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

State Farm is expensive, and I don’t understand my policy at all. So, talk to the company you are contemplating and compare what coverage you really need, not just what the company wants to sell you.

Customer service is good. Coverage is good but expensive.

Good but overpriced.

Great, other than the price being almost twice what it should be. The agent does nothing, and I have never met him. We went to his office; he didn’t come to us. I have been with them since 1979 and expect some loyalty rewards, but none were given. I love State Farm, but they need to do better.

It's about the people. I use the State Farm that is 300 miles from where I live, with many State Farm agencies along the way. It's about the people. One little part-time agent kept me updated on what was going on with the insurance company. Katie started talking to me 9 weeks before I needed a new policy, and she is why I moved to State Farm and is still the reason because she is my agent.

No problems - multiple vehicles covered, decades-long customers.

It's been affordable.

I’ve had great service, but I can’t seem to get a lower rate. I’ve had no accidents or tickets for the many years I’ve been driving, but I’m still paying over $200.00 a month. They say it’s because of other drivers that my rates are so high. It’s getting hard to pay my bills when I’m on a fixed income.

I've been with State Farm since 1989, so they must be doing something right.

Good for the most part in terms of coverage and customer service. I just don't like that the rates keep increasing even though we have a good driving record, no traffic violations, and we don't travel as much. Plus, we're in our senior years.

I never had a problem with them.

The rates are high compared to other companies.

I have had State Farm for over 30 years.

I would always go with State Farm. It's a very good insurance company.

Never a problem with State Farm.

I have been dealing with State Farm for over 50 years and will continue with them.

Excellent

I love State Farm. They have been very good insurance for me.

No problem with them. I've been with them for close to 60 years.

It is a little higher than other insurers. The discount we get with both home and auto policies is the only reason we don't change.

I've been with State Farm for over 25 years, and the rates keep going up. I've been loyal, but it seems one-sided.

Expensive with large increases every 6 months even though I have had no claims.

Not good! I've been with them for years. My aunts, son, cousin, and nephew were all with State Farm for years, and they all changed because their rates kept going up without any accidents or violations. The same thing is happening to me! That's why I am looking for cheaper, better insurance plans!

I have received many quotes from others, and no one has been better.

Excellent customer service and always being informed about my policy. A big shout out to State Farm, thank you very much! 👍

I just wish that the price was a little lower. I'm almost seventy years old, I'm on a fixed income, and I don't drive maybe three days out of the week, and that's mainly to church or right in town. I just think the rates could be a little lower for elderly folk.

So far, so good. I haven't had it long enough to really give an opinion.

State Farm auto insurance is about $2000 less per 6 months than my former insurance company (The Hartford), for the exact same coverage.

Overall, the price for auto, home, and umbrella policies is cheaper than the competitors I checked with!

State Farm is a good, solid insurance company. Rates are competitive.

They just dropped me as of the May 30, 2026 renewal period.

Good experience so far.

They have been very good to me.

I have always liked State Farm. I've had no problems, and I can talk to the owner. He is very honest and polite. They are very good.

Tap into discount advantages, open to questions, respectful, responds in a timely manner, knowledgeable.

Needs to have more discounts for having a policy with them, safe driving, and for a clean driving record.

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.

Very insightful on insurance policies and liabilities.

State Farm had been very reliable, but the cost continued to go up.

My current rate is much more reasonable than other companies.

It's a little expensive.

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.

It saved me a lot of money.

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.

Super easy to deal with. Cheapest price around. Great customer service.

Shannon was excellent. She got the job done and knew what she was doing! Very happy!

Very expensive.

I believe that my current car insurance is, so far, the best.

Excellent. Always helpful with recommendations.

Good customer service.

Very expensive compared to other quotes.

I am satisfied with their coverage.

My premium has gone down since I first joined State Farm.

They're great, but a little expensive.

Too high a premium for us older folks with no accidents, tickets, or DUIs (not only in three years but EVER!)

I haven't had a claim. I'm disappointed that windshields aren't covered when damaged.

