American National and Liberty Mutual are both top companies in the auto insurance world. American National was founded in 1905, and Liberty Mutual was founded some years later in 1912. Liberty Mutual was rated the #8 auto insurer for 2016, has great car replacement options, and received a J.D. Power award in 2015 for best purchase experience. On the flip side, American National has an excellent customer service portal, and fairly low complaint data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. However, American National lacks a strong online platform, and Liberty Mutual has received criticism for not offering 24-hour customer support. So which one offers the kinds of discounts, services, and even customer ratings that best fit your car insurance wants and needs? Keep reading to find out.
