Mike ** State Farm Office in West Seneca, Ny is not a good office. This past summer they quoted me $126 per month for car insurance. The first checking account withdrawal was for $140, several months later the withdrawal was $164. They kept raising the price and made excuses. If you have to be insured by State Farm use John ** in Orchard Park, Ny.

I have been with State Farm for a little over 7 years now, since my first car. Just last year I got into two wrecks because LIFE HAPPENS. 1 was deemed 50/50 at fault. So one wreck where I was at fault in 7 years calls for me to be dropped. WOW. Nothing prior to that but they sent me a letter saying they are dropping me. I called and complained about it and they didn't seem to care. I remember a commercial saying "tired of paying for insurance and getting dropped for using what you pay for?" They were talking about State Farm. I will bad mouth them to everyone I know. I have always paid them on time and I get dropped for being at fault for 1 and a half accidents in one year after almost 10 years. Makes sense.

I have had State Farm for my auto insurance almost 20+ years; on auto-pay (never late)... All those years not one ticket nor accidents. Last year, my husband had an accident and I got a less than 20 mph speeding ticket. Rates went up and we paid monthly then suddenly received a letter in the mail that State Farm was dropping us. This company is not loyal to long term customers whatsoever!

My experience with State Farm automobile insurance overall has been a positive one. I have only had to file a claim once due to an accident that occurred about eighteen months ago. The agent I dealt with was very accommodating and helped me find a rental car the same day. They were also fairly quick on the evaluation of the damage done to my vehicle. I received an appraisal within ten days, and I received a quick payment for my total car. The agents I spoke were really helpful. When I had questions someone was always available to walk me through the process and make sure my concerns were addressed.

I switched to State Farm last year from another major company and have never been happier about an insurance decision. Our agent worked with us to get a great deal when we bundled our home and auto insurance and we pay less for much better coverage with State Farm now.

State Farm is a lot better than other auto insurance companies. In the past, companies like The General and Safe Auto would jack up the rate every time I had to renew the policy, even though I never filed a claim or caused any trouble. State Farm keeps the rate steady and reasonable. I've been with them for a few years, and I'm glad I don't have to hop around between companies anymore.

I've been with State Farm for about ten years and overall, I'm extremely happy with their coverage and the value I get for the money I pay. I've seen how bad some of my family member's plans are and I'm glad I've stuck it out with State Farm.

State Farm has always been there to help me when I needed them most. A few times I have been involved in car accidents and it meant so much for the claims adjusters to help me get my car repaired, my medical bills paid, and just to have someone from State Farm to call and see how I was feeling and doing. Being involved in a car accident is stressful enough, but having people help you through it makes everything that much better.

I've been a customer of State Farm for over 27 years.

I find State Farm rates to be fair and will continue to use them in the future. Overall, I'm satisfied with my coverage.

I have had State Farm Auto Insurance for about two years now. I switched to State Farm when my teenager got his driver's license. My previous insurance was going to go up too much for me, so I decided to comparison shop for a better rate.

I am completely happy with my State Farm auto insurance and would highly recommend it to anyone!

I've been with State Farm for over 20 years. Lynn Bullard and his staff have no integrity & credibility. I filed 2 claims and when I spoke to Bullard's staff they stated they had nothing to with my claims, they just washed their hands & passed on the buck. My vehicle got flooded, water in engine, transmission, axles, brake system, water contamination in the fuel, water also flooded the inside of my truck causing electrical shortages & received body damage from Hurricane Florence. The blue book value is $8000.00 on my truck & the gentleman that assessed my truck wrote down that it was driveable & cut me a check for $1000.00.
I asked him lets take it for a drive but he refused. I spoke Bullard & he stated to me he was going to send another assessor the next day, well it been 3 weeks & no one has shown up. I'm a retired federal officer & Bullard & his staff are no different than the convicts that are locked up. The same thing with my house, I got cheated on that too. Good thing I took pictures & I'm going public with this. I will contact everyone that got taken advantage of & file Tort lawsuit. My number is **.

When my husband was hit by another driver, State Farm helped out right away. They found a place to repair it within 2 miles of my house and arranged for a rental while it was being fixed. Everything went as planned and the car was fixed. There were no unexpected additional fees beyond my deductible. Very happy with the customer service I received.

My agent is ALWAYS AVAILABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE his HONESTY. He has NEVER TRIED to PUSH PRODUCTS or certain coverage. I feel certain he gave us the best rate for the coverage we asked for. The few accidents we've been in over the past 25 years were handled quickly and fairly. I was impressed with the way it was handled. Their rates are competitive - not the cheapest, but customer service makes up for it. In 25 years we've never had reason to complain about State Farm.

State Farm really meets my needs. I got into a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago and they not only covered the repair bill on my bike but also seemed genuinely concerned about my health and well being that is the mark of a great insurance company. They feel more like family and less like they are just after profit. 4 out of 5 stars!

State Farm gives you a wide selection of plans or the ability to customize what you need for your budget. It allows you to really get the items you think will benefit you most and leave behind the stuff you don't want. It fits anyone's unique situation and allows you to get the most for your investment. The company has good customer service with people who really know what they are doing and are polite and appear to mean well. There is little issue when you file a legitimate claim. Overall it's a good company who I am satisfied to do business with.

