Mercury Insurance has a large auto insurance customer base in California, but it also operates in 10 other states and offers more products such as homes, renters, and commercial auto insurance. Its policies are sold through a network of independent agents.

Mercury auto insurance earned 3.5 stars out of 5 for overall performance. NerdWallet’s ratings are determined by our editorial team. The scoring formula takes into account pricing and discounts, ease of filing a claim, website transparency, financial strength, complaint data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and more.

Mercury is a meat-and-potatoes auto insurer with basic coverage options, including optional rental car coverage and roadside assistance. Besides, any repairs made at a repair facility approved by Mercury are guaranteed for the lifetime of your vehicle.

Rideshare insurance is also available in all states where Mercury offers auto insurance except for New York and New Jersey. Traditional auto insurance policies don’t cover you while you drive for companies like Uber or Lyft, and those companies’ insurance only covers drivers with passengers or en route to pick them up. But while you’re waiting for a fare, neither policy covers you and that’s where rideshare coverage fills the gap. You must have a Mercury auto insurance policy to add this option.
