I would agree if you are talking about the Standard HO-3, and I doubt anyone is still selling it. We converted all ours to the Superior plan years ago. They've also announced a major rate reduction in HO lines in August. Keep in mind they haven't been in HO lines that long...they started very conservatively.

Mercury dropped the 15/30/10 limit on permissive users on auto back in April...but personally I always liked it. It was just used against them by competitors...who were probably tired of picking up the excess losses.

I'm a 37 year Mercury agt. and handle all their claims complaints myself. I average 1 a quarter.

Any Mercury agent will tell you that their Claims Dept. is waking up to the new reality of speed of service and friendliness with clients.

It does take a while to turn a corporate ship...but if you know of a more agency oriented carrier with only one means of product distribution...us...let me know.