The value offered by State Farm seems good, at least reasonable and on par with other services. The coverage I receive with my policy is also pretty good. Their representatives and customer service are excellent. My experiences in dealing with them have always been positive. They make you feel like they care, and back it up with their actions. When I had a major claim, they were very helpful in guiding me through the process and I was well compensated. I have used State Farm for over a decade, and have always been satisfied.

I was lucky but I did not need to make the claim. But communication with our agent is ok, he is a little bit pushy, but we can handle him.

I really like State Farm most of the time. But I recently have a really monotonous claims process with a hit and run someone did to my car.

I've gotten free roadside towing, too, and that's a really nice thing that I'm pleased with. State Farm has pretty good agents that seem pretty in the know.

I like my insurance company. The thing is though, I do not ever use my insurance and I wish I could just cancel the insurance. My car is old and I am paying way too much money per month for the insurance. If I was going to get into an accident, it would not even be covered. So, I am basically paying for the dumb Michigan law that makes everyone buy insurance. I must be their favorite customer. I am paying for nothing and it is way too much per month.

State Farm's insurance programs are outstanding, but making a claim isn't really the best situation to land yourself in. They are such a large company that if you get an accident the other person more than likely has State Farm as well. They will basically go after themselves, which isn't profitable to themselves. They will often argue parts of your claim that are clear as day. They are a great company and their insurance is affordable as long as you don't need to use it.

I was hit by a drunken driver while on my way to work one night, State Farm insured. I was sitting at a red light and rear ended hard enough to total my car. The driver then proceeds to try and flee but didn't go far due to damages. Told state troopers she didn't know she hit anything...yet both airbags deployed. Turns out the biggest nightmare of the whole situation is State Farm's totally ineptness and just refusal to settle this incident. 2 years running now and the offer peanuts...less than Medical bills.
They continually "Reassign adjusters" so they can drag stuff out and avoid acceptance of their legal financial responsibilities. They finally got me to accept one of their lowball offers just to try and be done with this whole charade and then...4 weeks later still being ignored. Worst Insurance Company EVER. No compassion, responsibility. I will live with pain the rest of my life...but the biggest pain is the Joke State Farm. Rating is ZERO.

So to be frank State Farm has some pretty decent insurance coverage for homes and otherwise. That said I have to say their auto insurance is a bit lacking.

It is a little high but it is cheaper than most other insurance carriers in my area. I have the roadside assistance which is a lot better than other carriers. I had them when I first started driving and currently have them. If for some reason you break down and need to be towed you can be towed without having to pay up front and get reimbursed later. This works out great especially if you don’t have the money to be towed. You obviously already broke down so you are going to have to pay to get your car fixed so this definitely helps with that expense. Most carriers want you to pay this up front and get reimbursed. State Farm doesn’t do that.

My car was hit by a State Farm insured in April 2017. State Farm paid auto repairs promptly. I wish I could say the same about the medical side of the claim. I was unable to get out of bed - except to go to the doctor and physical therapy for 4 months. I notified State Farm in October 2017 that my claim was complete. I mailed them a log of my pain levels and medications so that they could see the level of my disability. I have called the claims office several time and have been told that the claim was transferred to someone else, they were reviewing it, etc.
My new adjuster is Rachel and I have left her several messages and she has not returned my call. I was told by her that she had not received my pain/med report and I told her that she had and confirmed it to me that she had it. She found it and said that when State Farm received the data, it was not labeled correctly. That was in April 2018 and she told me that they were reviewing the claim.

A few weeks ago I was in an auto accident so I can tell you just how good State Farm is. All I had to do was call the number on my card and roadside assistance was with me within 15 minutes.

The claims was handled with hardly any action or intervention on my end. My car came back to me good as new within just 1 week of leaving the hospital.

I've never had any problems with my State Farm insurance. I've never been in an accident, but have had my car vandalized a couple years ago. I called my local agent and they sent out a claims specialist within a week. The damage was pretty simple to assess. I received an approval for the claim and an amount within another week.

This company misrepresented the initial quote by leaving out the fact that I would need to plug a device in my car to get their discount. I went through the process on the phone innocently and even decided to do renters insurance. The money was taken out of my checking account ASAP. I then found out about the device they were going to send me (but never mentioned) and promptly canceled. I had the chip arrive in my PO box about a week after canceling. I sent it back. Then I began the daily trips to the post office to get MY REFUND. I STILL DON'T HAVE IT 7 days after they say sent.
And they say today, they sent it to my house address and it was returned. They needed my address to send me my money they took out instantly?? SO I am probably getting a check sometime. THEY DO NOT USE TRACKING. THEY DO NOT ANSWER PHONE CALLS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. Lies are never a good base for a sales platform.

I have been with State Farm now for many years. I believe since I started driving back in 2004, so nearly 15 years now! The only reason I do not give them an overall perfect score is because they are a tad bit pricey. I feel my monthly premium is a little expensive compared to other auto insurances out there, but that should go down once my car is paid off. Other than that, I have truly nothing but good things to say about my car insurance. In fact, before I switched to online billing with them and would go into the office monthly to pay my bill, the receptionist and I would strike up great conversation.

I have had a fantastic experience with State Farm. We had a very bad accident a few years ago, which wasn't our fault. State Farm helped us tremendously when we reported our accident, and helped us to be sure we weren't screwed by the other driver's company. They also did a fantastic job with claim we had, when we were at fault. It was a minor bump up as my husband accidentally hit a car in a parking lot. Since the damage was minimal, State Farm didn't increase our rates and we had to maintain no accidents for five years. We did that, and all has been well. They were very accommodating and kind to us during that time.

