I have had three claim from 1980-2020 first had to do repair on my own them had to hire lawyer to get them to pay. Second claim hired a structural engineer to make them pay. Third car damaged when parked at grocery store claims were not helpful in helping the made me pay high deductable even the body shop commented it was too high in price of deductable said it was an accident. Would not classify as uninsured motorist as it would be half the amount of my deductable. State farm has low rates but if you have a claim they want to pay the least possible to the client. It's there business plan. Don't be lured in by low rates. You will have to fight them to pay your claim.
I have an auto loan with State Farm, and would never recommend this company to anyone. I will be telling everyone I know that State Farm is the worst company. Their employees are extremely rude, will talk over you and raise their voice at you. They avoid my calls for days at a time (telling me they will call me before the day ends but they never do). Keith Hartsgrove in Lakeland FL was suppose to call me in regards to reinstating my loan by the end of the day. Each day I called and his assistant would promise me he would be in touch by the end of the day. He never called and was always too busy to talk to me. When I finally got a hold of him 5 phone calls later and 4 days later I had to ask him why it was so hard to get him to communicate with me because he acted as if nothing happened. I have worked customer service for years and I can say this is THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever experienced in my life. Nobody is trained properly. I was told my loan was reinstated all i had to do was pay almost $700 which is every penny I had during this pandemic. So I gave them every penny I had to get my loan reinstated. The lady told me it was reinstated and where to make my monthly payments. I made my next monthly payment on time and then i got a call from a collection agency that they sold off my account... what the hell. Nobody ever told me that would happen. I will be leaving bad reviews everywhere I can and spreading the news to everyone I know.
I have a friend, he s a minimalist I guess you could say. The only thing in the world he owned was a work truck. It was stolen. He reported it to the police who told him to report it to his insurance. The moment he reported it stolen to sstate farm he was treated like a lieing criminal, even though he had been paying them for years without one single accident or traffic violation. He has no criminal record in 47 years of his life. Instead of trying to help him they are trying to harm him, plain and symple. Beware of this company, they are corporate sharks trying to feed off you.
I have never experienced such professional and totally comprehensive service from any insurance agency ever! In particular I am so happy to have Grace R Estupinan as my agent - she is quite perfect in every way and always helps me, no matter how small the matter is - I can't recommend the Bill Hagen Agency enough to all AAAAA+++++
A State Farm insured individual rear-ended my wife in our truck at full speed. Totaled our vehicle, and no doubt their fault (admitted by State Farm). This began an absolutely awful experience of us just trying to break even financially. Didn't happen. There was no way we could replace the vehicle for what they paid out, and their treatment of us was unforgivable. One customer service agent said we were indeed being short-changed and he could get us more money. He did! Less than 1% more. Insult to injury. The worst thing? Less than 8 hours after this violent accident my wife gets an email asking for her to sign a release from any liability in exchange for an insultingly low sum. "Get'em before the adrenaline wears off" must be their mantra. Absolutely the most awful, soulless POS company we've ever dealt with, and I was not shy about telling them so. Should have gone to court but just wanted STATE FARM OUT OF OUR LIVES.
A state farm insured driver pulled out on front of me at a three way stop. The police said it was his fault. A driver was behind me and gave a statement that said I accelerated the gas so I would hit him. I did not. So because some guy says it's true, it must me. They denied my claim. It was their drivers fault. Don't deal with these people. They are horrible. My car is totalled because of their irresponsible driver.
Don't ever get hit by one of there lousy drivers, THEY will find a way to get out of paying the claim, ONE WORST. PEOPLE dont get sucked into there stupid advertisements
In an accident 5 weeks ago. Other driver was at fault he turned left in front of me at intersection, I hit him in front right fender, door and truck bed... why all that, he didn't stop. Car behind me was city Police and went after him. He is insured by State Farm. Took 5 days to have my car towed from Wrecker yard to body shop(by State Farm). Another week for State Farm to contact body shop. State Farm wants body shop to take pictures and send them in and... that was 3 weeks ago NOTHING from State Farm. I call them and am told I am in the cue to have someone look at the car. Was told it takes 3-5 days... 21 days ago!
