Peter Long – Farmers Insurance

I’ve been buying my insurance here for 10+ years. The ladies who work there are always super nice and accommodating. They provide quotes quickly and are very responsive to all of my requests. I also love it because I can renew my registration through them and get my stickers the same day instead of waiting in long lines at the DMV.
Yes, Farmer’s is more expensive than many other insurance providers but you really get what you pay for. They have always been super quick to pay out for claims and the body shops they have on their preferred list are top notch. The adjusters are easy to get a hold of and they are not stingy when paying out for car rentals and what not.
Overall they are super easy to work with and I plan to stick with them for years to come.

This was probably our fault for not shopping around, but their insurance rates were easily double the price of AAA Insurance with less coverage. I ended up paying them for 3 years until I decided to switch to AAA. I felt like such a fool for getting insurance with these guys, and have now learned my lesson.
To put things into perspective, I was paying $ 1800 annually with Farmers, but was able to bring that down to $ 900 with AAA. Not only that, my Homeowners insurance was $ 780 with Farmers, and $ 400 with AAA.
But here is the worst part, when I canceled my Auto Insurance, they tried to up charge me for Home Insurance bringing me to a grand total of $ 900. Talk about bad customer service. I was already not satisfied with their auto rates, so why are they up charging me on Home Insurance. Do they want to completely lose my business?
Don’t expect a discount if you are Cambodian either. Overall, too expensive, and bad customer service. Definitely shop around.