State Farm is not "like a good neighbor...". It denied my claim for very extensive water damage caused by a shutoff ball valve leak. SF claimed the valve was old, failed because it probably was turned on and off too much, and that it probably was installed incorrectly. All of these assumptions are inaccurate. Also, SF denied the claim because, according to their agents, in the fine print of its policy, it states SF does not cover most plumbing failure damages unless caused by freezing. It would cover, however, damage from a leaking old water heater, which is a case of inconsistent logic. Certainly many houses have plumbing that fails and causes damage, and obviously owners buy insurance to cover such losses. Yet, when expected by trusting, naive clients -- this is not covered by SF.
The agents refused the claim based on an analysis of the valve that SF had done by another company it hired. This was not exactly an independent analysis, since State Farm hired and paid the company. And, not surprisingly, it received a report that benefited SF. The heavy duty brass ball shutoff valve in question was installed in the insulated attic of a house where it was protected from disturbances. The valve probably had never been turned off and on since installation about 10-13 years ago. It was not a particularly old valve; ball valves are very reliable and last a long time. It was installed correctly and did not leak at all.
The leak probably began during the freezing cold winter when the valve froze enough to cause the valve seam to separate. Close examination of the valve reveals an uneven separation of part of the valve seal in the main body of the valve, below the handle system, that was probably caused by freezing water. The resulting very slow, drop by drop leak was not evident until a small portion of the ceiling drywall below the leak finally separated. By then, water had spread into walls. Nonetheless, State Farm did not seem to consider the uneven split valve seal seam at all and conveniently ignored this evidence to deny the claim.
Bottom line, do not buy State Farm house insurance, if you expect to be covered for common plumbing leak damages. There is clearly no point in buying expensive insurance, if the insurer denies claims based on a policy that fine print excludes coverage of issues that consumers reasonably expect are covered. I plan to cancel my State Farm policies in the near future. I only wish I had done more research on the company and seen the numerous, well-deserved, one star reviews. If I had, I never would have given them my money.

I preface this summary by saying, if I could give a negative or zero stars I would. Today I walked to my mailbox, pulled out an envelope from SF. I thought it was my quarterly auto card. Surprise for me, it was a letter telling me they were not renewing my auto policy on one of my vehicles and dropping my spouse from the policy as well. The letter noted two dates of claims in which we had no injury/no damage payout auto accidents. Basically stating since we made two claims over a two year period they deemed us a risk for more claims. A risk? Seriously? And more claims? I thought that was the point of insurance?
I immediately called my agent trying to understand what was going on. Once on the phone I shared the letter, my agent denied any knowledge but said she would call back with info from the “underwriters”. Ten minutes later my agent tells me that she should have been in the know on this so she could have warned me and then proceeds to share that the company is not “dropping us” but rather raising our rate due to the situation. The raise of rate was double what I paid yearly.
I began to inquire why. The agent shared that the “underwriters” reviewed our policy over a two year period and believe we made too many claims and likely will need “more insurance coverage” so they want to charge us more. The agent then goes on to say that because we had the two accidents in a two year period and two other claims (windshield replacement due to weather and an emergency roadside jump from a tow truck) that made us hit a “threshold” which the “underwriters” then decided that they will either make us pay more or drop us. What is going on here?? I thought I paid SF to be on my side... like a good neighbor? I spoke to my agent and requested an appeal. Which she said she would do but couldn’t promise anything.
So basically I took from all this: 1. State Farm is money hungry and will do what it wants to regarding getting that money. 2. State Farm cares nothing for its customer's loyalty (been with SF for 15 years and have four policies: 2 auto, 1 life, 1 home). 3. State Farm has a group of individuals called “underwriters” who make all there decisions Putting their needs before their clients, all for the need of the company/$$$$. 4. State Farm is happy to take your money every month, but when it’s time for them to pay out, they will drag their feet and act like they got no money to spare.
5. State Farm is so large a company that they have an individual underwriter group in other states who makes decisions regarding my policy and then does not communicate with my agent. 6. State Farm plans to collect, calculate and hold against me anything in which they have to pay for, even though I pay for the services they mentioned were the very reason they were “dropping us”. 7. State Farm does not know the meaning of “like a Good Neighbor”. I hope this helps folks. I’m still waiting to hear on the appeal. But don’t worry, I’ve already started to look for a new insurance provider. Hard pass State Farm, hard pass.

