Better Car Replacement™
A better insurance policy that gets you a better car.
What is Better Car Replacement?
Replacing a car after a loss is already hard enough. Let us help you get a better one. Adding Better Car Replacement coverage to your policy means that when your car is deemed a total loss, we'll give you the money for a replacement car that is one model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your current car.* For instance, if your old car was a 2014 model with 35,000 miles on it, Liberty Mutual will give you the money for a replacement 2015 model with 20,000 miles on it.

A better choice than Gap Insurance
When your car is deemed a total loss and you owe more money than it's assessed to be worth, gap insurance will cover the remaining amount you owe. This is an optional coverage generally offered when you buy your car. Better Car Replacement goes further than typical gap insurance because you receive payment for a replacement car that's one model year newer, with 15,000 fewer miles. Keep in mind this coverage only applies to a car you own, not one that is leased.
