ADT Home Security Partnership
Community and Disaster Support

High Financial Strength Ratings

Farmers Insurance has earned high financial strength ratings from A.M. Best. These ratings indicate how likely an insurance company is to be able to meet claims obligations.

High ratings indicate a high likelihood of being able to make claims payments.

Before you purchase insurance coverage, you need to make sure that the insurance provider has earned high ratings. Farmers Insurance's high ratings make its coverage options worth considering.

3 Customizable Packages

Farmers Smart Plan Home® policies come in three types: Standard, Enhanced, and Premier. General information about each coverage option is limited.

Standard coverage focuses on covering the essentials at an affordable price. The Enhanced package offers higher policy limits. The Premier package offers the highest limits.

While you may be able to find similar coverage levels at other companies, Farmers's organization of its policies makes it easier to understand what kind of coverage you're starting with before you customize your insurance policy.

Nice Policy Perks

Farmers's home insurance policies include some nice perks. The two that stand out the most are claim forgiveness and cosmetic damage coverage. If you haven't made a claim for five consecutive years, your premium won't increase the first time you make a claim.

If you file a claim for functional damage that also caused cosmetic damage, Farmers will cover costs to repair the cosmetic damage as well.

Farmers also offers Declining Deductibles®, $50 off of your deductible each year you keep your policy, and a Claims Free Discount® if you haven't filed a claim for three consecutive years.

These home insurance product features help you save money and protect your house.

Many Opportunities to Save

Farmers offers many discounts on its home insurance policies. You can receive discounts for having a smoke-free home, certain home security systems or features, buying multiple policies from Farmers, and discounts based on your career (teacher, police officer, firefighter, military, doctor, nurse, engineer, etc.).

These discounts can make meeting your insurance needs more affordable.

ADT Home Security Partnership

Farmers and ADT home security have a partnership. If you purchase ADT Command or LifeShield through Farmers, you can benefit from discounted rates while you secure your home.

This partnership and discount opportunity is another way Farmers distinguishes itself from others in the home insurance industry.

Community and Disaster Support

Farmers is committed to helping its clients and their communities recover from disasters. In major disasters, it dispatches a Catastrophe Response Team in a Mobile Claims Center bus to process claims quickly for clients in the area. This level of service makes Farmers a great choice.

Farmers also has partnerships with several nonprofits that help with recovery including Operation BBQ Relief and National First Responders Fund. This dedication to helping communities and clients through recovery is a great benefit of working with Farmers.

The Bad

Limited Customer Insight
Premier Package Not Available in California

Limited Customer Insight

Farmers has a small number of customer reviews on BestCompany.com.

Even though there are a limited number of reviews, most of the reviews are positive.

Although not conclusive, this high proportion of positive reviews is a good sign because it indicates that Farmers offers quality home insurance and takes care of its clients.

Premier Package Not Available in California

The Premier package, which has the highest limits and coverage on personal property, is not available to California residents.

If you're in California and want this level of coverage, you'll need to look for another insurance company.

The Bottom Line

While minimal customer insight is available for Farmers Insurance, the insight available shows that Farmers offers good coverage and service to its clients. You'll also benefit from working with an insurer that partners with organizations assisting communities with disaster recovery.

Customers will appreciate policy features and discounts that help them save on claims and monthly premiums. If you want to secure your home further, you can save on two different ADT home security packages because of Farmers's partnership with ADT. Farmers is a recommended insurance provider.

Jeremy Balls Kaysville, UT

We had a storm that produced golf ball size hail. I called farmers because I was worried about my roof being damaged. The claims adjuster came and walked my entire house and property. By the time it was all done, he found damage I did not even know existed until he pointed it out. Everyone we have dealt with has been friendly and helpful. They are not the cheapest insurance, but they sure covered us when we needed it.

Farmers helped when we had a hail storm. We reached out and they sent out someone to look at our roof. We were able to partner with a roofer they work with and the new roof went on fast and with nothing out of pocket for us.

No other home insurance company has been able to beat Farmers rates for my family! Our agent is wonderful, the company seems to have the customers' best interest at heart. They offer so many different insurance products and have many discounts available! If you're not with Farmers now, it is definitely worth reaching out to an agent near you to get a quote and see how much you can save!

Farmers is by far the best coverage you could have from our vehicle to business insurance to home. I always recommend it to everyone and have nothing but good things to say. What makes it even greater is their customer service. They always offer great assistance and answer any questions I may have. Anytime anyone mentions insurance I inform them of how great farmers is.

Farmers (my current company) is a very well known insurance company. A little impersonal at times. The only thing that has kept me with them over the years is my local agent, always returns my calls and is always helpful. He does what he can to make me feel like the only customer he has. That goes a long way with me. I have since moved out of the area (but same state) and I still use the same agent.

We have been with Farmers for our insurance needs for a very long time now (20+ years). We have never had any issues with our insurance and have always enjoyed our coverage and service through our time with them. Recently, we had to move from another office as we moved and our new agent, Hector, is absolutely amazing to work with. He has always given us great deals and bundles and helped us when we had questions with our insurance coverage and when we were recently in an accident. I cannot recommend Farmers enough!

