StateFarm.com - Here's another company whose
slogan has been ingrained into our heads over the years. "Like a
good neighbor...State Farm is there". In just over 80 years, State
Farm Insurance Companies® has grown from a small farm mutual auto
insurer to one of the world's largest financial institutions. But
despite their growth, they've stayed consistent with their
philosophy to provide insurance coverage at a fair price coupled
with fair claim settlement.
State Farm now offers much more than just auto insurance.
Since it is beyond the scope of this review to outline Banking
Services and Mutual Funds, we're just going to stick to insurance in
this particular review.
The "Insurance" tab on Statefarm.com details all of
the options available to those seeking an insurance policy. Here,
you will find the main types of insurance policies offered, which
include Auto, Homeowners, Condo Owners, Renters, Life & Annuities,
Health & Disability, Long-Term Care, Business, and Boat insurance.
Website
The Insurance information on the State Farm website
is broken down into the following categories:
Access my polices - A members-only section
of the site that allows customers to securely login and gain access
to their account. You can find out details about your auto
insurance, home insurance or other insurance policies that you might
have.
Learn about insurance - Discusses the types
of insurance and types of rate quotes available for any particular
policy.
Get a Rate Quote - Here, you can quickly
obtain an insurance rate quote by providing your information via secure server.
Buy Online - Allows you to sign up directly
over the internet in the convenience of your home. There is no
having to sit and traffic or pick up the telephone.
Identify My Needs - Since there's a lot to
learn when you're first getting started with insurance, most people
want to feel confident that they are making accurate and informed
choices, so here are a few places to help you get started.
Report a Claim or Follow up - This is where
members can submit a claim online, although it is recommended that
all members contact their agent first, since they know the details
of your policy better than anyone.
Make a Payment - Allows you to securely make
a payment, as well as view your insurance bills online.
While we found Statefarm.com to be more complex than
the others, especially since they deal with more than just
insurance, it is still an easy website to navigate. State Farm is a
household name and the numbers speak for themselves. In fact, one
out of every 5 automobiles in the United States is insured by them, making it the nation's No. 1 car insurance. They are also
the leading insurer of homes in the United States, so it should come
as no surprise that we highly recommend State Farm Insurance.
As you would expect from the the leading car
insurance company, their auto insurance portion of the website has a
lot to offer. They address such areas as:
-
How to get an auto insurance quote
-
How to report a car insurance claim
-
Tips for first time buyers of car insurance
-
A complete section on "What is auto insurance and
why do I need it?"
