Better Car Replacement™
A better insurance policy that gets you a better car.
What is Better Car Replacement?
As much as we try to avoid them, accidents happen. Adding Better Car Replacement coverage to your Liberty Mutual Auto Insurance 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.
Replacing a car after a loss is already hard enough. Let us help you get a better one.
