Is State Farm A Good Insurance Company? Reviews From Over 21,636 Customers

I'm pleased with State Farm. I shop rates often and no one beats them for my needs.

She kept me in line and got auto pay hooked up. Love it!

They keep raising their prices.

Prices vary, hard to price.

Fair and accommodating

Car insurance in Maryland is absolutely horrible. Many people in my community have registered their auto tags in Virginia where prices are more affordable.

Low rates including my renter's insurance.

Good but expensive.

They are good. Coverage is solid and the cost is reasonable for SC.

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.

Way too expensive.

Had my first claim with a broken windshield. They took care of everything, but it's just pricey.

They are good. I haven’t had to use them yet, but in the past 50 years, I had them for 38 years with no problem!

Very good service, excellent claims service—never any complaints from the repair shop.

Very nice agents to talk with.

It was okay, but the agent never met with me. She has her assistants do all of the follow-up work. I am planning to change insurance companies because of her lack of interest in keeping me as a customer, plus the rates are going up quickly.

Mike Wesley and his team have been serving my house and vehicle insurance policies and helping with claims for over 40 years. They are the best!

Things were done in a timely manner.

I have had no issues. I'm very happy.

They were very helpful and patient because they had to walk me through the online process since I am not good with computers.

I appreciate it when they say they emailed me my insurance cards, and when I tell them nothing could be opened, they immediately call me to see what the problem was. Thanks!

Get the lowest insurance rates you can and be mindful of increased rates every 6 months regardless of your driving record.

Very good people to work with.

Despite the heavy advertisement from Progressive, State Farm offers a much more affordable plan.

One of the best experiences with insurance companies I’ve had.

Excellent but expensive.

I've received excellent service, but my rates keep increasing without any claims on my policies.

Very happy. I had a claim and they took care of everything.

It's gotten too expensive.

Excellent, I have had State Farm for over 40 years and occasionally I do shop around, but nobody beats State Farm.

I have been with State Farm for 14 years. It's just that it's getting too expensive, so I'm looking at other options.

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.

I have no issues.

I missed a payment because I was taking care of an elderly lady who passed away. I didn't even realize I missed the payment because I also had to find another place to live, as I was living at her house. My whole world was turned upside down, and I was heartbroken from the loss. Now, I'm having trouble finding insurance because I missed a payment with State Farm. That's that, I guess.

No problems or claims. I would like it to be less expensive.

The cost goes up faster than my Social Security and pension income, especially for my age group of 79+.

I've never had to use it, but I appreciate knowing it’s there.

Anything I needed, I just called, and they took care of it and called me back to say it was done.

Professional service in a timely manner, thank you!

Excellent agent, but car insurance with State Farm is too expensive!

Customer service is always good, including roadside assistance. Unfortunately, it's a little expensive for my budget.

They offer higher coverage for lower premiums and deductions.

Lower cost than before.

It was fair.

I definitely recommend my insurance provider. They offer very good service and a good price!

I have been with State Farm for many, many years. I have checked all of the other companies that advertise that they will save me hundreds of dollars per year, and none of them have been able to do so.

Friendly and very helpful.

Less money for the coverage than Geico or Progressive.

I would like to be able to get a quote online without having to speak to a salesperson. If the quote was acceptable, I would contact the sales representative.

Seems a little pricey. I would like to shop around.

I love my agent in Oakdale. They're amazing!

Coverage is good. Cost is the best compared to others, even with an umbrella policy.

It's expensive.

Great people, but too expensive even with the discount through the Safe and Save program.

Great insurance company. I'm looking for cheaper insurance.

It took too long for State Farm to approve funds for repairs.

I've been with State Farm for a while, and they have always treated me nicely and respectfully. They handle all my issues quickly and efficiently. I know I'm in good hands in case a problem arises.

Best price.

They are very helpful. It's easy to get them on the phone, and so far, they have the best price.

Shop around. Most of the insurance search engines recommend insurers that pay the most, not necessarily the best or cheapest.

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.

They are way too expensive. I’ve been with them since 2002, never had a claim, and my insurance premium doubled.

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.

I've been with State Farm for a long time. They have added a bunch of rules, and you don't know what your payment is from month to month. They've made aggressive changes.

Much more affordable with my new insurance company and best of all, they are polite and friendly.

Too expensive - they doubled my payment.

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

Rates never went down and always went substantially up.

For seniors with an excellent driving record, this company offers cheaper insurance, especially for those with older cars.

I've checked around and a lot of other insurance companies are higher. Check the fine print.

Prices go up, no value for long-time customers with no claims.

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.

Not satisfied with a recent claim, a no-fault, only one I have had in 40 years, and they increased my insurance premium by $400 a year. No thank you, I will be shopping for something at a better price, possibly for seniors.

I spent hours on hold on the phone and spoke with multiple people who couldn't make a decision and had to talk to a manager. For what they charged, it was a terrible experience.

I have been with them for years with no complaints until now when they increased rates unexpectedly.

