At Alfaro Insurance, we helped clients stay informed as the insurance industry changed. One important update for many customers was Safeco Insurance’s transition to the Liberty Mutual Insurance name. Beginning April 25, 2026, this change brought operations under one strong brand while preserving the service clients expected.
Liberty Mutual acquired Safeco Insurance in 2008, and Safeco operated under its own brand until the transition. Combining the brands helped Liberty Mutual provide stronger value through unified products, technology, and marketing. Most importantly, this was only a name change—policy details, agent relationships, and overall experiences remained the same. No action was needed, and updates were shared as necessary.
To address common questions, we included FAQs from the official Safeco transition page. Each question below included the corresponding answer based on that guidance and related announcements.
