Positive insurance agency
Claims are very easy to file. My policy covers home, auto, and boat. I think the insurance is high, but I checked around and no one can beat their price.

Keep looking!
I worked for State Farm for 27 years. I don’t like change and I have stuck with them even after retirement. I don’t do much with my car insurance and just pay the prices. My problem would be with my homeowners after making changes to my house that I thought would lower my prices. It did not happen and I am quite disappointed about that because I put a lot of money out of my own pocket. Enough said.

I would recommend them based on their acceptance of customers, but the only thing is that it is much more expensive compared to other insurance companies.

Review for State Farm
I have been with them for over 25 years and they give me a loyalty discount. I have to watch closely because sometimes they have things on the policy that I don't have anymore, like watercraft, motorhome, etc. I thought it was high, but no one has beaten their price. I have my condo on there and a $1,000,000 umbrella. I have good coverage for accidents.

Last year was okay, but I have not received my bill for this year. If it keeps going up, I will have to find another insurer. I am a senior on Social Security.

Happy State Farm customer for over 25 years.
If you're looking for multiple options at affordable rates, choose State Farm. I've been with them for over 25 years, and each time I try to find lower rates with comparable coverage, it ends without success at any other insurance company. The biggest difference I've experienced involves the annual premium for Homeowner's Insurance. I've received estimates from other carriers that have been twice the amount I pay at State Farm. Bundled with Auto coverage, I've not found a more affordable insurance company.

State Farm is Great
Overall, I was trying to get quotes from several insurance companies. I had a third-party agent who contacted several insurance companies, but she wasn't able to find me a quote for less than $150 a month, which would be my monthly payment. That's crazy for an old car like my 1999 Honda Accord EX, and at the time, my car wasn't insured. So, I started my own search. I found State Farm, and let's just say I was able to get insured for less than $100. I paid that for 5 months. Before my birthday on February 1st, I called and spoke to an agent, and she was able to reduce my monthly payment to $47 and change.

State Farm makes me happy
I've been with them for about 4 years now. They are wonderful; if I have a problem, they help solve it really fast. The staff members are very kind, and for the payment, being with them for four years, I'm in a good place. A lot of other insurance companies cost more money, sometimes double or triple, so I'm happy with State Farm.

False Advertisement
I left State Farm thinking perhaps I could find a better price, now that I don't drive as much. I switched to Progressive. Progressive offered me a great deal, but after signing with them, they began immediately to raise their rates. I contacted them and was told the original offer was a promotion and that it was described in the fine print. I have looked back several times and can find no fine print stating that. I will return to State Farm.

State Farm is too expensive!
I still have State Farm, but I'm looking for lower rates with full coverage! I received offers from Progressive, Allstate, and others using the same coverage specs, and prices were lower. I asked State Farm to review my rates and get them closer to the other car insurance offers. So far, I've not received any better offers.

Overpaying for State Farm
I’m a good customer, but the price keeps going up and I barely ever reach out to them for anything. I just keep paying my overpriced insurance bill, which is very annoying.
Mark
Verified Review
Moderately happy customer.
My questions were answered. The rate is high. When I had a claim regarding the "at fault" other person, the agent said, "They're a good company. Do you want to deal with them yourself?" I asked, "Why am I paying you?" Maybe it was just that particular agent, but it seemed a bit lazy. I was able to have payments drafted from my bank, which always kept me current. I liked that.

Be aware of State Farm
They are using claims from towing against me as well as existing information that they knew prior to giving me a policy. They also refused to give me a refund when I turned in my plates and provided proof. I had no car on the policy, and they wouldn't tell me what credit I had when I added a new car.

My local agent is great. The national level, not so much. I was in an accident two years ago and was told I would get no help from your company even though I was not at fault and the other driver was cited. I never got reimbursed for my expenses to get home to Florida from Virginia.

I think they treated me unfairly because of my age. I can’t prove it though. I had a backing accident in a department store parking lot. Very little damage to the other person’s car, none to mine. They raised my insurance $40 a month.

Prices are too high. Inoperable cars shouldn't be charged, or at least the rates should be lowered. I'll be in contact soon about these issues.

State Farm is unbelievably higher than most. Being a 75-year-old woman who drives my car maybe twice a week, I should not be paying $190 a month for a car that’s seven years old with only 18,000 miles on it.

State Farm Beware: They Are Not on Your Side
I have State Farm and I have full coverage. They offered me a roadside assistance package for free. However, because I used it 5 times over several years, they are dropping me as a customer. So they give me a package for free, and I use it, and now I'm being punished for it. Really great, State Farm.

State Farm - A Company That Has Lost Its Roots
State Farm has changed a lot since big losses with forest fires and hurricane losses in California and Florida. They "established" their claims department as a separate profit center, and claims are difficult to get done. Home insurance is also very difficult as well. As an example, five homes around my home have had their roofs replaced due to hail damage. I have been with them for thirty years, and the company is not the same. Profits are driving all decisions! Getting quotes to change.

Confused
I’ve been with State Farm for over 25 years and it has been a great company to work with. Four months ago, I lapsed on a monthly payment. I received one email notifying me that my payment was not processed, and today, almost four months later, I received a call from my agent saying that my policy had been canceled! No previous phone calls, no other emails, no letters that I saw! Now, to reinstate, the new rate is $100 more per month! Not good business practice, especially for a loyal customer!

Major Insurance Policy Changes
Overpriced. Exorbitant policy renewal rates. No new policies offered for Homeowners, Renters, Earthquakes, and Personal Liability. Bundle all insurance needs.
John S

Not Price Competitive
Overpriced. Not accepting new applicants for auto, homeowners, renters, earthquake, and personal liability insurance policies for residents of California. The only way to get the best possible insurance price is to bundle several policies with the same insurance company at the time of purchase.

Not worth paying just for the name
They were good at first. I've been with them for many years, but their rates keep going up. I started paying $260 for two cars with full coverage and a $250 deductible, but then it went up to $360. So I adjusted it back down to $280, and now it’s back up to $306. I'm definitely going to get another insurance company.

Poor customer service
They increase prices on some products. If you contact them about it, they never return your call to explain why the price increased. Then they send emails to try and get you to pay the premium. I get tired of paying higher premiums because someone else files claims somewhere across the country. That actually has nothing to do with me. Buy insurance somewhere else.

Frustrated with Insurance Companies

They misinformed us about the homeowners insurance, saying we would have to renew the policy every year. I called and asked if our insurance was okay, and the guy I spoke with said it was fine. Our heat pump caught on fire due to a power surge, and when we filed a claim a few days later, the adjuster called and said we no longer had insurance. Apparently, it was canceled on February 14th. We tried to go in person to fix it, but our agent was out, so another guy was working on it and said he was trying to get ahold of Dover Insurance. We never heard from him. We called the next day, but the agent was busy. The receptionist said she would have him call in a few minutes, and he finally called back at 3:40. By this point, we found car and homeowners insurance elsewhere, and it was significantly cheaper. They were totally useless when we were trying to get the insurance reinstated. Oh, and because it was canceled, it was going to be a huge price to get it back. State Farm totally and completely dropped the ball. Very disappointed with that agency.

The agents have all been top-notch since I was 16 years old. I went with Progressive for a few years but have come back to them. I'm 61, a retired crane/heavy equipment operator for 40 years. If you have any idea about the operation of machinery and the concentration it demands, that bleeds over to personal life decisions daily. I have had no accidents since 2003, no DUI or speeding tickets in I can't remember how long. I pay $393.12 a month.
