State Farm Auto Insurance Reviews

We have been customers of State Farm for 20+ years and never had a claim.....Nothing.....until recently......I was parked on the street in designated parking.....out of my car.....in a nearby office.....when a lady backed into my car. I didn't witness it but another person did and watched the lady pull in front of my car.....exit her car and walk over to bend down and have a good look at the damage she caused.....look around to see if anyone saw her....walked back to her car and proceed to leave the scene of the accident. Fortunately, I was alerted to this and ran out of the office builds ding.....down the street and stopped the lady. She pulls over and puts her car in park and puts down the window and says...."I backed into your car!" So I told her to come back with me I to the office where I could get her information and because of her insistence to not call the police.....I did.....The officer came out.....took our statements.....and informed me that she didn't have a valid drivers' license and she admitted she backed into my car but she wasn't leaving....she was going to park....Sure she was a block down the road!!!!! My car is new......hers was 12 yr old pile of junk.....I called State Farm when I got home and my agent said that since they have sold to Dejardins that I have to call a claim centre.....the lady who I initially took my call told me that since I wasn't in the car I didn't have to play the deductible......ok.....but I would need at least 45 minutes for her to file the claim.....unfortunately, we had plans for that night so,she said she would start the claim and I should call back the next day.....so I did....and that's when the Royal runaround started.....I was put over to two different claims agents.....finally sent back to the first agent after 20 minutes of wasted time....them the interview (interrogation)......I honestly was made feel like the guilty party instead of the victim of a hit and run!!!! Example of questions asked......*where you in the car? no I told you I wasn't.....*Ok....where were you.....I asked "How is this even relevant to this claim?" Agent....We need to know where you were..".Where you in a store or restaurant"......why would that even be important? Who called the police? Why? What's the lady's phone number who hit you? How many people where in her car? I asked why this was important and she said in case they had injuries and tried to sue me!!!!!! What was she charged with? How would I know that?????? I told her the OPP officer gave me his name, badge number, accident report number and email address and she says we don't use that because it takes 4-6 weeks to get the report and sometimes the OPP won't release them!!! Did I have any rust on any part of my NEW car? Because if I did they won't pay to fix the rust.....so finally after so many stupid questions I askd her if Desjardines feel that every insurance claim are the same and she said yes.....so whether you're at fault or not State Farm/Desjardines treats everyone the same.....clean 20 year record or not!!!! All accident claim reports are exactly the same......45+ Minutes long......the last blow was when I asked her if we had a rental car on our policy and she said......why can't you drive your car.....and I said....the drivers door is completely smashed in and the glass shattered.....the door does t fit properly....and it wouldn't be too good taking it anywhere w/o glass or a door that's hanging by the hinge......so she says yes you have rental coverage.....Hallelujah!!!! Lucky me.....bottom line is don't but your insurance from State Farm.....their once personal attention has been sold to the highest bidder and Desjardins are only interested in the dollars....

I called to get a car quote. First, a man answered, he sounded nice. He said that he will transfer me to some lady. That lady had a bit of attitude but she was alright. She asked a few questions and then said, I will call you back shortly with some details. It has been 2 weeks now, no call. 0/5 stars.

My son who is 17 received his g2 license on July 22nd, 2019. He called State Farm, from Cornwall ON, for car insurance, he received a quote beforehand. He was told that it may take up to 14 days to get car insurance! Why so long? We figured we will wait a few days. Went away for one week, came back, still no word from State Farm. At this point, he was getting impatient. He had to update his Seller's package, it was updated 3 mo before, but needed a recent one. The only change for that was the date, all info was the same. Had to spend 40$ to get that done. Both times. Had to submit pictures of the car inside and out. Which was ridiculous. By week 3, received an email from them explaining that because he is a new driver, they need to check everything out. He finally called another insurance company and was insured within 15 min, did not need any pictures, or hassles, This company needs some major work on customer service. From what I read, I am not the only one. How are they still open? Not to mention have customers. Unbelievable

I had a car accident, (not at fault) on near end of April 2019. I called for a claim which took about 30mins, filling up all the information. My car had 4 panels and some parts inside the engine bay to repair. I had a talk with claim advisor saying that I was 100% not at fault because I had a dashcam which saved me a lot of trouble. Also, I was informed that my insurance rate should not go up after this. Some of the coworkers were friendly but somewhat confusing... My personal claim advisor who was named on my file wasn't available because he was on vacation. So, I asked if another one could work with me through this file and they literally said: "you have to ask this person that's in charge of your file". Sadly, they took literally almost 2 months to process on the insurance stuff such as "photos for confirmation", and additional photos before confirming the estimate... I had to chase them down every week and my patience ran so thin. After almost a month and a half of chasing them, the autobody shop decided to preorder the parts without insurance company giving them go-go because they were simply taking forever. It literally took less than a week for bodyshop to repair and after the car was fully repaired, the insurance gave bodyshop "good to go". I got my car back on June 21th 2019. But the nightmare doesn't end there. A month later, I looked over the policy papers from the insurance. To my surprise, the rate did go up by $100. (Monthly rate). I simply don't understand anymore about this insurance company. This insurance company is literally a massive money grab. They will literally "take your $$" by wasting your time 1-2 months before you get your car back. And then raise your rate up afterwards.

The company wants you to die before they pay an injury claim. Get a lawyer...They only want your money.

Please do yourself a favor and stay away from State Farm Auto Insurance at all costs. And, every day pray to God that someone who is covered by State Farm does not hit you! State Farm pulls out all types of magics and tricks to avoid paying when their clients are liable. Their adjusters vanish, they make up stories, they even let their clients get sued and lose in court.

You need to call million times in order to cancel the insurance, plus the rate is pretty high, customer service is so bad, I will tell everyone I know to stay away from this insurance company

I filed a claim a month ago after getting in an accident. I only had my new car for 15 days and have full coverage on my policy. Apparently, that doesn’t include a rental car and I still have not heard back from my claim advisor on what I’m getting for the car or if it’s even a write-off or not. I made an in-person statement 2 weeks ago and my advisor has been out of the office all week. I’ve lost a job because I have no way to get there as busses don’t go out that way. I’m 20 years old. I don’t make anywhere near 30,000 a year, so I’m frustrated I’m paying to get to and from places. Still paying my insurance with no car in the driveway and am struggling to find another job with next to no money. Awful customer service.

DON'T GO WITH THIS COMPANY AT AL. I got into my first accident, was not at fault whatsoever. I sent in photos, filed a police report. Just because I didn't have a witness, they even refused to hear out my story. This woman on the phone, Michelle, told me that even if I went before a judge, the accident would still be 50/50. This woman never once tried to find out more info or get the full story, I even filed a police report. All this place does is take money from you. I have a scratched bumper and the car that hit into me has money damage, so of course, I'm paying for it
