MetLife Auto Insurance Review

MetLife exited the U.S. personal auto insurance market in 2021 when it sold its property-and-casualty business to Farmers. Active policies under the MetLife brand transitioned to Farmers administration, and new MetLife-branded auto policies are no longer being written. This review preserves the historical record; for new auto coverage, our Farmers review is the more current reference.

Our verdict

The bottom line
