State Farm Car Insurance review
I had SF car insurance for over 50 years, with only about 4 claims in all that time. I also have had my Homeowners policy with them (combined, off and on) for about 15 years. You would think they would offer better loyal customer, senior, or military discounts than they do. With the gigantic increases this year (Homeowners went up over $600 py) for the first time, I am seriously considering going to a cut rate company so we can afford at least some coverage. Very disappointed in SF after being a loyal customer for so long!

Been insured with State Farm for over 27 years on homes and autos. I moved from Indiana to Florida almost 3 yrs ago...my rates have increased 5-10% every 6 months since moving to Florida, whereas I barely had even a $3 increase each YEAR, if any at all on the same vehicle, while living in Indiana. I believe agents, and their greediness, have A LOT to do with any insurance experience. I used the roadside assistance coverage for the first time in those 27 yrs and the experience was painless...I’ll never change another tire myself again, as the cost of coverage is pennies!

We have had State Farm bundling everything since we were married 50 years ago. I think this insurance is as good as your agent. A good agent is an advocate for the client. I have never seen my current agent but she had a very competent & customer savvy front person. Since that person left after about 10 years, I am very disappointed. Nobody reviews my insurance or finds the discounts for us. I have to initiate and even when they are applied the rates still increase. I am thinking of looking at Shelter Insurance where the girl who was so customer friendly went. How often are the agents claiming credit that their staff deserves?

This has been a nightmare for me. A month has gone by, they just started a claim against the uninsured driver who hit MY parked car, and they say I don't have basic insurance coverage ? I'm making double car payments now, when this uninsured driver totalled my car !!