They are very helpful in trying to save a person money.

Too expensive.

Customer service is excellent. I think their price is high.

Excellent customer service.

Expensive rates keep increasing without notification.

I’ve been with the company for 30 years. I’ve had a couple of claims, and now they want to drop me.

The price keeps increasing.

State Farm will do anything they can to only fix a portion of what’s damaged, even if your state has a line-of-sight law. This can make your home’s appearance not match and look ridiculous. It feels like they expect customers to take them to court to get it resolved because they know they have the money to outlast individuals in court.

My insurance rates increased even though I had no accidents. When I called customer service at the office I'm insured with, they seemed inexperienced and unhelpful.

I'm 79 years old and I drive twice a week, less than 3,000 miles a year, but the policy is too expensive. I have a perfect driving record.

Car insurance, so far, is fine with State Farm. It's the homeowners policies I'm frustrated about. State Farm is higher priced and after about 40 years of paying them, when I needed help for the first time, they paid and then dropped me. Not okay!

Raised my rates without explaining why.

Sorry, but customer service was disappointing. The agent was very rude, and the premiums were way too high for the coverage I wanted. They asked questions that didn’t seem to take price into account.

I have no tickets, no accidents, and the price keeps going up.

Rates just keep going up. We have friends with State Farm who have newer cars, and they pay way less than we do! What's up with that?

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 monthly payment is way too high. Even though I was with them for many years, the premium kept going up.

Not great, but better than $300 a month.

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.

I had to switch to the minimum coverage when my full coverage cost tripled.

It seems I'm paying a higher rate every time I look at my bill.

Much too expensive. About $2500/year for three cars driven, in total, less than 5000 miles.

I want better rates. I've had no accidents or incidents in 20 years, but the rates keep going up.

I switched to Progressive because they offered a quote at a third of the price State Farm was offering me.

Rates were raised significantly with no explanation.

They don’t reach out to try to lower costs or see if there are any discounts available.

The only problem I have is the cost of my insurance.

They will always work with you on your payments.

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.

Way too expensive and restrictive in coverage.

Very expensive. I've been with State Farm for over 40 years with no claims, and they are still raising rates on me.

After decades of loyalty, I continue to pay more (3-4x) and they continue to pay less.

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?

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.

I appreciate the customer service, but I feel they are overpriced. I have been comparing with other companies, and SF is twice what others have quoted me.

Average but higher cost.

The price has gone sky-high, and I wouldn't recommend it to a friend. It has increased from $103.00 to $187.00, which I think is ridiculous.

My policy went up about 40% with one liability claim. I'm looking for another policy. I thought I had accident forgiveness on my first claim.

They consistently increase rates.

My policy increased consistently, even with no accidents and no tickets. Then when I had an accident, they dropped my coverage.

A $175 quote turned into $220 in less than a year. Other insurers are offering half that.

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.

Too expensive. I have nothing in my record. I'm a senior, 64 years old, with 3 cars insured and a house, and no discounts.

They keep changing my rates, and we have had no tickets or accidents. I think our rate is high.

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.

$145 per month is outrageously high to me.

They raised the yearly cost by thousands per year. I have had the policy for over 10 years with no claims.

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.

State Farm is good but has gotten expensive.

Insurance coverage itself is really good. However, rates have increased beyond what I can currently handle.

They were charging way too much. They were charging me $1900 for my house every six months, and I have no mortgage. They wouldn't let me pay monthly.

Service is average so far. I am disappointed with the premium.

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?).

Too expensive, especially because most of it goes to the agent. I am going to try a broker.

Pricing for driving less than 3,000 miles per year is way too high.

Mediocre... I had a flat tire on the road. They referred me to a tow company that actually offered a higher price than the one I eventually chose.

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.

They charge too much for senior citizens. What happened to a discount and the price of $29.99?

State Farm is not good; they increased my rates for no reason.

Shop around. Many places offer the same coverage cheaper. I'm currently looking for a better rate. I wouldn’t recommend this company.

My current insurance is a lot cheaper than State Farm insurance.

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 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.
