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 Advertising
I left State Farm thinking 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 up with them, they immediately began raising their rates. I contacted them and was told the original offer was a promotion and that it was described in the fine print. I’ve looked back several times and can’t find any fine print stating that. I’ll be returning to State Farm.

Price is too high
I've had my current car insurance company for over 30 years. They are okay. However, now that I'm retired and their prices keep going up, the fact that they are doing away with the defensive driving discount, and they don't offer any incentives for seniors or someone who doesn't drive as much, I had no choice but to switch companies. The new company will save me about $30.00 a month.

A horse and buggy hit my car, and they claimed it was my fault because it was not a motor vehicle. They considered my car totaled. The title is missing, so the claim is still open. It's been a year this month.

The price only goes up, never down or stays the same. They do not take care of people who have been with them for years. I was with them for over 20 years, and all they did was raise the premium every 6 months.

I have been insured with State Farm for over 30 years, even though they keep increasing my payments. In August, I had a slight fender bender that was not my fault, and no one at State Farm would help me until late November when I stopped in, once again, to see if the other party had filed a claim. A young man, whom I had never talked to before, told me we could file a claim ourselves. I was astounded, and within a month, it was settled.

It wasn’t my fault in the accident and we’re getting overcharged.
It's no good. All insurance companies have steady growth, and we, the good drivers, are paying for it! I'm 46 years old, and I've never had a ticket. I was in an accident in August. It was not my fault, and now my payments are going up to $350 a month. Why? It wasn’t my fault, and I never got a ticket. I'm 100% not responsible for the accident, but it doesn’t matter what company I go to, they're all overcharging me. I got quotes of $170, $290, and then suddenly it's $273, $300, $354. I'm like, what the heck?

Technical Issues
My problem with State Farm is that to get a discount, they require a transponder to be installed in the car. The transponder communicates with a cell phone to feed data back to State Farm. The only problem is it doesn’t work, and I’ve spent an hour or two on the phone with my agent trying to get it to work with no luck. I’m retired, so I hardly ever drive the car. We have driven it as much trying to get the transponder to work as I would on a normal basis.

State Farm Shortcomings
State Farm has become remote and inflexible with me. I've not had a ticket in over 4 decades, not made a claim with State Farm for house or car...EVER, and my rates only go up. I've spoken with a number of representatives at the Curtis Hansen SLC office, and none of them offered any coherent insight on how to lower my rates.

State Farm Insurance Not Worth the Cost
Very expensive and keeps going up in price, not worth it. Roadside assistance is also very expensive. You can't use the tow service because it only covers 10 miles, and then it's $200 for a tow after that. Overall, very much not worth it. I'm not happy with this company at all.

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.

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.
