Overview

Founded in California in 1962, Mercury Insurance provides options ranging from personal auto insurance to homeowners insurance to mechanical breakdown protection. Today Mercury has more than 8,500 independent local agents and is among the leading insurers in California.

Mercury offers all of the basics of car insurance and aims to be a low-cost option. Among the ways to save is RealDrive, Mercury’s usage-based program that earns drivers a discount for displaying good driving habits.

Mercury General Group holds 1% of the private passenger auto insurance market, according to the 2022 National Association of Insurance Commissioners report. That doesn’t sound like much, but it makes Mercury the 16th-largest auto insurance company in the nation.
