Great to start out but the rates go higher for no reason
They like to raise rates even though we have not had accidents, tickets, or DUIs.

Tentative comments on my experience with State Farm insurance
I have been a customer for less than a year. I do not believe I am qualified to advise anyone yet.

Price is the Name of the Game
They get you in with a low rate, then after a couple of years, they increase your price.

Customer treatment
They were very courteous and professional and listened to my side of the story. It was a very minor accident in the LA Fitness parking lot on Arthur Hill Ave., Staten Island. I appreciate the way I was treated by your company. You are professionals.

How Much Will Rates Increase?
I am not certain how State Farm will raise their rates for home and auto insurance. They have been a quality company for the many years I have been with them.

State Farm customer service is excellent. I believe I am overcharged for the vehicle and mileage I use per year, but am not willing to switch companies.

Sometimes "big" is more complicated

Can't afford it.
The people and service have been great for over 30 years, but even after no accidents or tickets, my premiums have increased 2 to 3 times a year for the last few years, sometimes as much as double. I'm on a fixed income, and I can't handle that.

The high cost of having State Farm insurance
It's gotten to the point where I can't afford State Farm. On the other hand, we have had State Farm for several years, and when I needed them, they came through for us.

Good, other than I have to wait until I renew my policy in 6 months. Can I get them to rerun my thing because I had some things fall off last month?

Happy Customer
I have been with SF for over 8 years. At the time, they had the lowest rates, and even now their rates are still better than quotes received currently. I enjoy all the perks and discounts available to me for being a good driver for over 50 years. I love the customer service, and although my rates have risen slightly in the last few years, I feel comfortable knowing I am with a reputable firm that keeps me posted on all the variables associated with my policy. I cannot honestly give advice to anyone seeking car insurance; I just know I am content with being a policyholder. Things are wild in everything these days, but I enjoy knowing I can pick up the phone and get immediate answers from a person that knows and understands my needs.

Price is competitive but they can deny renewal for any large payout.
It is very competitive with other major insurance companies. My claim for the house was handled efficiently last year. Then State Farm sent a letter to inform me of no renewal for the homeowner policy due to the large claim from water damage. We had to find another insurance company for coverage within a month.

Living with State Farm: Not the Best but Not the Worst
I have been with State Farm for over 30 years. In all that time, I only had one claim for a roof replacement due to hail. The customer service in the claims department was not as great as I expected, but in the end, I did receive a roof. Over the years, I’ve called other companies directly to compare rates, and no one was able to reduce my home and auto enough to justify switching.

Fifty Years as a Happy State Farm Customer
I have been a State Farm customer for more than fifty years. I do feel your prices are just a little more than they should be for someone who has been with you for the number of years that I have, but I have never had a problem and will continue to keep State Farm for my insurance needs.

Watch the bait and switch
All I can say is after the first 6 months, they raised the prices by 100 dollars.

Profits up, rates up 🤔
Rates increase, service quality decreases, company profits increase, claims paid far less than profits, yet rates just doubled for umbrella policy.

State Farm Auto Insurance
I've been with State Farm since the early '80s. Service and claims have been good, but over the last few years, they stopped sending me bills in the mail and are forcing me to pay online. Also, my premium has increased steadily without a corresponding increase in value. I'm paying too much considering my driving record.

State Farm doesn't offer any discounts and other insurance companies do!
There are never any discounts. I read that there were discounts for members over 75, but my agent never notified me of any discounts. I am seriously thinking about changing to another company, where I can get a discount. My prices have also gone up, without any accidents, no traffic tickets, and I drive less than 12 miles every other day. Something is wrong with this. The insurance agents are getting the money and I am paying for that!

Where are the discounts I keep hearing about?
Check others out first. Their rates go up, and my driving is less than 5 miles a day with no senior rates.

The product is way overpriced for what you get. I don't know about claims as I've never had to file a claim with them.

They were great until a couple of years ago when my monthly premium doubled and became more than I could afford. This was despite bundling car and home insurance.

Stay away from State Farm
I have been with State Farm for more than 40 years. They used to cover my home and auto until they stopped covering homes in Florida. In all that time, I had one or two minor claims that were handled by my agent and handled very well. When I needed to file a recent claim for being t-boned by an uninsured driver who ran a red light, the claim was handled by a central office that never returned calls, lowballed everything, and still has not reimbursed me for car rental expenses, towing charges, etc. They are not my good neighbor.

Huge price jump after 1 year
They started out with a really good price. However, the price increased by over 100% after 1 year. This was due to having an accident that was not my fault as well as a towing claim. Not due to any points on my license or anything that was actually preventable. They made no efforts to keep me as a customer, so at the end of this coverage period, I will be switching to a different company.

Good coverage but outrageous cost
My car insurance has more than doubled in the past year. I had a minor accident on my own property with no damage other than my front bumper. It was a $2,000 claim. My rate went from $67 to almost $100, and 2 months later it is over $150 with no explanation. I'm seeking other insurance.

Watch out for their driver tracking device needed to qualify for a discount. They want access to your personal online accounts and bank account.

Having multiple vehicles and State Farm bundles them so payments come due at the same time, which puts a burden on folks with a fixed income. I plan on changing companies.

State Farm Insurance Too High
Rates are too high for me, especially since I'm on a fixed income and receiving SNAP benefits.
Cathy
Verified Review
Not sure I'll stay
My premium goes up almost every month. I'm the only one on my policy and have no accidents or tickets, and I'm paying $139 just for liability. I know it's because of my credit score and not my driving record, which I feel is very unfair to me. I'm a good driver with a low credit score due to a separation. It's truly not fair.
Mark

Grumpy about being overcharged
I'd like to switch to an internet insurance company, but what worries me is the lack of personal interaction if I have a question. My two trucks are getting older, but the insurance premiums keep going up. I know that the agents have to make money, but for as long as I've been with this company, I feel like I've paid enough salaries. I guess I just have to get accustomed to the internet or find another office that doesn't have a huge turnover of staff. Five years and I've never seen the same agent twice.

Do it yourself
I went to my local office to file a claim for my windshield. I was informed that I needed to do it myself. Then I tried to provide my mileage, and got the same answer. So, I question why I don’t have insurance with an online company?

The rates are too high, and they charge $10 if you are 5 days late. I thought it was 10 days. If your car is over 8 years old, the rates should be going down, not up.

Overcharged. When filing a claim, they do nothing other than fail to answer the phone, and we have to do everything. Consider finding another insurance company. Not State Farm.

Rates Never Drop
Claims are handled quickly. Rates remain steady or increase with each renewal, even with no claims filed. There are too many high-profile endorsers for their commercials, and I believe rates are based on this.

Never buy insurance from a friend?
In my 30 years (+ or -), I have never received a phone call from my agent. Why would State Farm increase my car insurance rates because of a claim this year (2025) which was less than $5,000? My car insurance more than doubled from 2024 to 2025 ($1,400 to $2,900 respectively). Age discrimination? Absolutely, I am 82 years old. P.S. I have never had a claim on my homeowners insurance.

Poor service
Keep copies of all correspondence and policy updates/changes. They want you to verify your coverage every 4 months. I removed PIP from both of my vehicles in February, and they kept it on my policy and charged me for it every month until August. That was with me going into the office at least 8 times to get it corrected. The agent kept telling me the problem was with underwriters. Never going back to them again.

They don’t care about you. Your rate will increase five times more than it should without any DUI or accident.
