So, is Mercury a good insurance company?

Mercury is, on the whole, a decent insurance company.
We looked at over 300 verified customer reviews for Mercury and found that 87% had a positive opinion of the service they received while only 5.7% had a negative one.
Considering the national average of only 64% positive reviews and 18.54% bad reviews, it's easy to see why Mercury did well on our survey. 
The positive: Mercury's affordable rates for people of all demographics and driving records is one of the reasons people choose this insurer. Mercury customers have also commended the following features: 
  • Mechanical breakdown coverage
  • Rideshare insurance available
  • Easy-to-use and well-rated mobile app
However, the lack of options to customize Mercury auto policies was a common complaint from customers who left negative reviews.
We asked policyholders to rate Mercury on their affordability, claims experience, customer service, and renewal process.
