Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.

Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Calling this MetLife - Auto Insurance number should go right to a real human being
In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this MetLife - Auto Insurance phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.

What are the hours and when should I call?

MetLife - Auto Insurance operates the call center for this 800-638-5433 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,334 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the MetLife - Auto Insurance call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this MetLife - Auto Insurance phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like MetLife - Auto Insurance staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call MetLife - Auto Insurance is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Friday. Again, this is based on a sample of 1,334 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Friday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call MetLife - Auto Insurance

In summation, the best day to call MetLife - Auto Insurance is Thursday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that MetLife - Auto Insurance staffs the call center well on Thursday.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.

Calling this MetLife - Auto Insurance Customer Number

Calling this number seems to be totally ineffective if you aren't already a client, thanks to what appears to be a bizarre "3 strikes and you're out" rule. When you call this number, the first thing you notice is that you're told you have reached Farmers Insurance, not MetLife. This is because Farmers now owns MetLife, after it completed an acquisition of MetLife in 2021, meaning MetLife's home and auto insurance programs are now under the Farmers umbrella.

When calling this number, you're asked about things such as auto claims, making a payment on your bill and other possible actions for policy holders. You're also given the option to request a specific person by giving their extension.

However, getting a new policy or getting information is not one of the available options, and there's no way to get past this chokepoint. If you go through the menu without giving a choice the first time, you're given a more complete breakdown of the options, with a button on your keypad attached to each one of them.

The system will go through all of the options a total of three times, giving you the number options on the keypad on the second and third tries. If you fail to make a valid entry after three turns through the automated system, you'll be taken to a message that says that your call cannot be completed at this time, and you should try your call again later. At that point, the system will automatically hang up.

The caller doesn't have any recourse or any way to stay on the line; you're only given three chances to make a valid entry, and it must be something that's attached to already holding a policy with Farmers.

Overall, I think this is a rather inefficient setup that forces the potential customer to find an alternate option for getting a quote if they're not yet in the Farmers family. This number doesn't appear to be the only number for Farmers, so it's possible that they only intend this number for existing clients to help cut down on wait time. The fact that the system only allows you three chances before you're disconnected supports this theory. It appears that Farmers wants to minimize wait times for its existing clients, and it's willing to sacrifice those who aren't clients in order to prioritize the people already paying them.

As such, I would likely use this number if I were already a Farmers client, as it appears the company cares about cutting back on wait times. However, I'd look elsewhere if I was trying to find quote information.
