It's been very easy to be a part of State Farm as a whole. My parents have been there for years and eventually it went to me. I was searching for insurance for awhile till I thought of State Farm. Clearly they are the front runner in the insurance world of this country. State Farm has been around for a very very very long time and I don't see the company going away any time soon. Just look at their track record, they are far superior compared to other insurance companies like Progressive.

I had a minor accident in a rental car. Before renting I checked with my State Farm agent who assured me that my policy covers rental. Yet while renting in Florida I was advised by the car rental agent to purchase supplemental liability which I did. I reported properly the accident to State Farm and car rental. Had two conversations with State Farm claim office, reporting all the details including the fact that I purchased extra insurance. The State Farm claim agent suggested that the extra insurance will cover my deductible. On their request I emailed the car rental agreement and the accident report.
Yesterday (8 days after I emailed documents; rental agreement and accident report) I received voice mail from State Farm to call them and to fax copy of the rental agreement. I called the given number, which turned to be wrong number since my case was evidently moved to other department which, as they explained deals with the car rentals. Eventually being bounced through two agents. I was connect to one who assured me that "the bus stops here!" And he said "I need extra information", "What was the date of the accident?" His question came after my two interviews with the State Farm claims agents and after he received the accident report (which I emailed). It sounds that he did not bother even to look at the file in his database. He admitted having accident report which certainly had the date of accident.
Evidently the other document, rental agreement "was lost" even though I have sent two documents attached to the same email. Based on being bounced from department to department and on what I perceive as incompetence agents in the claim departments, I am very concerned that my case will be misrepresented by the State Farm as it negotiates compensation with the car rental agency. I have been with State Farm for many years, but not I have second thoughts. What has happened to "Being a good neighbor is not just a slogan. "Being a good neighbor" is not just a slogan; it's a promise." as copied from their website https://www.statefarm.com/about-us.

I first found State Farm online and it was very helpful and informative about what was covered and even offered custom coverage made to suit my needs. When I went in their office everyone was very friendly and my quote online was saved in their system. I was not forced to get anything I did not want. Thank you State Farm!

I actually just switched to State Farm. The agent has been very friendly And helpful as he has helped me switch over. I was unhappy with the service I received from my last auto insurance company, and I really didn't like that they kept raising their rates. State Farm is giving me better coverage for just a little more than half of the price. I'm also excited that they automatically include roadside assistance. I feel like I am better protected and saving money now that I am with State Farm.

I have been with State Farm for over 20 years and I have been satisfied with their coverage and response to claims. My agent recently retired and I thought about changing companies but I'm glad I didn't.

I am happy with State Farm and the coverage and personal touches they provide.

I am a life-long customer of State Farm. I have never had a problem dealing with them, and am completely satisfied. The agent who took over when my agent finally retired has continued offering the same good service, advice, and assistance I have come to rely on over the years. I have had just a few claims over the years, but I know that should I need to use their claims service, things will be handled quickly, efficiently, and fairly. I don't even bother checking rates or coverage with any other companies, because I already know I have the best coverage for me already.

Had State Farm for over a year. Bought my son a different car (4 door hatchback with a small non turbo 4 cylinder engine). Had been paying $75 a month for him and his car. Went online to pay my bill, $225 a month!!! Called my agent and they had no idea why. Our family has no ticket, no accidents, no claims. They claim it was a rate increase. Our car insurance was $250 last month. Now it's $489!? How do they stay in business? By ripping people off. Warn your friends and family. Shop around. There are better companies out there.

They have been pretty good. The only time I really had a problem with State Farm was when they told us our life insurance plan was no longer offered and tried to convince us to get one with less coverage that cost more money. The other thing I don't like is they make you do direct withdrawal. You should be able to write a check every month like any other bill. We've never had to make a claim and they find ways to give us a bit of grief every once in a while. Overall though I'll stick with State Farm.

State Farm has a wide range of insurance to bundle with your car insurance which can help keep monthly costs down. They also always let me know when I'm eligible for another discount.

Worst company ever. I got hit by a car, guy who did it tried to leave the scene of the accident and give me cash to not call the cops, but I called them anyway. He then lied to State Farm that I hit him and left the scene of the accident. WHY WOULD I CALL THE COPS AFTER I WAS HIT AND THEN LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT? I know why, because I didn't--he was lying. There was a police report. I have footage as well from my phone. State Farm didn't even bother to call me to listen to my side of the story, which was the truth. Without even talking to me, they found in HIS favor and TOTALLY SCREWED OVER A VICTIM OF A CAR ACCIDENT. VERY rude and uncaring on the phone.