I was in a very serious car accident several years ago. It was 100% the other driver's fault. The other car sped up and made an illegal U-Turn from the right lane in front of me, while I was in the left lane. It was during rush hour, so there was no possibility that I could change lanes. Their driver's license and insurance had expired.
My car was totaled. I was taken away on a board with a collar in the rain. I was soaking wet. Over the next year, the other driver sued me. It went all the way to the State Court. Everyone in the other car had the same statement that I was driving very fast with no lights and they couldn’t see me, and I was talking on my cell phone. The State Judge threw it out saying, if they could see me talking on my cell phone, they could see my car.
We took it to a mechanic we knew, because the last time we used their approved company for a little scrape against the garage, we were without a car for weeks. This time, we had to pay extra for car rental because the State Farm adjuster took her sweet time getting to the Body Shop and they only pay for X number of days. Luckily, after she totaled my car, the Body Shop Manager showed her that the car was worth at $1,000 more. Whewww. So, at least my car was fixed.
My injuries is where I was cheated. I thought my insurance company would treat me fairly. Ha! The original adjuster was really good and paid me for expenses and all the medical bills. He said that my claim would be worth between $10,000-$15,000, due to back and knee injuries. Unfortunately, he left to work for another company. I also had a concussion. Although I took medication and went through physical therapy, I was told that it was the best I was going to get.
The next adjusters were horribly rude. I got a letter stating that I needed to get an attorney. This was two years before the statute ran out. I thought $12,500 was reasonable. They came back with $2,500. We went back with $5,000 which was heartbreaking considering what I’ve gone through and will continue to go through. Just to get this stressful long ordeal over with, we settled for $2,180. Absolutely, ridiculous! We’re paying for $100,000 in Uninsured Motorist. Don’t trust them. We’re currently looking for another company.

To be clear, this review is not about my State Farm agent or her staff. I have nothing negative to say about them. This review is specifically for State Farm's roadside assistance program, administered through Agero. I broke down on the highway this past Friday evening. I am not an automotive expert but I was fairly certain that it was my transmission. I called State Farm's Roadside Assistance to request a tow. At the time, I was not aware of State Farm's policy that they will only pay for the vehicle to get towed to the nearest auto repair facility. That stipulation is terribly inconvenient, but it is explicitly stated and it is on me for not being aware of it. Anyway, after being informed of the policy by the Agero phone rep, I took it upon myself to locate the nearest repair garages that specialize in transmission repair. I found 2 about 20 miles from where I broke down. I also located a 24 tow service located about 1 mile from where I was located.
I called roadside assistance back and explain that I want my vehicle towed to "Garage A." I live 120 miles from where the truck broke down and Garage A was in the direction closer to home. I am told that the nearest auto repair facility is determined to be 14 miles from my location so that is what State Farm will pay for. I explain that the nearest garage is not a transmission specialist and that towing there would be terribly inconvenient and inefficient as it would very likely need to get towed again on Monday morning when the facility opens. The response is that they can only approve a tow to the nearest repair facility and that if I wanted it towed elsewhere, I need to pay the difference in mileage. I am only looking at an additional 6 miles so I tell them just to find someone who will tow it to Garage A. The rep tells me that I will get a follow up text when a towing service is located.
Approximately an hour goes by and no call or text so I call back explaining my frustration about being on the side of the highway in the middle of the night for so long with no communication of progress. The Agero rep states that they are trying their best to find a towing company. I suggested that they call the towing service located only 1 mile from me but the rep says that they need to go through their approved list and that they will only call that company if they can't find anyone else. I urged them to try harder.
Shortly after that phone call, I get a return call stating that they found a towing company that would take the truck to Garage A but that I would need to ride with because they won't leave the keys with the truck. At this point, it is about midnight and the friend I was going to visit who lives about 30 minutes from where I am at has driven to my location and has been patiently waiting. The last thing I want to do is ride with the tow truck as that trip will add an extra hour to the ordeal. Plus, based on other online reviews that I read about the Roadside Assistance program as I was waiting, I am not confident that Agero is going to get a towing company to my location in a reasonable time frame. I tell the rep to put my request on hold as I was going to try to take care of it myself.
I then call the tow facility a mile from me. They also suggest that they don't want to leave my keys in the vehicle at Garage A but they will at Garage B because they know it is a secure yard. At this point, I am fine with that. I just want to get off the highway. The tow truck is at my location within 30 minutes and I'm on my way shortly after.
To recap: 1. State Farm's Roadside Assistance policy is worthless if your vehicle becomes inoperable in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar location. You have to either accept that your vehicle will need to get repaired at the nearest garage or you need to figure out an alternative place to bring the car to and pay the difference for the tow. The policy is clearly stated, so shame on me. However, the policy needs to be reevaluated. What happened to me was unfortunate for many reasons but it could have been worse such as if it would have happened to my wife with the kids in the car or if it would have happened even further from home.
There needs to be protocol to allow an inoperable vehicle to be towed to an appropriate facility that may not be the closest and to get people off the road ASAP, which might mean contacting a towing service that might not be on some approved list. Ok... there technically is protocol. You can deal with it yourself and then file a claim with your agent, which is what I ended up doing. However, there is not a guarantee on reimbursement and if you have to go that route, what good is a roadside assistance program?
2. State Farm's third party administrator of the Roadside Assistance is borderline incompetent. If I would have just taken the initiative from the beginning, I would have been off the highway in 30 minutes. Instead I was stranded for 3 hours in the middle of the night as I tried to go through the appropriate measures to avoid an out of pocket expense that qualifies for coverage. That is unacceptable considering this could have happened to someone less equipped to handle the stress of the situation. Again, this isn't a problem with my agent. In fact, I think she is great. However, the roadside assistance policy is a huge negative for State Farm and, after nearly 20 years as a State Farm customer, I am going to look elsewhere.

