Great agent
My agent and her team have never let me down. If there is something going on, they are on it promptly. Renee is a top-shelf agent. I really believe that if there is a problem, she and her team address it immediately. Thank you.

2000 Mustang Coverage
Since my car is 26 years old, State Farm offers me comprehensive coverage, whereas other auto insurance carriers don't offer comprehensive coverage.

Better price for good drivers
It's good, but the premium is too high and they don’t give discounts, just increments.

Very good in all an insurance company can do except for the price. Here in New York, all insurance companies are ridiculous in the price we pay.

Where's the savings?
I spoke to them about their senior citizens discount, and they said they have all the discounts regarding our policy costs. Last year, we paid slightly over $2,000 for two cars and home insurance policies!

Fast and easy to get new policies coming from Allstate after 40 years. Better price for equal coverage. Would like to see a better rate for seniors that drive less than 8K miles a year with forever clean driving records!

Summary of State Farm Performance
After a period of the Tucson agent leaving and transferring to a new agent, and then the policy for CA being taken over by a CA agent, things seem to go smoothly.

Comments
I have had very little contact with the office of this agent. I have not even received a Christmas card, a birthday card, or a call, but that doesn’t matter because the times that I’ve had claims, which has only been twice in the past 5-6 years, they have responded excellently. However, that is the claims office, not my agent.

About State Farm Insurance
No matter how many cars I have, each quote covers additional liability. If I am the only driver, why is liability added over and over again? I can still drive only one car at a time. The service through an agent is more than fair. I guess they are comparable to anything else available on the market.

Great Customer Service
Endurance was difficult to work with. They only agreed to cover my car repairs when I mentioned I wanted to cancel the policy, which was not what they informed Cutter Services. This has been the second time they refused to pay anything for my repairs, and I've only submitted three repair jobs since 2023. For the first one, I still had to pay over $300; for the second one, I paid the entire bill of $3,000; and the third repair bill was $7,000, which they denied and has not yet been done. So, I canceled my coverage with Endurance.

Shopping for Coverage for Less Money
I have been with State Farm for decades and have had excellent service in three states. At this time, I feel that I’m paying too much and would like the same support for less money. I drive less than 200 miles a year with no tickets or accidents. I’m 90 years old and need to pay less.

Still a Good Neighbor!
State Farm is good and trustworthy. I dislike the fact that they increase the payment, but just recently they surprised me and lowered it. I would tell a friend that State Farm is actually good, especially when I'm paying under $100.00, and so far no other insurance has beaten that yet!

Yay! State Farm!
Over the years, we have been clients of several different State Farm agencies across the country, from SC to California and different small towns. I have nothing but good things to say about this company. They have taken care of us and our family in an excellent fashion. They have provided the utmost support, care, and attention. I am looking around for ways to decrease our monthly costs, however, due to severely limited income since we are both retired and the economy is terrible. State Farm has been doing a wonderful job and providing us with the absolute best resources for many years.

No Notice
After 40 years without a glitch, no contact was made to us when we were late on one item out of three in our bundle. This happened a few months after State Farm made their first claim payout in decades. The amount was well under the repair cost. For being late, our coverage was increased by $132 every 6 months. Now they told us they never call anymore if a payment is late. Not the insurance company to retire with.

Totally disappointed in State Farm
State Farm was doing okay until we had two claims in two months. Someone ran into our truck, and then one of those concrete stop things in the parking space at Golden Corral proceeded to rip the protective barrier from underneath my car. Now State Farm has decided they’re going to non-renew us, and we’re having trouble finding insurance that we can afford. These were circumstances beyond our control. We totally regret ever insuring with State Farm and will never do it again.

My experience with State Farm is unbelievable. Almost every month, something goes up. My apartment insurance went from $17 to $38, and I'm in desperate need of new car insurance and apartment insurance. Can you help?

What's Going On At State Farm?
Something is going on with State Farm. They used to be on the ball, but now they are missing things. Our car was totaled, yet they did not refund the remainder of our unused premium. We still had $500 for rental car expenses, yet they made us pay for the last 3 days even though we were still waiting for the settlement check they snail-mailed us.