State Farm has always tracked me down or finds me so that I pay my premiums which I have no problem paying. And I've been with them now for 36 years and I'm ready to walk away. 23 years ago I had two auto accidents and every time I had to call claims, there was a problem. But because the other driver in both accidents were at fault I ended up retaining an attorney who told me bottomline to stay away from State Farm Claims. Since I've been with State Farm my entire driving life of 36 and always paid my premiums on time and in full and now that my van has been stolen and a claim was submitted and the van recovered, I've been asked stupid questions like the tow yard was asking me for proof of insurance and registration. "Excuse me but the van was stolen and the proof of insurance and registration is in the van and you have the van. Just go and get it out of the van".
The claims adjuster has never called me but when I called in and spoke with him he copped an attitude. "Well you know what if it wasn't for people like me you wouldn't have a job". Meanwhile, the adjust, the agent and the receptionist do not communicate well with each other or me and the agent and receptionist are both in the same building separated by a wall and they don't speak to each other on the claim.
They've been saying "Jump" and I've been saying "How high?" and they don't do what they say they're going to do which is never call me about key to the van when they need to. And they are supposed to call me on my cell and they call on my landline so I can't always deal with the problem on the same day. I'm so ready to walk away but I have over $2000 a year in discounts with them. But I called around for quotes. Most places want $153 for just auto insurance when I have auto insurance and renters insurance for $120 a month. Yet I don't plan on staying with them or at least I don't want to.

State Farm has been a good insurance company since I haven't been in any wrecks or filed any claims. However, they are very expensive for not filing any claims and I will soon be switching.

We have been with State Farm for about a year now for our auto insurance. We received notice that our policy was not going to renewed due to too many claims. We've had three claims in one year so let's look at those. In October of 2014, while sitting at a red light, an individual turned into my car. He accepted full responsibility from the start. In April 2015, while stopped at a red light, a drunk driver barreled into the guy behind me going at least 45 mph. Sadly, he carried state minimum insurance at $10k. In August, my only at fault accident, was when my husband backed into a car in a parking lot. Minor damage. According to State Farm that is too many claims and they will cut you regardless of fault. I will make sure to never recommend State Farm to anyone and I will publicize their shady policies everywhere. Goodbye State Farm. You suck!

I went in to pay my account and asked to be covered until September. Assuming they knew what they were doing, I went about my business. In August, I received my renewal statement, which states "do not pay", you will be billed separately. Again, I believed I was still covered. When an accident occurred, I discovered that my insurance was not active as of the middle of August. I did not receive any notification about this and now they are still dragging their heels on my claim, almost 2 months later. As a single parent, I rely on my vehicle and this has created a serious hardship. I will not recommend this company to anyone and I will be searching for other options.

It was a good experience.

Not only do they have high customer service and very friendly representatives they have also always offered me affordable auto insurance at good rates with decent benefits.

First of all, the truck should quote lower than it originally did ($864); however, because we recently dropped one policy for a car that we no longer own, the new truck is now a replacement at almost double ($1143.00) the quoted premium because it hasn't been 40 days since we dropped the car we no longer own.

I was involved in an accident in May of 2015 in which I was rear ended on the highway. Even though I was not at fault, my case was still treated as if I had done something terribly wrong. I had pictures & witnesses etc. My car sat in the storage garage for 4 days until I called myself to check in & was told State Farm did not contact them. The last conversation I had with a rep from SF indicated they were having the car moved to a garage of my choice & that I would be contacted by the mechanic myself to discuss what the damages were. Come to find out the car was STILL not moved to the garage for repairs after almost a week. When I spoke with State Farm they told me that I was supposed to be the one to arrange my car to be moved from the storage facility to the garage after which I explained that the agent I spoke with did NOT make me aware of this & in fact told me "we will take care of this ma'am."
So the car was moved after about a dozen more phone calls to State Farm & the mechanic. Finally about a week later I get a call from SF asking me what the update was! When I called the mechanic they said, "that car has been sitting outside in our lot for almost a week while we had no knowledge who it belongs to or where it came from!" Unbelievable. Since then I have spent countless hours on the phone being transferred, treated disrespectfully & steered down the wrong path. They have been an absolute nightmare to deal with & are now sending bills claiming that I have a $5000 medical coverage that has now been exhausted & I'm responsible for anything leftover. Um no. I was NEVER told I had that maximum & in fact I was encouraged to see a doctor free of charge with no worries or responsibilities whatsoever.
Now I get slapped with a bill for over $1000 saying that 2 days prior to my final appointment, the benefits ran out! How are you going to post date a letter on 9/15 then expect me to get it before my final appointment on 9/17 just being like sorry good luck! Every single step of this process has been horrendous.

