Mutual of Enumclaw car insurance quotes
The cost of car insurance at Enumclaw was better than average among companies we looked at, though it was not the absolute cheapest option.
For a 30-year-old driver, we found an annual rate of $1,177 for a full coverage policy in Washington. That’s cheaper than the rates we found at Geico and Allstate but not as cheap as the rates at Progressive and USAA.
A minimum coverage policy was comparatively expensive. With an average price of $527 per year, Enumclaw was more expensive than every other insurer except Allstate. Drivers looking for a minimum coverage policy at bargain rates should look elsewhere, such as at USAA or State Farm.
A family of three with two parents and a teen driver can find relatively competitive rates at Mutual of Enumclaw. Our sample drivers got a quote for $3,395, which is the second-cheapest price we found behind Progressive.

Mutual of Enumclaw home insurance coverage review
We were very impressed by the breadth of homeowners coverage options from Mutual of Enumclaw.
The most notable offering for Enumclaw customers is wildfire protection.
If you have a homeowners policy and your home is threatened by wildfires, Mutual of Enumclaw will dispatch its own private team of firefighters to keep your home safe — at no additional cost beyond your home insurance policy. It works with Wildfire Defense Systems Inc. to guard the homes of its customers in case of fires.
Even if you don’t live in a fire-prone area, there are plenty of useful coverage options, especially if you live in a rural area. For example, Enumclaw’s service line coverage will cover damage to your sewer, natural gas or electrical lines, which are longer and therefore more prone to damage in rural areas.
Other notable options include lock and key coverage, extended replacement cost, emergency living expenses and pet injury coverage.
