About State Farm
State Farm has insured cars in the US since 1922 and is a mutual company, meaning it is owned by its policyholders rather than shareholders. Its defining feature is a network of more than 19,000 local agents, so most customers have a named agent's office to call or visit, though you can also get quotes and manage policies online. It sells car, home, renters, condo, life and other insurance, and offers bank and investment products too. The State Farm app lets you manage policies, get roadside help, file claims and view banking accounts, and it includes Drive Safe & Save, a usage-based program that can lower premiums for careful drivers. Steer Clear is aimed at drivers under 25. Prices depend on state, vehicle, driving record and discounts, so you need a quote to compare. It suits people who want a local relationship and many products under one roof. It operates in the US only.
Best for: US households who want a local agent and car, home and life cover from one company.