My son who is on my insurance with Geico was involved in a not at fault rear end by a woman carrying State Farm insurance. Damages done to our car was rear end damage as well as the car making horrible rattling sounds after the collision. Visual repairs were done by Chuck Nash Collision Center who are one sided with State Farm and will make recommendations to benefit the insurance not the owner of the vehicle. Once the auto body repairs were complete the car was taken to Chuck Nash Dealer for a diagnosis of the engine sound that was created by the accident. And the result of that was the sound is coming from the engine and no further explanation.
State Farm refused to pay for further diagnosis to determine what was creating the sound which is not just a little pinging or knocking, sounds like the motor wants to shake loose. State Farm said flat out that if the dealership could prove that the engine issue was done by the accident then they would pay for it but I would need to out of pocket the expenses to get that determination ($600+ at least to start looking into the problem and double or triple if they dig dipper into the motor). I got a second opinion from an actual dealership of the make of the car and was told there's no way to prove it was caused by the accident and that's the reason State Farm was not moving further paying additional fees. Now I'm out of pocket to pay for engine repairs on a vehicle that we have had less than a month due to a accident that was not our fault. Get legal advice if dealing with State Farm claims!!

I have been a State Farm policyholder for more than 12 years. In the last 3 years, my auto insurance has increased 20 percent per year (from $1,200 to $2,000/yr), all the while my deductibles have risen from $500 to $1000 and my coverage reduced (bodily injury, uninsured motor vehicle and property damage) by nearly 50 percent. I have no traffic violations and single minor accident ($800 claim) - slight tap on the bumper of an older car which happened a few months ago. I never admitted fault for the damage, as I believe it had been there for years. There was no damage to my car, or personal injuries. The other car was 10 +/- years old, with a cracked bumper. State Farm has declared the crack to be my fault; the other car was bright red and mine was white, yet there were no white marks on the other car and no red marks on mine (NO evidence.) As a result, my insurance went up another 20 percent this year! Unbelievable!!!
I have tried to dispute the claim to no avail. Furthermore, my agent tells me the Florida insurance commission has 'allowed' the increases throughout the state. QUESTION: If the 'commission' allows a rate increase, does that mean the company must increase rates on all its customers just to maximize their profits? I am all for business' making a profit, but 20% rate increases for several years on a customer with a clean record? I will never do business with State Farm again. "Like a Good Neighbor"- Hogwash!!!

On the evening of July 5th, I contacted MSV towing in Pittsburgh to tow my 1991 Ford Mustang manual transmission vehicle. After approximately an hour, MSV towing arrived and the operator connected my vehicle to the tow truck, but with the rear wheels in contact with the ground. After several miles of towing the tow truck driver observed white smoke coming from the rear of my vehicle. In addition, we could both hear a high-pitched squealing noise coming from the rear. He then pulled the truck to the side of the road. When I exited the vehicle I was overwhelmed by a thick cloud of white smoke. In addition, there was a strong smell of burning fluids and overheated metal. I immediately noticed a puddle of fluid dripping from the back of my engine and white smoke billowing out of my tailpipe. I got into my car and the car was still in first gear and the key was in the run position.
I believe that the tow truck operator started the car by pulling it in first gear with the key in the run position, causing catastrophic failure. And, I had an automotive expert tell me after inspecting the vehicle that, based on my observations and the condition of the motor, that it sounded as if that is what happened. I subsequently contacted the tow truck company owner in an effort to get him to reimburse me for the cost of repair, but he has refused to pay for anything other than the transmission. And, he has acknowledged to me, State Farm and the BBB that his driver was negligent.
I then submitted a claim under the comprehensive coverage of my auto policy to get the car repaired, but State Farm has refused to compensate me for this covered loss. I have asked State Farm Mutual for a copy of the failure analysis, the adjuster's report and any effort that they have made to properly evaluate this claim and I have received nothing. In fact, the denial letter is riddled with inaccuracies, including their claim that the damage was done to a 1999 Ford Mustang.
