Claims Satisfaction & Customer Experience - 4.5 / 5

State Farm holds a Trustpilot score of 7.5 (Great) based on 67% positive customer reviews, with clients praising their quick, professional service.

Yes ! They are horrible on paying claims . On a 2021 vehicle they want the body man to rig it up and put used parts on to save them money . Also they try to make you use a body shop in their network.

I have been a happy State Farm customer since 2001 (18 yrs). While rates fluctuate, we've never strayed. I have shopped on more than one occasion, but never made a switch. My agent and staff know me and are always responsive and helpful. I was a bit frustrated a few years back when my daughter was in a very minor accident and State Farm just paid the claim to a fraud without any questions. Our rates went up just a bit, but that was to be expected. Overall, I am very happy and have no plans to change!

This is a awful company. Claimed my accident on collision and not uninsured motorist. Been trying to fix it for yrs. They said it was a mistake and sent me $300 for the difference between collision and uninsured motorist. Plus $147 for the same difference for the rental car. Sent me a letter saying that I was not the party primarily at fault. I was not at fault in any way but will not send me a letter that states that.

I dont understand how they came to this overall star rating for statefarm but we had a tree fall on our brand new trailer in a big storm we had on nov 5 come to find out statefarm doesnt have adjusters to handle a speciality vehicle like our 14×7 pull behind trailer they rely on a 3rd party company for this they also left it up to us to find a place that would look at our totalled trailer to tell the third party people that its totaled after many phone calls to the claims team what a joke im told a different story every phone call but the bottom line is they dont have what they need this whole process has been very frustraiting and it really does not need to be this way we thought we were...