Premiums are way too high for senior citizens. Agents don’t offer any kind of discounts or advice on how to lower your premium.

Very rough for a widow of almost 86.
Claims are fast, and the local agent Aaron is very helpful. However, the prices are way too high for a widow on social security only, which is why I have to look for cheaper insurance. How can I afford $928.00 for 6 months? I can't, but I'm sorry when I only make $1,728.00 a month.

Terrible. I have been with State Farm for over 30 years. They cover my car and home. I am desperately trying to get rid of them immediately. I am a senior with no DUIs or car accidents. I only use my car for church, doctor appointments, and errands. I just purchased a car in 2024 and have less than 2500 miles on it. Their monthly prices are unbelievable.

I'm currently not happy with State Farm. When I asked what difference it would make to take my husband off our policy, the agent took him off and increased our bill. When I found out and asked that he not be taken off, that caused another increase. Initially, I was paying about $150 for 6 months. Now it's $860! I am currently looking into other insurance options.

They raise my premium yearly. It started at $89 and now, 5 years later, it is $189. So, I am currently looking for a carrier who will offer me a reasonable rate.

Frustrated with StateFarm
I've been with StateFarm for 31 years, carrying high limits of coverage: 250/500/250 full coverage, comprehensive collision, and PIP coverage for uninsured drivers. Unfortunately, no other companies have been able to save me money to switch. It took five years to settle an accident claim where I was not at fault. My truck should have been a total loss, but StateFarm chose to fix it to save their own expenses. Five years to settle my first claim with my long history with this company is frustrating.

Horrible experience with State Farm
I have had State Farm since I was 16, and it was good. However, in the past year, they have increased my insurance rates significantly for no reason. I have had no accidents, no tickets, and I barely drive more than 5 miles a day. My rate went from $114.00 to $198.00 in 2 months for no reason.

Totaled Damaged Vehicle - Lowest Payment
I'm disappointed in the claims department. They paid less than the vehicle was worth. There were no adjustments for new tires, which should have been removed from the totaled auto. The tires were valued at $1,400. I was told that State Farm Insurance pays the lowest among insurance companies for totaled vehicles.

Unexpected Rate Increases
I don't like how they just raise the insurance rates for no reason and without notifying you. I have a perfect driving record and still receive no discounts on car insurance. I also have no claims on my house insurance, yet when my gutters were damaged by a storm and my front fell completely off, it disappeared from my yard the next morning. People are always looking for things to take to the scrap yard. I didn't want to file a claim because when you do, they raise your insurance to recoup their money. It's a bad way to do business.

How about low-mileage, clean record Senior Citizen households?
Being on a household plan does provide a lower premium, which is good. However, I'm a senior citizen living on Social Security and drive an average of only 2,500 miles per year. I have no accidents and no DUIs but still pay $57 per month for only 60/30 Liability, which increases yearly. It seems like there should be a better household plan with a lower premium for my circumstances.

Auto Claims Which Are Not Correct
The insurance claim agents never look at the accidents to see when the claimants overcharge State Farm. State Farm never investigates the claims fairly because they will never leave their computers to check out what is true or false. State Farm paid $18,000 for a fender bender I had in SF in 2021 because I ran into an older car in front of me. That was ridiculous.

Frustrated with Policy Cancellation
They are canceling my policy, so I'd give them a zero! I've had a great record for 50 years. No tickets, no accidents, always paid on time, good credit score, CDL for 30 years. I had an accident where I was an innocent bystander. It totaled my car of 18 years. It hurt! Then I got a different car, and it got keyed. So I turned it in. Had no idea it was strike three, you're out. I'm hurt, I'm angry. I paid $93 a month for full coverage, including renters. Now I'm looking at $400 a month or just liability. No renters! I won't ever refer anyone to them. I've taken two sons and my granddaughter. I hope they go elsewhere. Everyone says State Farm is notorious for this.

Too expensive for us, but it is a bundle. It feels like their customer service is not as good as when we first began using it 25 years ago. Their roadside service is not always up to par.
