Liberty National life insurance rates

The premiums vary between states, products and rate classes, with the best rates reserved for young, healthy non-smokers. The insurer doesn’t disclose its rates online, so you’ll need to contact a local agent to get an idea of how much you’ll pay.

How to get a quote from Liberty National life insurance

To apply for coverage, you’ll need to contact a local agent. To do this:

  1. Go to the Liberty National website. To find a local agent, type in your ZIP code and click Search.
  2. A list of agents in your state will pop up, along with their contact details.

If you can’t find an agent near you, call the main office on 800-333-0637 weekdays 7.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, or email service@libertynational.com.

I’ve signed up. What happens next?

You’ll be assigned to an agent, who will answer your questions and talk you through the next steps. If you’re eligible for a policy, you’ll be able to apply over the phone.

Once your policy has been approved, create an online account on Liberty National’s eService Center to review your policy, update your details, and make online payments.

What types of life insurance coverage does Liberty National offer?

Liberty National sells life insurance through a network of local, state-licensed professionals. It offers term and whole life policies, as well as accident insurance.

  • Term life. These policies provide protection for a set period of time — usually 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years. Unlike most providers, Liberty National doesn’t disclose these details online. To find out more, you’ll need to discuss your requirements with a local agent.
  • Whole life. Whole life insurance offers lifelong coverage, and a portion of each premium is invested to give your policy a cash value. The premiums stay the same for the life of the policy. Once you’ve accumulated enough cash value, you can take out loans against your policy during your lifetime.
  • Accident insurance. The insurer has two accident policies:
    • Accident Protector Max kicks in to cover losses linked to a covered accident. It doesn’t account for injury or loss as a result of sickness.
    • Accidental Death pays out a death benefit if you die in an accident before the age of 75. The premiums stay level, and you can’t purchase coverage past the age of 75.

What riders can I add to my policy?

The insurer isn’t transparent about its riders on the site, but it does mention a waiver-of-premium rider, which allows you to waive your premiums if you suffer a disability, critical illness or injury.
