What's Going On At State Farm?
Reviewed in Ohio on February 10, 2026
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.

When I called to cancel, they said they would match the new company's rate. Why didn't they automatically adjust my payment to the best rate?

A++Why we picked this company
GEICO is one of the largest insurers in the country and brings long-term financial strength to its range of auto insurance offerings. Since GEICO has 16 auto insurance discounts — the most of any major insurer — Maryland drivers could save significantly if they qualify for multiple discounts. Drivers can save up to 23% for an airbag discount or anti-theft system, up to 22% for being accident-free for five years, and up to 25% for insuring multiple vehicles.
Pros

Optional 24/7 emergency roadside service available

It was okay, but now they are raising the price on my policy by $572.20. They said it's because of rates for ambulances, fire, and police in Gilford. That doesn't seem to have anything to do with my auto insurance, but that's what they said.

Poor Business Practice
Reviewed in Michigan on January 30, 2026
The price is a bit cheaper than average at first. The issue is that after a month, they claimed they never received the qualifying medical insurance letter, changed your PIP allocations, and charged you hundreds more than the original quote. They make you jump through hoops to get your money back, then only return a minute fraction of it and claim it was the customer's fault. They will not return the money wrongfully taken for "lack of medical coverage letter"—they received it! And let's just for amusement say they never received it, you'd think an email, text, or call to say "Hey, we don't have the medical coverage letter, and we need that or we will deduct such and such on such and such date" would be appropriate... but no, they'd rather be shady! Additionally, getting a service agent at certain times can be difficult!

Our editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Maryland to assess which ones offer the best rates, coverage options, customer service, and savings to drivers. We prioritized competitive rates, 24/7 customer service, low-mileage discounts or programs, safe driving discounts, homeownership discounts or bundling options, and specialty or supplemental coverages.
How to get the best car insurance in Maryland
To get the best car insurance in Maryland, start by getting a clear picture of how you use your car, what you can afford to pay, and what discounts you can take advantage of. Here are a few important factors to consider to help you find the best cheap car insurance.
Consider how much coverage you need
Maryland requires all drivers to have a minimum amount of liability insurance. If you finance or lease a car, your lender will likely require you to also carry collision and comprehensive car insurance that covers damage to the vehicle itself.[2] Considering factors like your budget, driving record, and vehicle age and condition can help you decide what optional coverages make sense, too.
Think about your budget and cash flow
Reducing your coverage and choosing a higher deductible are two common ways to save money on car insurance. But if you opt for those changes, ensure you can afford to pay for repairs after an incident. For example, if you own your car and have only liability insurance, you’d have to cover repairs out of pocket in an at-fault accident. Although higher deductibles will lower your monthly premiums, you’ll need to pay that cost up front after an incident.
Shop around and compare quotes
Shopping around with different companies, getting at least three quotes, and comparing car insurance costs are the Insurance Information Institute’s top recommendations for how to save money on car insurance.[3] These strategies will also help you find the best car insurance. You’ll learn more about coverage options and discounts while researching companies, making it easier to find the best fit.
Read reviews from policyholders
Finding out what current or past policyholders have to say about an insurance company can help you decide on the best choice for you. Insurify has collected more than 55,000 user reviews for 76 insurers, and Trustpilot is another popular consumer review website to explore. Industry scores and financial ratings from agencies like J.D. Power and AM Best can also tell you about an insurer’s customer service and ability to pay out claims.
Figure out what discounts you could qualify for
Learning about common auto insurance discounts can help you find a good car insurance company and save you money in the process. Insurers often offer discounts for low-mileage drivers, good students, accident-free drivers, paying your premium in full, bundling policies, insuring multiple vehicles, and installing safety features, among other things.
Average cost of car insurance in Maryland
The average monthly cost of car insurance in Maryland is $177 for liability-only insurance and $261 for full coverage. Maryland drivers pay considerably more than the national average, which is $99 for liability coverage and $174 for full coverage.
Maryland’s average rates have been higher than the national average for several years, but the gap widened in 2024 as average rates in Maryland climbed. A spike in traffic fatalities in 2024 could partially explain the increase, according to Insurify’s car insurance report.
