I’m considering buying a car from a used dealer, but it has a rebuilt title. I’m insured with Liberty Mutual on my other vehicle, but will they also insure this new car?
As long as the rebuilt vehicle has passed state inspection, Liberty Mutual will typically insure it. Liberty Mutual offers liability-only insurance with the option to add full coverage if the policyholder can obtain the required documentation.
, you will need to have a letter from a certified mechanic verifying the repairs and the vehicle’s safety. But if the car still holds a salvage title, you won’t be able to get insurance from any reputable provider, as salvage cars are illegal to drive.
The car you’re considering was likely given a salvage title after an accident that declared it a total loss, meaning the repair costs were higher than the vehicle’s value. Once the car was repaired and deemed safe and roadworthy, the salvage title was replaced with a rebuilt title. After that, Liberty Mutual can provide you with the appropriate insurance.