My Mom is 81 yrs old so I have been trying to handle this situation for her. I got a police report and submitted the claim before 10 AM the next morning because I couldn't get the report until 9 AM. I waited 3 days to find out when I could get the car in for repair. I called to find out they had done NOTHING. The individual I spoke with said we don't even have the police report and none of the 3 other drivers had called in, and I had provided them with all names and numbers of everyone involved at the time of calling it in!
So I sent over a copy of the police report and they said they will have to investigate the claim. I was like, "An officer has done that already. I need my car fixed." After threatening to get an attorney involved they finally said to take it in. Then they tried to get me to take it to a repair shop of their choosing and using reconditioned parts. I am still fighting about using OEM parts and they hung up on me and when I called back I asked for a manager and return call ASAP. That was yesterday and I am still waiting for that call!

I gave them a 1 only because there weren't any negative ratings. Have had all my insurance with SF for many years. Didn't mean anything. They blew me off. We called the agent's office and they told us they couldn't help. Referred us to a call center. So much for being there for us. The agent never called to check on me, I had to call him. NOT one follow-up call, but interestingly enough one of his employees asked us to come in to see if we needed to upgrade our insurance. Why upgrade something if they denigrate and deny claims you on the existing policies? I filed a claim and you would think I was a criminal.
They ask for the same documentation over and over and combine that with the numerous claims rep changes, so it's a merry go round designed to make you give up. They may or may not return your calls, but the end result is the same...YOUR CLAIM IS DENIED. Insurance isn't any good if they cheat you. I would suggest they quit getting their name on stadiums, denying claims and just pay the policyholders claims instead of taking advantage of them. You have been WARNED. Stay away!!

I've had the same experience that others have had with State Farm. My 23 year old son was hit in the back rear tire in a 5 miles hour speed zone. The collision bent the rear axle and the car was totaled. Again, this was in a 5 mile hour speed limit zone. State Farm could care less what the speed limit was. Obviously, the other person was exceeding the speed. The other car, 2015 Toyota Camry was totaled as well. How can two cars be totaled in one accident in a 5 miles hour speed zone. State Farm determined it was my son's fault. They never spoke to him. They never sent anyone out to look at the car. When I called to talk to them about it, they never responded. State Farm just does not care or want to spend the time to determine liability. Now, they have sent us to a risk pool. My family has over 85 years of combined driving experience and 1 accident.

Let me start off by saying I have had insurance with State Farm at least as early as age 18. No late payments lapse or anything of that type. First claim was filed during hurricane Matthew for my vehicle. Which was a complete headache and took 2 months and was denied payment for damages and had to have the dealership fight it out with them about damages only for them to pay 2 months later and 1 month after I had spent 1,000 out of pocket on car rentals because they didn't want to pay. Then on July 12 this year my home was broken into and we basically got cleared out. Police were called. Insurance company was called. A recorded statement from Insurance was taken probably a week after incident only to be asked after the recorded statement if I had any proof of where I was at the time of booking in!
Although I was completely insulted I sent card transactions from that night over. Afterwards I sent all requested documents only to be told to send them again a week later. Given the run around. On week 4 they sent a home inspector to take pictures of where the items were stolen and point of entry which law enforcement already had and is kind of pointless anyway considering it's been a month and we painted cause they never mentioned a home Inspection. Thankfully our door hadn't been replaced yet. When I asked why I was being treated the way I was. They said it's a special investigation cause someone had to be there for a couple hrs to take 5 TV's a safe and a computer. My sister is a police officer and verified exactly as I expected that that was a bold face lie. And 20 mins tops would have allowed the to get away with my stuff.
So I informed State Farm I was going to hire an attorney if they kept trying to drag out my claim. Conveniently enough I got a new claim number that week and a check sent out for part of my claim. Which I made them put a stop on because I had signed up for EFT. Took 2 days for them to straighten that out. Now I've been waiting for 2 more weeks for an estimate on a gold 13 thousand dollar necklace that they don't want to pay for and I'm fed up! If these people haven't paid me by September 12th which is my 2 month mark. I'm hiring an attorney and seeing what I can do about everything down to the harassment and way I was treated. The people seem to be nice. But nice don't replace my 20+ grand worth of stuff of mine and my children's that they have tried their best to get out of paying for. These people are good until you need to file a claim.

We have used State Farm for over 30 years. We filed our first car claim in May 2018 and State Farm denied it having no proof, saying it was our word against the other driver. After the driver backed into my son's car she sat and waited while he got out of the car. She then gave him her D.L which he took a picture of. She then denied to State Farm that she hit him. State Farm refuses to explain why she would wait for my son and then give him her info if she hadn't hit him. They will not give us info on the damage on her car and my son's car to show that it couldn't have come from the accident. After many years paying State Farm we are really disappointed that they have done so little to investigate. We will be moving to a different insurance company. The big shame is that our agent is great. It is useless, however, to have a great agent if he is not backed up by the company.

But we are beyond disgusted with State Farm and are in the process of finding a new company to switch to.

What I am about to say has nothing to do with my State Farm local agent. They did a good job servicing my family’s auto insurance needs. I called into my local agent to request a simple proof of insurance card. She says “hey just a heads up a letter is being mailed to you for non-renewal on your family auto policy” (3 drivers). My son did have an accident that he was found at fault for technically and the insurance went up in a large way of course. But I was told that the 2 other accidents which were not his fault (one was an old lady hit him head on and the other he was rear-ended) were also the reason we were being dropped combined with a claim that I had 5 years earlier when we were with a different company - Allstate in a different state, which I was not at fault for (lady in a very dark heavily tinted Mercedes slammed her door open into my path).
The kicker is I didn’t even put in a claim for the damage on my vehicle yet this is being held against me (I ended up trading the car in but lost money because of the damage). Oh and that State Farm roadside assistance, when my wife got stranded on an major expressway with a flat and my son needed a jump start. Yeah that also went against us and there wasn’t even a tow truck involved. So that State Farm roadside program that you pay for every month. Yes use it and it’s going against your record. Sweet.