I got an amazing quote with Farmers for my home insurance policy. I believe it is based off of your credit score and how long you have had credit. So that being said I would mainly recommend them if you pay your credit cards on-time and have good credit. The deductible is high as with most home insurance policies so know that will come when you need to actually use their service. The customer service is amazing and they get ahold of you repeatedly to make sure you are well taken care of. I love using this company for my home insurance and I would highly recommend them to any home owner.

I fell into having Farmers insurance when it acquired MetLife several years ago and with hefty annual premium upticks from both companies finally decided to shop around. Doing so uncovered several options from local companies - some who also offered Farmers' products - that were substantially lower. I'm talking 30% lower. So I switched, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. For some reason the Farmers customer support team member(s) I spoke with found it impossible to cancel all my policies (for several autos, several rental homes, my personal home, and an umbrella) but each time said that they did so. I start getting statements demainding payment triggering calls to Farmers again, with assurances things were fine. Then arrived letters threatening damage to my credit rating if I refused to pay. So another support call and another promise that things were actually fine. This went on for months. Even though I was told I didn't owe it, I eventually just paid the demand letters the few dollars to get them off my back. Like a sour dish rag, every interaction with farmers left a bad taste in my mouth.

I do not have any good thins to say about this company. I had a claim and the person I spoke to at Farmers to initiate the claim only allowed me to pick this particular auto body shop Gerber and would not give me a name of anyone else to choose from. Gerber did a poor job and I had to take my car to another body shop after paying $1000 deductible, and paying out of pocket to fix the mess that they had left undone. Now Farmers is charging me $ 1000 for the rental car that I had rented from Enterprise during this month long ordeal, because someone had hit the rental car after I turned it into Enterprise, but was never checked back in and some how I am responsible, wow. Not happy at all

We use Farmers insurance for both our home. and auto insurance.

Our insurance agent is very good about returning our calls and making sure we are satisfied with the company. When we have had claims he. has made sure that is an efficient process so that we can get our money quickly and easily. Very satisfied with their performance.

P. Pollock Laguna Niguel, CA

A few years ago I would have given this company 5 stars across the board. Today? Not a snowball's chance in *ell. Two and a half years ago a pipe broke in the kitchen and flooded my wood floors. I cleaned up the water and then weeks later noticed that the wood floors were warping . Farmers came to the resuce and paid for the remediation and repairs whichamounted to over $50K in damages. Two years later( now 2021) while we were sleeping, a pipe developed a water spraying burst in between the 2 bathroom walls. It must have run all night because the following morning we awoke to a literal lake in our house, more damage than 2 years prior as the water had apparently sprayed all night flooding every room in the house except the living room and laundry room. Water DAMAGE EVEN EXTENDED INTO THE FINISHED GARAGE WALLS. Because I was refinaning at the time and barely meeting the income to debt ratio, I did not want to immediately turn in a claim to Farmers fearing my rates would increase and this would prohibit my refi from being approved. Over 400 photos were taken documenting the water damage , the remediation and the repairs in progress and the repairs completed . After the loan business concluded, I filed a claim with Farmers.( A customer can file a claim up to 1 year after an incident. I filed the claim about 3-4 months after THE DAMAGE , WELL WITHIN THE ACCEPTED TIMEFRAME.) Some old witch from Farmers , who did not know what she was doing, came out to inspect the house and collect the photos and receipts which totaled over $50,000. She never even looked at the receipts then sent a chek for less than 1/3 of the cost of the repairs to "fully cover" the loss. The damage had also extended into the finished garage wall, which she decided she was not going to cover. No reason was ever provided. Apparently she was not "in the mood" to include that water damage in the claim. The old witch never looked at the receipts and although water damage extended up the wall 48", she claimed she was only going to cover 18" of damage. Two years ago the walls were painted with oil based paint, which is no longer available for use in CA. But according to this idiot, we could repair just 18" and paint water based paint right over oil based paint and everything would match the older paint and be just fine. Uhh...no. Water based paint cannot be painted over oil based paint and after 6 months paint does not match. Nevermind that the walls had to be sanded and primed to accept water based paint now, so this would be even MORE expensive than 2 years ago. I no longer will refer anyone to Farmers and am shopping around for more dependable insurance. I have home, business, and auto all with Farmers and I like my agent, who is good at his job and very prompt in returning phone calls. However, Insurance is worthless if the claims adjustors dont step up to the plate and then only reimburse a customer a small fraction of her loss. $15,000 paid on a claim that cost me over $50,000 even without the damage to the garage walls, is just not cutting it. Any insurance company is friendly and happy to collect your premiums, but a company that fails to pay an adequate amount on a legitiment well documented claim is simply not worth doing buinness with. Adios Farmers.

My experience with Farmer’s spanned about 15 years and was very positive. My only complaint was when they accidentally dropped my life insurance and wouldn’t reissue, even though it was totally their fault. When we changed to another agency, the agent st Farmer’s got pretty rude because he didn’t want to lose the business.

Covers nothing. Doesn’t cover mold had to pay 15k out of pocket. If anything breaks they will come for $70 fix it and if it breaks next wk you will pay another $70. They will never actually replace the item. I’ve had them fix things that break the next month or two again and they charged me again. Would have saved more money just replacing it myself with a new one.