I waited from 7:30pm to approximately 3:30am for a tow. This is the second time this occurred. I am in the process of cancelling my insurance. During these difficult times we must continue to hold people accountable for their actions as well as the representative of their company. I will not continue to pay for a service at a company where I don't feel respected.
The new Jake commercial is very offensive. He accepts pizza, wings, cookies and makes no effort to pay for the free merchandise. Code of Conduct violation. Terminate him!
You'd think once you've entered the "key code" to identify the invoice you'd like to pay, their system could direct you to a "business name" log in. But no! I had to use the pay by phone method instead, and pay by credit card (only option.) You'd think they would rather avoid those Visa fees, but no, apparently not.
I called to review my bill and was promised a return call that never happened. I called approximately 10 days later and spoke with Ms. Julie Wilson. She not only apologized for the dropped ball by another associate, she took time to review, explain and assist. I felt valued and appreciated. It made the difference of me taking my business elsewhere. Thank you, Ms. Wilson. I truly appreciate that customer service is still a thing in business.
30 plus years with State farm and they can not match or beat competitive prices with the SAME exact coverage, what happen to loyalty, disgraceful,
I support Geico! And will promote them.
What a joke! State Farm sneakily raised my bill this month by an extra $27.58!
I find it very convenient they tack on some senseless charge right before the SF Covid refunds/credits are supposed to be issued in June.
And yes, I already contacted my agent and waiting for their reply.
They are a greedy company.
Do NOT go to State Farm for auto insurance. They're lying scammers. A 93 year-old woman recently drove 4 feet too far to the right, into the bike lane, and hit my car with my door half-open, and they said I was almost completely liable. I spent hours measuring the street and showing that the accident would not have been possible without her driving at least 3-4 feet too far to the right, they said this didn't change their decision because the measurements "were taken after the accident." Can't wait to make them pay in court. Total scumbags.
My renters have been displaced tw[ceFrom the Toronado on Feb. 6,2020. The renter's mother has collapsed with heart problems from displacement. Her son and I are very worried.
We are in the middle of a pandemic and state farm still wants to charge individuals who are not even driving not even leaving their homes but yet they're billing their accounts right on schedule. Their commercial is a lie they should be sued for false advertisement!
We called for an emergency road service around 11:30am yesterday through a landline in Alliance Gasoline Station (5720 Cabrillo Hwy, Pescadero, CA) to tow my 2016 Ford Escape off the Gazos Creek Road(Pave road) that was stuck in the middle of the road about 4 miles away from the gas station. The first agent said that they're gonna send one and will be there 45 mins. We waited for an hour, the tow truck called and said that he's currently in Half Moon Bay and will arrived for 30 mins. So we waited for 30 mins but no one came. We called statefarm again and it turned out it was cancelled without us knowing. The agent said that her hands are tied and can't get us help. We didn't have cell reception or data, and told us to just figure it out ourselves, leaving us stranded. So we asked for the supervisor since the agent was incompetent, we went through the same process over and over telling them that same information. The supervisor, Trish ID#******* said that she's sending us a tow truck and will be there for 90mins. This was already around 5pm and the gasoline station will close around 6pm, leaving us with o means to communicate after the said time. We waited for over 2 hours but no one came.
Had State Farm For around 40 I believe it was my first claim I turned in I was treated terrible. I turned them into the Attorney Generals office etc. That just made them mad. I had to Go on high blood pressure meds. What I have read about them Delay deny and defend its true. I really was happy with State Farm till I put in a claim.
Pam is amazing, she is very nice, personable, & thoughtful.
I have been with State Farm for years, they are all very nice and customer friendly. 'I'm happy to continue having them as my insurance carrier for years to come.