We gave her our personal information (names, cars, VIN, etc.) at least 5 times each (and that's being nice). She repeated the same questions so many times we thought this was a genuine prank. The biggest mistake of the call was, she had opened individual policies for the 3 cars we are insuring instead of 1 on my wife's original policy. Which my wife and I caught because the price was so much higher than usual.
At the end of it all when we went to pay she said the system was having problems and we wouldn't be able to pay at this time, (but honestly I think there was more to it which is OK. If you don't want to insure us fine but don't waste 2 1/2 hours of "MY LIFE"). The level of incompetency was so high I can't believe that State Farm would allow an employee so undertrained in her job to assist customers. If we weren't in the boat we are in we would be leaving State Farm immediately. This phone call is the end to a very long string of mishaps that we have endured at the hands of this company.

My daughter was rear ended by a State Farm insured driver. After 2 and a half weeks State Farm finally accepted full liability for the accident. Our car was considered a total loss. My daughter is a working college student and in order not to lose her job she had to rent a car while waiting on State Farm to hear from everyone involved in the accident even though it was a rear end collision and the State Farm admitted fault. When it came time to be reimbursed for the rental State Farm was sent a bill for 656.85 however they sent us a check for only 415.35.
I called to discuss and was told that since my daughter was not on the title they don’t owe her anything and the car rental company charged a young driver fee since my daughter is only 21. State Farm said they also would not pay lost wages unless my daughter had been injured and couldn’t work. So because we decided not to get an attorney and sue State Farm they only paid three quarters of our car rental and paid off my car, nothing extra. So for a wreck that was not my daughter's fault. We now have to eat the additional 200 plus dollars and we have no down payment for another vehicle. They did not care about anything other than paying the minimum. I would never use State Farm for my personal insurance and I hope to never get into an accident with someone insured by State Farm.

One year ago, I received my new premium -due notice on my auto. There was a form letter included stating that due to a recent credit bureau report from Lexus Nexus, my premium increased. I have a higher than average rating - from 815 to 869. (The latter from Citibank where I maintain a credit card) I requested a credit report from Experian or Equifax and saw nothing that really indicated a problem. I determined that is was simply because they discovered I had reached the age where they think we're risky drivers. I have no claims, no tickets, etc.
Then in March, the same letter appeared in my homeowners' insurance premium notice. I called the agent and he can't explain it. He said my car insurance premium decreased. I informed him it was likely due to depreciation. He disagreed. I have no way of knowing whether a quote I received from another company has also received a faulty credit report based upon State Farm's rating of me.

The billing amount is inconsistent and the date my account was debited is inconsistent. So I'm set to pay around $300.00 per month and then I get a bill for over $520.00. I tried calling the agent but they were closed so I left a message for them to call me back to discuss the bill. They never called... But I was offered a lower insurance quote with everything the prior insurance covered and more for LESS, so I went with the new insurance company. Since the State Farm bill was due on June the 28th, I canceled my policy on June 21st. Then on July 1st my account was debited my account for the over $520.00 amount. Now they are telling me that they only owed me $70.00... I now know why I don't use State Farm Insurance.

Yes they were good when there was an accident last year. Yes they seem to have good prices on some of their products if you group your home/life/auto altogether. My concern is that when we purchased a used car to replace one that had been stolen the agent actually told me "it is statistically proven that when people replace a vehicle the incidents of accidents go up." Therefore the insurance is almost twice as much for what they say is the first year? Really? Then the agent tells me in a note that he did not explain that very well. LOL.
What American does not realize that statistics can be twisted to say whatever your company wants them to say? So I paid the bill and less than a week later I get an additional bill relating to the same vehicle with no explanation. It being very early (pre-coffee) in the morning paid the bill. Only to receive yet another bill relating to the same vehicle. This time I sent a note advising I do not pay bills for unknown reasons. Thus I am not convinced that: The agent knows what he/she is doing? OR The agent gave me a lower price (because I complained wholeheartedly about the high price to begin with) and then added the rest in chunks later OR it begs the question... Is it time to change to a more local agent I can visit in person?

Had a flood in my basement due to a malfunction in my sprinkler valve. Within 2 hours the window well filled with water which then flowed into my basement through the window. I called my agent for guidance and they sent a water mitigation company out. Never mentioning that the claim could be denied. I opened the claim the same day, spoke to a claims person the next day who gave me my deductible and stated claim should be covered. Claim adjustor called almost a week after the incident and said this type of claim would be denied but she would come out to take pictures. Came out, took pictures and then denied claim. I asked my agent's office for second opinion or adjustor.
Didn't hear anything until my agent called to say it was still denied. First time my agent had called through the whole process. Denial letter that says flooding due to wear and tear of valve (6 year old home) and was underground water that came through foundation and window, was subterranean seepage. Seems to me everyone had already made up their mind that this would be denied before ever hearing or seeing the facts. If I had known this would be denied, I would have done the cleanup myself. Now I am left with a bill in the thousands of dollars, not to mention the damages. Not sure why we pay for insurance when nothing is covered. The customer service I have experienced was terrible. My advice to anyone insured with State Farm, if you have a flood, stop and take pictures before you try to stop the water. You will have to prove what happened but they do not. Their denial is solely based on their opinion, not facts.

