Confused
Everything was great until they allowed me to go until June without realizing I hadn't paid February's bill. I had no idea I was behind, as far as I knew, I was caught up. Then, 3 months later, I received a bill with three late fees for three different times. They didn't bill me until 3 months later, and they didn't even inform me about February's bill until June. Other than that, they're really great with what they offer, like roadside assistance. I haven't seen the discount yet, but hopefully, it will be applied as they say.

Keeping State Farm
State Farm is best if you get to know your agent. The better that relationship is, the better the experience with the agency as a whole. For bundled insurance, they have some of the best rates. We saved extra so that we could raise our deductible, and we put the premium difference in a high-interest bank account, so that we can pay small claims.

Business Relationship Disadvantages
Longevity as a client doesn’t matter; rates continue to increase every 6 months. It's a good practice to continue to shop around and move your insurance coverage to different insurance companies for auto and home policies. I've been with my insurance company for over 15 years, and if I knew the information I have today, I wouldn't have been a loyal customer for so long. You get nothing in return, like better rates, etc.

Poor Claims Adjustment
State Farm is good about paying a claim, but their claims adjuster is out of touch with reality. They need to see what the repair company will charge and then plan accordingly. In my case, the VW dealer wanted $3,100 for repair, but State Farm had me pay that amount plus $500 more (total $3,600). WHY?!

My Terrible Experience with State Farm
After over 5 years with State Farm, I've decided to move on after my next term. This company did not treat me well. I used their app to update my new vehicle information, and they charged me $200. Their system changed my information without my permission. All I did was enter the new vehicle information, but the system altered my policy details, such as indicating I didn't own my home when I do. My agent couldn't help me. So, good for you, State Farm. You got me for $200, but you also lost a loyal customer.

Hard to communicate with Claims Handler.
Very difficult to get responses from the claims handler. I felt the only time I got responses was after complaining to the insurance agent about the lack of any response. The insurance agent, on the other hand, was very responsive.

Insurance Premiums Too High
The pricing is too high, and your "Drive and Save" program has been deceptive since its introduction a few years back. One day, my rate suddenly went up. When I called my agent, I was told to enroll in "Drive and Save" to get a discount off my current rate. How can I get a "discount" off my "regular" rate when my rate just went up? All "Drive and Save" would have done is reduce my rate to what it was before you raised it. I can actually save 40% with another provider unless you can match their rates and give me the minimum required state coverages. Your agents are great; they are friendly, professional, and quick to reply and adjust any policy requests. I highly rate them all 5 stars. Thank you.

Nightmare Experience
My car policy was canceled after only 3 months because of the money my former insurance company paid out for an accident two years ago. I told the agent about my driving history and was issued a higher coverage than needed at my request, paid on time, and did the Drive Safe program. I even combined my home and car policy with this company. Too bad for them that my house policy follows me wherever I go. It was over $200 a month with the coverage I put on it.

Stay away from ST. Farm!
My wife and I recently moved away from ST Farm after 45 years because their rates skyrocketed and their claims service was terrible. Our agent admitted to us that their rates were much more expensive to help cover the class action lawsuits.

They are out of their minds offering that kind of coverage. If they want to compete with State Farm, they must provide better coverage with better prices.

Frustrated with Rising Premiums
I'm sick of the constant increases! My insurance goes up every renewal, with no accidents, no claims, and no tickets. It's frustrating. I've been with SF for over 7 years, and I'm looking for something better. I'm tired of being a good driver and being rewarded with higher premiums. It's ridiculous.

Great customer service from staff! However, there's a lack of consideration for lower rates for folks who have never had a wreck, low mileage use, no DUIs, etc. These are meaningful issues for consideration when calculating cost!

Disappointed
Not good in terms of price. They paid pretty fast when a tornado caused a tree to fall on my SUV with me in it. Totaled my SUV. Then proceeded to raise my premium almost 100% for a 76-year-old with 50 years of driving experience, with only 1 ticket EVER and 1 or 2 not-my-fault accidents in 50 years. I've had to give up some activities in order to afford it until I find a different policy.

Tired of Paying Too Much
Way too expensive. Customer service is severely lacking. No responses to messages and questions. Agents don’t care about anything except padding their pockets with undeserved commissions. Been with them for 20+ years and the rates are horrendous for good driving. The only way to get bigger discounts is to apply this device to your vehicle to monitor every single move while driving. I don’t need a babysitter device to prove my safety habits. Credit reports are used to determine rates and that's outrageous! So if your credit score is low, expect much higher rates. Sick and tired of paying high rates because of insurance agents needing their commissions.

Unhappy customer
I’ve been with State Farm since 1962. Just because I’m 83 does not mean I should be paying $80 a month for a car that doesn’t leave my carport but maybe once a month for 5 miles. That’s ridiculous. I have asked them many times about reducing my rate and all they tell me is, I’m getting the best rate possible. I don’t believe it.

Don't Value Their Customers and Poor Customer Service with High Prices
The insurance is too expensive, and the prices keep going up with no discounts ever given for long-time customers. Additionally, there is poor communication when opening claims for my house roof, and I was denied full repair for a 20-year-old roof.

My insurance agent was not very approachable. Every time I called him, he would try to move the conversation away from him to another department. I did not feel appreciated and respected as a client. The claims department was excellent, and so was customer service, both handling the case very professionally after our son was involved in an accident.

At the End of My Rope
I have not been satisfied with the price of my insurance ever since I purchased my Tesla. The customer service from my agent is sometimes good, but at other times it's not too good. For example, when I removed a red Dodge pickup truck from my policy, the red Chevrolet truck on my best friend's completely separate policy was removed instead. I clearly stated the red Dodge pickup, and she repeated it back to me, yet still removed the wrong vehicle from the wrong policy altogether. This has happened another time when one of my three Toyota Priuses was removed from the policy despite giving the VIN number for a different vehicle to be removed. Also, the new billing system they are using is horrible.

Pass the Vaseline
They keep trying to raise my rate. If I wasn't keeping an eye on what they take from my bank, I would be paying hundreds a month instead of $130, and that's still too much for a 14-year-old car with liability only. But they won't budge off what they charge, and I know there are better deals. There have to be better options than what I'm paying. That's why I'm looking for something else to compare it to or change over to.

Beware
Based on my experience, State Farm practices a loss leader approach to get your business. They started me out with a low competitive rate to get my business and then hiked it up dramatically for no reason. I’m retired, I drive 10 or 15 miles a week, and I’ve had no violations, accidents, or anything else, and they raised my rate by 30%.

Check out other carriers and compare. Do this often. State Farm has always been a good insurer, but in recent years they seem to be having problems. They pulled out of Florida and seem to be having problems keeping the customer base they had developed. I hope they find their way to become a great company again.

Everything is good until you need the insurance
You can be with State Farm for 15 years for cars and home insurance, but when you have a claim, you will get 15 numbers and 15 people to deal with. Parts that are obviously damaged are not quoted, and you start with back and forth emails.
