurance brand rather than an independent public company. Customers generally work with their independent agent, Safeco policy service, or Liberty Mutual’s claims and customer-support systems.
