Your prices are way too high. I drive one of the safest cars on the road, with lots of safety features, no accidents, no tickets. My car is a year older and I'm getting charged more!

Whenever I have a question or a problem, I call Kristin W. in the Manchester office. She is one of the reasons I stay with Farmers.

Very expensive, they have good claims service for cars but poor claim service for house damage caused by a falling tree. I had to report it twice.

I can't afford the full payment and need a monthly plan. It's a silly rule, especially considering I've made good payments and had a good history for 9 months.

Farmers has always been my favorite since I first started driving
They don't waste your time. They immediately get started on fixing my car. They are very communicative. It is just expensive, but I see why - superior support.

Everything is pretty much good with Farmers, but we Americans cannot afford our auto and home insurance going up $176 in a six-month period. Everything from insurance to groceries just keeps going up in prices. A good driver shouldn't have to experience that.

It's good, but lately, the rates keep going up and they want you to pay for two months when you renew, which sucks. It's hard enough to pay for one month. I wish they would do away with that.

Farmers' High Rates
Farmers consistently raises their rates significantly. I've experienced this in both Texas and Maine. However, I've switched to Progressive and have saved almost $2000 in total on our insurance needs. I wouldn't recommend Farmers Insurance to anyone.

No Follow-Through by State Farm
I asked for a bundling package for home and auto insurance. I assumed the representative, who had quoted the package, would proceed after I gave the okay for both. However, she never followed through. This is quite inept.

No Help!
I was involved in a no-fault accident. They didn't assist me with reimbursement, and I had to pay the deductible upfront. They increased my insurance renewal by over $500 a year for a car that was aging and had depreciated in value due to the repairs.

Needs Improvement in Customer Service
I've been with Farmers for many years. The customer service has a lot that needs improvement. The customer service representatives do not listen well, nor do they provide correct information. I asked for the percentage of discount on my policy from taking the AARP drivers course, and they were not able to tell me. They said it would take 7 days to get this information. This is unacceptable for an insurance company.

Not a Farmers fan
They changed my agent without notifying me. The rates increased every 6 months despite having zero at-fault claims. Also, the deductibles switched to percentages instead of a fixed amount.

Lax about keeping me informed about home and vehicle insurance!
They cancelled my fire insurance after I had already paid, and then sent a refund for the overpayment.
Cheryl
Verified Review
The rates at Farmers have increased. I've inquired about the percentage of the discount from AARP, but no one seems to know. This is not acceptable. This information should be readily available, not taking 5 to 7 days to obtain. I've been a long-time customer and have noticed a steady increase in rates. Please contact me regarding my policy.

Poor customer service
I've been insured with them for a long time. They decided not to renew my policy, forcing me to start a new one, which cost more money. I find this unfair considering the high cost of car insurance these days. I had my policy for 6 months, and when it came due, they said they weren't renewing it because I didn't send paperwork back to them. However, I never received any paperwork, though I did receive all other mail from them. I was then told they were no longer insuring people in California, which I find unjust as I've never had to file a claim with my car insurance. After all the years I was with them, I think it's not fair to customers who pay for insurance and can't keep it. I'm very disappointed and would never recommend them to anyone.

There's an annual membership fee of $30.00, but I'm not sure what it's for. The monthly insurance is expensive, especially considering I have two homes bundled with my auto insurance.

Bad Experience with Farmers
Farmers removed us from our Homeowners insurance, forcing us to scramble to find coverage. That was when we knew we would be leaving the Farmers family. Then, when our auto insurance costs doubled, we knew it was the end. We loved our broker, but not Farmers.

The service was great until there was a real need. Communication was very lacking. When a semi drove into the rear of our parked car, the claims handling was very poor. Our agent responded to me, but not to my husband. When our home flooded, getting questions answered was nearly impossible. Having services dropped after 25+ years without an explanation was inexcusable!

No one has contacted me. The rates keep increasing and I'm not sure why. No one has called to explain why this is happening. I'm wondering if it's still a good rate. I'm paying $4k for cars. One is a 17-year-old car that does about 2000 miles per year, one is used only for errands as I have a company vehicle and will be used for about 3-4000 miles per year. The third is about 20k per year.

Worst Insurance Group So Far
I've been working with them for about 2 years and always pay my bill on time. However, every 6 months when I renew, my bill goes up more and more. I'm currently paying about $105 a month for liability on a 2001 Monte Carlo. Despite having no accidents or tickets, my rate still keeps increasing. That's why I'm shopping around and hopefully, this will be my last time with them.