It is too high. I pay $166 a month, and I should not be paying more than $66 a month.

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.

Prices keep going up.

Shop around. Bundling doesn't always save money.

Check around to see if there are other options. State Farm, once you start with them, will raise the price on every renewal.

Not happy with State Farm. I'm going to another insurance company because their rates are much lower than $1,000 per month for 3 cars.

Excellent service, but it's just expensive.

Very little communication - just when rates are increased. Agent never available - inquiries handled by office staff with not much clarification.

Not good when it went from $189 a month to $474.

Same insurance. Half the price.

The price goes up every month, and I've never filed a claim.

I was with State Farm for 40 years and, as a faithful customer, I was disappointed by the high prices I was paying. When I contacted my agent to inform them that I was switching to another company, they seemed indifferent and did not ask what they could do to keep me with State Farm. There was no reaction.

They have good customer service, a nice app, and handled my claim easily. However, they are way overpriced.

I am a 67-year-old woman with no tickets, no DUI, no accidents, and still, I was charged $218.26 for a year. They don't help senior citizens at all, just like anyone else.

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%.

When you have a claim, they raise your insurance tremendously.

Mediocre. Everyone strives to provide subpar coverage for the most expensive premium. They won't take their time to customize the policy based on your needs (state mandates) and budget.

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.

High price, renewal went up $500.

I have had State Farm for about 30 years. This past January, we had an ice storm where trees fell on the house and on three vehicles. They would not cover anything on the claim I filed. I would not recommend them to anybody.

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.

Watch their varying charges that change monthly. Some months I paid $255 and some months I paid $207 depending on their drive safe tracker use.

We have full coverage. They wouldn't pay for any repairs due to hail damage. The windshield was completely shattered and 4 out of the 5 lights were broken. They said it was totaled. We only bought the van 2 months ago. This company is disappointing.

They have tried to overcharge me a couple of different times.

They don’t help with discounts and they try to deviate from any savings.

It's okay, but the price keeps going up.

Too expensive for low miles driven.

I’ve been with State Farm for about 25 years. I have had no tickets or accidents, and never a DUI. In the last three years, my rates doubled, then dropped $40, then went back up $40. I feel that their rates, or maybe it’s just the agent I had, are way out of control. I canceled with them and went to another insurance company for $80 less per month and have better coverage.

State Farm has become expensive over the years. Even though my policy became cheaper, they canceled it by not renewing for the next quarterly cycle because they couldn't verify another driver on the policy for underwriting. However, the person doesn't own the vehicle—I do—so there was no reason to cancel me. Anyway, I was involved in a hit-and-run by another driver recently, and State Farm didn't give me a discount on the deductible. I also had to pay taxes on the rental car I had for a few days. So, I am through with them.

I have had no major claims, but the glass coverage is very good.

I'm a senior citizen who hardly ever drives, yet I'm paying an outrageous bill monthly.

Rates are not transparent. Premiums have increased every few months with no explanation why. I have a clean driving record and no claims.

I have been with State Farm for over 5 years. I have minimum coverage, my car is a 2002, and I have had no tickets or accidents, yet they still charge me over $100 a month. I am currently checking on getting a better rate with a different company.

I am a 47-year customer of State Farm, but this year's home insurance policy is way too high, $1500 more than 2 other reputable competitors! What would you do?

Be wary when making changes because the price you're quoted may not be accurate. When you ask, you'll hear it's because of changes that were made. It's frustrating. If you email a certain party at State Farm, you might be lucky if you hear back from that person. From what I was told, anyone can respond to an email even if it's not addressed to them. I asked to speak to Chase, but I guess he wasn't allowed to speak for himself. The increase was supposed to continue for three months. The price quoted was $120, but I was billed $193, and I was supposed to pay that for three months for a six-month policy. Does that make sense to you? Ask questions and then ask other companies. I was happy with State Farm until I went from liability to full coverage and Chase wouldn't contact me back. I think Kimmie took care of it and that increase.

Rates rise as you grow older, not the way insurance should be. Good drivers should be rewarded, not punished for the faults of others.

I've never had to use it, but they more than doubled the cost in one year.

The rates keep going up without a single violation or claim in over 5 years.

No personal contact. Customer service is fair. Good insurance coverage. Too expensive. You have to understand the "insurance" business and determine what coverage you need on your own. It's frustrating when trying to obtain information. The agent is never available. You always have to talk to staff and never speak to any person twice.

Much too expensive. I have been with them for years and have a clean license.

State Farm is my current insurance provider, and they are horrible. The Kings Park office has done nothing but raise my rates, even though I have no tickets or accidents.

The price is getting too high.

Started at a good rate, but it went up every month after that.

I was given one amount, and the second bill doubled with State Farm.

I’m retired and only drive 10 to 15 miles a week. They just raised my rate by 30%. My presumption is they hooked me with a really low rate and then, for no reason, tried to slip in rate increases for which my agent can give me no explanation.
