Strength:
Willingness to cover good drivers.
Weakness:
None. Excellent service, especially when switching states. Took us when none of the other insurers (AllState, GEICO, Prudential, etc) would not or only at ridiculous rates. When we moved from NY to PA, GEICO tried to raise our rates by $3000!!! When we moved to NJ, AllState and Prudential didn''t want our business, because our driving records were too clean. Seems they can charge a higher premium for the drivers with bad records! State Farm didn''t mind getting less money from us. Similar Products Used: GEICO. Tried to get AllState and Prudential, but they don''t want good drivers. |

Strength:
They act really friendly, but they are just out for your money.
Weakness:
They are totally dishonest. State Farm is a dishonest company. Their waited until I relocated, when he wouldn''t be able to get any more money from me, then added insurance coverage and billed me for it just before the expiration of the policy. When I refused to pay for the additional insurance they cancelled the policy even though I had already paid for it. Appeals to their management were fruitless. They are all deceitful crooks.

Strength:
Somewhat friendly staff...except when you need to make a claim.
Weakness:
Will do EVERYTHING they can NOT to pay your claim, and if they do, your rates will skyrocket from their already inflated prices I have been with State Farm for many years and put up with their higher than average rates because I am a friend of a State Farm agent. But recently, a minor accident occurred in which both parties were under State Farm Insurance. State Farm has been impossible to deal with (for both of us), continuing to stall claim payments, and doing everything in their power to get out of paying. There were even some of their sleazy lawyers trying to have us sign papers that would reduce the amount of our claim and trying to get us to use substandard parts. They are probably paying these ambulance chasers more than our claim would have been. AVOID STATE FARM AT ALL COSTS!!!! |

Strength:
It's cheap! I actually got more bang for the buck than from Geico and it's about $30 cheaper/month.
Weakness:
None so far...I haven't dealt with problems yet with customer service, settling claims, getting money for problems, etc. since I haven't had any accidents yet with the company. State Farm was the cheapest car insurance I found so far...I also got life insurance included with my car insurance policy and it was only a few bucks more per month. The cost was far below other policies I looked up. Considering I've never had an accident or anything, I didn't understand why my previous insurance was so high...definetely a good deal so far! Similar Products Used: Geico - way too expensive considering I've never had an accident and I'm over 25 years old |

Strength:
As long as you don't get into a accident, everything if fine.
Weakness:
Rates increase dramatically when involved in minor fender bender. Agents are rude when you start asking questions! My parents, who are also with State Farm, recently damaged their side mirror by hitting it on the garage while backing out. Well, in 25 years of being with this co. they have an excellent driving record, they only have one ticket and this minor incident of hitting the mirror (just happened). State Farm took their insurace premium up from $414.00 every 6 months, to $691.00 every 6 months, this is for just ONE CAR!! Well, we called State Farm and told them it was time to send them packing. They way we see it, the good driving credits are merely a pat on the head for driving so well in all these years, but they mean absolutely NOTHING when you get in a minor fender bender, DON'T BE FOOLED! They are now going with Geico, same coverage and a total of $367.00 for 6 months, and that's for both vehicles combined! We will be switching soon too! Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
friendly service, and you can pay monthly.
Weakness:
sometimes the agent can be snotty, but i guess everyone has some bad days. i would recommend this company. in my experience the rates are the lowest in my area, the service is prompt, rates never go up, (unless you get a dwi i was told), and you also get a multi-car, or multi-policy discount. my windshield got cracked from another car kicking a rock up at it, and i had no problems whatsoever about getting it replaced. it was quick, and they even called the glass shops for me. no hassle at all. Similar Products Used: none. i never used another company. |