I was satisfied with State Farm until my agent retired and I was bounced around a couple of times to an agent, Tiffany **, in Abbeville, LA. My rate increased quite a bit so I got a more favorable quote from Allstate, where I had my house insurance. I had received a secure message from Ms. ** introducing herself as my agent so I sent a message to her using that same State Farm site. I dated it 3-17-17, informing her I wanted to cancel my policy as of 3-20-17, my next due date. I was paid through that date. I had informed Allstate that was when I wanted the transfer effective, so it would be a seamless transition.
Too much to ask. Ms. ** had my policy cancelled on 03-17-17. I did not find out about it until much later, by that time the State Dept. of Safety and Corrections wanted a fine from me for 3 days lapsed insurance ($125.00). After much argy-bargy and contacting a Mr. Michael ** from their regional headquarters, he assured me he would correct it and electronically contact the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections. I heard nothing after that. Fast forward to 07-27-18. I got another letter from the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections regarding the same matter from March 2017! Ridiculous, yes. But now I had to contact Ms. ** office today and she was no help.
She admits to still seeing the message I sent her on 03-26-17, telling her to look at the message I sent on 03-17-17 again to see that the cancellation date I requested was for 03-20-17 but she can't find the message from 03-17-17 that I have a copy of from their site date and time stamped. She couldn't even answer me as to why would I purposely leave myself lacking insurance for 3 days? It make no sense to anyone to do that. Her only reply was to contact the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections myself because she couldn't do anything about it. I tried finding Michael ** information to re-contact him. Nada.

Having been a happy State Farm customer for many years, with 6 policies through them, I am now experiencing the other side of the company. State Farm is finding me unjustly at fault for getting impacted by a vehicle driven by one of their agents. I asked for a reconsideration of fault, including more information, and was still found at fault. Due to the way the crash happened, and the other driver apologizing for it, he knew he was at fault. I am really surprised that I am being found the at fault party when the other driver hit my rear left wheel and quarter panel. State Farm is telling me that I made an unsafe lane change when their agent admitted turning into my lane. He did not indicate as required by law and did not check to see if it was safe to turn out of a stopped lane of traffic hitting me in the rear as I passed by.
That the fact the driver who hit me is a State Farm agent convinces me that his account of the incident is being given much more weight than mine. State Farm denies any favoritism but having heard what he said in his statement and knowing what I said in mine there is no way an independent investigator would find this way. The scary thing is that State Farm trains and certifies all its own investigators. No standard is met as there would be with an experienced outside authority doing the training and certification. My excellent record of 50 years of driving in multiple countries for hundreds of thousands of miles, and as a former driving and motorcycle riding instructor, obviously hold no weight in this matter. Their agent apologized for the incident and then he somehow turns the story into me hitting him.
Summary: According to State Farm their agent who hit me claimed in his Statement to them that he was 80% in my lane when impact to the rear of my car happened. My statement says I was halfway into the lane (50%) with indicators on for 150 to 200 feet traveling approximately 15mph. How can his car be 80% when mine was 50%? The State Farm agent in the other car did not indicate his intention to turn out of his stopped line of cars for the 100 feet required by California VC 22108*.
State Farm tells me I said I did not see him therefore it is my fault. I did not see him as he only pulled out after I was passing him, at which point he hit the rear left wheel quarter panel of my car with his front wheel and bumper. State Farm did not assign me an individual representative. State Farm certifies their own investigators in house, they do this one time, and that certification is forever with no re-certification required. Who trains the trainers? No independent investigation done.

Stay clear of Michelle DeCarlo State Farm Insurance Agency. I had a policy for several years with this agency, and encountered nothing but problems. Each time a new problem occurred, I encountered incompetence, discourtesy and lack of ability to resolve the issue. When all policies were cancelled and confirmed cancelled, I still received a bill for one of the vehicles and renters policies, which I was abruptly was told; they would handle it. As the policyholder, I wasn’t even listed on my vehicle let alone any of the vehicles.
My son who hadn’t been on my policy for 2.5 years, was the primary driver on all the cars. This is vital in the event there would have been an accident. Coverage could have been denied. Furthermore, the coverage on the vehicles was so messed up, that an accident would of caused major problems due to how the policies were written. Refunds are calculated by the date they put on the policy, not the coverage date listed on the statement, which means all refunds are prorated by whatever date they enter and not to count on seeing a penny back. Consumers, beware!

I got hit by a guy while sitting at a stop sign. State Farm refused to contact the person's insurance who hit me to collect the deductible. I had to make all the calls. I had to pick up the police report and hand deliver it to them. They ended up paying about $600 between repairs and a rental vehicle, I ended up paying about $350 for overages on the rental vehicle. (Shop took a lot longer to fix my car than planned.)
I was told those overages could not be retrieved by the other person's insurance because it's the no-fault law. Now State Farm says they are trying to retrieve the money from the guy's insurance they paid out for my car+rental costs to be repaired. Shouldn't that go back in my pocket? I'm the one who was obeying the law when hit by a guy with a junky old truck and paid from my pocket in addition to the $2400 insurance per year with a clean driving record.

