I've been a State Farm fan for over 25 years - I like that they KNOW and remember me. When we moved to the island, we got State Farm here, too, for house and cars. First agent didn't call us back, but the 2nd agent we tried, Cary Ichinose in Hilo, and his staff, were quick to call back. We've been happy w/them, tho haven't had any claims yet. Years ago, GEICO dropped me bc I drove a Jeep (they stopped all Jeep coverage at one time w/no warning), and that ruined them for me bc it sent me scrambling for coverage. At the time you could only use them if you were a gov't employee (Goverment Employees Insurance Company), or a relative of a gov't employee. I still hold a grudge 25 years later! State Farm gives you lots of discounts - senior, no incident/safe driver, multi-plan (car & home), loyalty (yup! longer you're with them, you get a discount) etc.
