The Good with the Bad
I really liked my agents, but they sold me on things I didn't understand, so the rates ended up being too high.

I'm paying almost $700 for a 6-month renewal, while other companies are displaying 6-month renewals as low as $175. Please tell me how this can be. At this point, I am thinking of going to insurance for veterans that give a better rate.

Great Experience but Expensive
The experience is great, but considering the money we spend yearly, it's quite high. We end up overpaying, and I know we all could use at least $1,000 a month back.

I would recommend my State Farm Agent in Webster NY
My State Farm Insurance agent is the reason I have stayed with State Farm for over 30 years. They are helpful when I need answers and fast with changing my policy when I ask. I haven’t had a lot of claims, but the ones I have had have been resolved quickly.

Discriminated Against Because of My Age
Overpriced. I don’t drive 500 miles a year, but I'm paying more now than I did when I had Farm Bureau before I switched to State Farm for the same truck. I have been driving for 61 years and not even a parking ticket.

SF Rating
I have had no problems with SF up until now. Claims handling was great. My problem is knowing I can get insurance much cheaper as I am 70 years old. All over the internet and email is information on how seniors can get car and home insurance very low. As I have mine through an agent, they say that is why it's so high.

Go higher with State Farm
If you can afford a higher deductible, you’ll have a lower premium. Better be a good driver though! 😁

State Farm User for 53 Years
I have been using State Farm for car, auto, life, personal belongings, and umbrella insurance since 1975 and have always been very satisfied, except with the repairs from a water leak. The leak was repaired correctly, but the floor repair by a company recommended by State Farm ruined our floor and cannot be refinished again because the company sanded the floor incorrectly. This probably lowered the value of our home.

I have been a customer of State Farm Insurance for many years. They are the best company on the market. I have compared them often to other companies for price, and they always have a lower cost for me with excellent service.

Overpaying for Insurance
I have been with State Farm Insurance from 1967 to 2026, which would be 59 years, minus 2 1/2 years I was in the military. State Farm Insurance was always great to me, and I always had a local State Farm Insurance office and agent that made everything simple. I did enjoy having that kind of experience and service. After all the years that I’ve been with them and asking if there was any way that I could qualify for a reduced rate and being told no so quickly or without checking made my blood boil. I’ve been hearing this for years, “If you have an insurance agent you’re throwing your money away.” After contacting a number of insurance companies and getting insurance quotes for the same type of coverage, I’m finding that I have been paying premiums that were way too high. I can save $1,500-$1,750 a year for the same type of coverage, not dealing with an insurance agent. That’s a lot of money, so I started looking for insurance companies that can give me better rates for the same coverage I had.

My State Farm Agency Settlement of Minor Vehicle Bump

State Farm has terrible customer service and took months to process two separate claims. My car needed $7,000 - $8,000 worth of repairs, which my body shop said could have been completed in two weeks. However, I dropped my car off in early December and didn’t get it back until mid-February. I asked the shop what the delay was and was advised the insurance company was refusing to pay for quality, factory parts. On a separate claim, my wife hit a deer which totaled her car. We did receive a fair payment for this loss, however, it took several months as we were constantly bounced around several departments with little to no communication.

Liberty Woes
I feel like I'm being punished for a car accident where I was hit from behind, which totaled my 2012 Jeep Liberty Limited and pushed me into the car in front of me. The other driver also had State Farm. I received $7,100 to get another 2012 Liberty Sport. Now, my monthly insurance with State Farm is $146, up from $80. Other companies, like Progressive, see the totaled Jeep and won't insure my current Jeep (same year, too confusing for them?).

They raised their rates four times over a six-month period for no reason, and I have a perfect driving record for 40 years. They claim it's the type of car, but it's not a Ferrari. My Corvette was three times cheaper at $120.00 per month versus $130, then they raised it to $220 a month for the new car.

I had a claim with State Farm, and they did not supply me with enough money to buy another vehicle. Mine was totaled, and they sent it to salvage and paid my lender, but I was left with no car and no down payment. I was relieved of the debt to the lender, which is something, but it's just not the way I wanted it. I wanted to buy the car from them as salvage.

State Farm plays with numbers!
State Farm raised my payment in May 2025 to $352.30, June $352.30, July $355.42, August $355.42, September $355.43, October $467.60, November $495.20, December $495.20, January $464.27, February $468.58. This should be illegal; no notice in the mail. They are just playing with numbers, and I’m over it. That’s how I feel! This is crazy! Can State Farm do this? Tips to my friends: stay away.

Evidently, LexisNexis said something negative about me, but I can't get my insurance company to tell me what it is. So my rates went up because of that (they did tell me that).

Don't Trust Your Local State Farm Agency
I was with them for over 2 years, thinking I was in good hands, but found out my policy was not very good. My coverage was not adequate for the money I was paying them! I moved out and got another insurance company as well as homeowners insurance.

Overall, State Farm has been okay, but we haven’t had any claims for years. We feel like they are charging too much, and we haven’t had any claims. We have 2 houses insured with them and 2 vehicles, but there are no special rates for long-time (years) customers.

I've been with State Farm for years. I don't understand why if you add a vehicle without all the coverages as your existing policy, you have to get a new one, and then you don't receive any of your discounts, including longevity. You are rated as a new customer.

Way too expensive. $145.00 for just the legal minimum, and I'm planning to buy a scooter, which I don't need insurance for. Other companies want $260.00 to $1,700.00 per month. I haven't had any tickets in 7 years and no DUIs since 1992. Car insurance is frustrating.

Twenty+ Years Customer
I have been with my current insurance company for over 20 years. I've only had one accident in all that time. My premiums have steadily increased, and it has been difficult asking if there are any discounts available for me. I'm retired now and don't drive as much as when I was working. They don't seem to have any discounts for seniors or folks that don't drive as much anymore.

State Farm Insurance Experience
I had a disappointing experience with State Farm. After my wife had two strokes, I took her off the policy. I was told that my premium would decrease, but instead, it increased by $30.00/month. When I filed a claim for flood damage caused by a water softener unit in my home, they categorized it as sewage backup. They also informed me that mold was not covered by the policy. I am now in the process of switching to a different company. I have been with State Farm for almost 60 years, and I feel dissatisfied with their service.

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.

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.

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.