I received my semi-annual statement of auto premium paid from July, 2018 through January, 2019 on which was printed NO PAYMENT DUE, along with the proof of insurance carry cards on early June. Nearly an oversight on my part, I called to remind the agent to adjust my bank debit so only the life policy premiums were debited. First response to me was that my information was not truthful and that I was in error. The agent threatened to lapse the auto coverage if I didn't provide the evidence of my having paid the premiums despite my telling her the premiums were being taken over by my fiancé who lives in Ohio and is consolidating our insurances as we merge our budgets and that I don't have a cancelled check to send as my proof of the coverage.
I sent the agent copies of my premium notice saying NO PAYMENT DUE and the Proof of Coverage carry cards showing the coverage was paid through January 2019. The response from the agent then was to allude to my having altered the documents, and insisting that I prove that my documents were not fraudulent or fraudulently obtained though the very documents were mailed TO ME from the THEIR office! The insinuation was that I had created counterfeit documents rather than considering that the agency may have an employee who has pilfered funds which the agency cannot reconcile and alluding to my lack of integrity. Into the second week of the ongoing dispute, they sent me a bill marked "PAYMENT DUE" with the addition of "DISREGARD ALL PREVIOUS INFORMATION" and demanding that I remit the same amount of the PAID PREMIUM, ($937) or $240 (rounded) by July 1 or my coverage would lapse.
Whatever happened to cultivating "goodwill" as a tenet of customer service and "the customer is always right"? I've never made a claim, been late or given our insurance business to another company in the 10 years I've been covered by State Farm. I cannot believe the agency will not give me the benefit of the doubt instead of demanding that I prove their proof of insurance sent to me is authentic.

Incompetency is (truly) one thing. (A woman said that I could get communications through *both* email and text when only one option was possible, and then failed to save my phone number as a cell even though we went over that.) However, putting a number that relates to a silly promotion about the Bahamas is something entirely different. That's because the number is supposed to be for calling when it is incorrect that one does not have accounts set up to be viewed online. Also, you can't set your account for claims payouts to be electronic. So the default is actually snail mail.
Updated on 08/07/2018: Management's response to complaints ended up in something worse. An individual in management called me about the complaints twice at 12:59 p.m. MST Aug. 6 (and again, twice, just 57 minutes later -- that's rather harassing). A poor associate emailed me about sending my insurance payout via snail mail even though I took the time to set up my profile on StateFarm.com weeks earlier to have the payout be sent electronically to my bank. He said that this guy who called me four times in just 57 minutes had talked with him.
Way to go, State Farm management. You dealt with issues by creating another issue. You may just want to follow the user's preferences that they took the time to set up on your own website. Seems that doing anything otherwise wouldn't be customer satisfaction. Then add on to that that this was State Farm management's way to handle other issues. (And for what it is worth, no, State Farm management -- for me, snail mail will not be faster than electronic transfer. I doubt how often it would be for anyone, but not me also since my agent lives hours away.)

I have not had a ticket or accident in 5 years but now I am paying $50 more per month because 'their rates went up'.
Fast forward to today, I was told that I was still one month behind because the large payment I made to bring my account current did not accomplish that. To add insult to injury, part of that payment was held in 'reserve' so I now owed 2 payments in order to bring my account current. I believe State Farm's incompetence, and their horrible way of doing business just serves to bring them more money, they are not interested in helping to keep your costs down, or keeping you as a customer, because it is mandatory that we, the consumer, must have insurance coverage.

But in the end the company raised my rates and only got back $125.00 and both I and the semi-truck was at fault. My car was sitting in a parking lot. The damage was high and my collision insurance coverage went up to help repay for my repair

I had a 2002 Lincoln Continental. Full coverage. $500 deductible. My payment was $70 a month. That was also with $20,000 renters insurance. I bought a 2001 Chevy Silverado and added it on my policy, I only had liability on it. Of course my payment went up a bit. I got rid of the Lincoln Continental and removed it for my policy. I bumped my coverage up two full coverage on the Silverado. I told my agent to give me matching coverage of what I had on the Lincoln. So please explain to me how my payment went from $70 a month for the Lincoln which was a year newer and was all computerized and electronic up to $138 for the pickup truck that is a year older and has a better safety rating. I have ask my agent several times. I have called in to State Farm and ask them several times. Nobody can give me an answer as to why it skyrocketed to double the premium. I have had no accidents. Nothing has changed. Absolutely ridiculous.

They are there to answer my calls and I have phoned around but they are still the cheapest that is why I have been there for 25 years. I just called in and my agent told me to get it fixed so I did and they paid the bill. No hassle. They don't try to oversell me, and whenever I call they answer all my questions right away.

I like that State Farm has an app for my phone that I can easily access my policy information and pay my bills wherever I am with no problems. It was very easy to purchase my insurance through them. I sat down with my local agent who was very friendly and informative throughout the whole process. The only thing I don't like is that they charge a small fee to do monthly payments when I can't pay my premium in one lump sum.

I am currently with State Farm and have had them as long as I have had insurance. It is very easy to get quotes and make changes. I like that my policies are available online and my agent is easy to get ahold of. I like and trust my agent who is with State Farm. I have a great relationship with him and staff members. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Always get quick responses from the office. I feel I am very loyal to State Farm and my agent. But prices have increased more than I had hoped. I know I can save money by switching to the agent I work for, but I don't want to leave my agent at State Farm.