Answer: Scam. They are terrible. Will take money from you and not explain why My grandpa has been with State Farm insurance since the 1960's. We have had great service up until the last 6 years. Everyone has always told me they were shit and told me all bad things about them but I always stood up for them. Well I'm here to say that was a slap in the face. We have filed a total of 8 claims this whole 60 years he's been with them. 3 for car wrecks, 1 being our fault, 1 being both parties fault, and the other one being the other parties fault but they did not have insurance so State Farm had to cover it. Another claim was when my car got stolen. There's was $1500 of damage done to it when it was stolen. THEY SPENT $15,000 FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BRINGING IN STATE FARM LAWYERS AND INVESTIGATORS TO TRY TO PROVE MY DAUGHTERS DAD AND I WERE LYING ABOUT IT GETTING STOLEN. MIND YOU IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONLY $1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TREATED US LIKE CRIMINALS AND RACIALLY PROFILED MY DAUGHTERS DAD, EVEN TRIED TO GET US PUT IN JAIL FOR FRAUD. BUT GUESS WHAT THEY COULDN'T BECAUSE WE DID NOT LIE, IT WAS NOT FRAUD, MY CAR REALLY GOT STOLLEN. They are ignorant and even belittled me so much it made me cry. WHICH INFURIATED my grandpa and he confronted our representative about it and he said "there's nothing I can do that's what they do to people" They have lied to us multiple times. They cancelled my road side assistance because I had 2 incidences "too close together" We pay by the 6 months. I pay for my cars I own and my grandpa pays for the other cars because we are on a family plan. Well last time it was due it was $800 each for my cars. It's usually $600 each. I thought it was a one time thing and I paid it. But then I got another bill for $800 for the 6 months for each car. So I asked my insurance representative why it went up $200. He said he didn't know and he couldn't figure out why. There was also nothing he could do about it. They also called us and told us we were late on an insurance payment (again we pay by the 6 months) but they called 5 months into this last payment (that was most definitely paid I have plenty of proof) and said we were late on that payment. Why would you just now be contacting us if we were 5 months late on a payment and we still have coverage. So she went back through her system and called us said that she was "wrong" that it popped up it is due next month and she thought that meant we missed a payment. Is she dumb or what? Then proceeded to tell us we were 2 car payments past due. Which isn't true. And how would she know if it had been true. We never have been late on a payment. We are actually 2 months ahead on every car payment we have. So I called the bank that gave us the loan for this car and they said they have not communicated with State Farm at all. That that would be illegal to do without our consent. That when someone calls about an account, they have to verify they are that person, and then everything that is discussed and done is written in the notes of that phone call and put with that account so they can go back and look for future reference and such. I know someone that recently stopped working for them and she said I quote "I will not work for a company that is dishonest, deceives, doesn't care about their clients, tries to screw them over, does NOT act in way insurance companies should or any company should, and treats people like criminals. We are here to help not to screw people over. But State Farm does just that. Their clients pay extremely high prices but cant use their insurance half the time because State Farm is trash and wants to fight every claim that's filed. I have morals and values and working for them makes me look bad. I can't believe the things they are doing to people and the way they are treating people. I WILL not work for a company that is more than greedy, takes advantage of people and manipulates people. I'm thinking about calling the Better Business Bureau and I encourage you all to as well!" I know for a fact (from another person I know that currently works there and is getting ready to quit because of that horrible things State Farm does) that they will do absolutely anything and add fake charges to people's bills just to get extra money. So with that being said STATE FARM THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU FOR SCREWING ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS OVER (especially ones like my family that have been with you for 60 plus years) AND NOT DOING RIGHT BY US. SCREW YOU. I HOPE THE WHOLE COMPANY GOES OUT OF BUSINESS AND IT REALLY SHOWS WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE YALL ARE. **Remember when you said you would drop me if I filed a very very small claim WELL HERES ME DROPPING YOU HORRIBLE PEOPLE.
Answer: Discount my ass I was in an accident and was not at fault and my insurance went up $60 a month.
