Your auto insurance premiums change: Do you wonder why?

Many factors affect your auto insurance cost. You can control some of them, such as your choice of vehicle, your driving habits, and the coverages and deductibles you choose.

Then there are some factors over which you — and in many instances your insurance carrier — have little or no control, such as medical costs to treat injuries, vehicle repair costs, costs to adjust claims, and uninsured drivers.

Controlling insurance costs
What is Farmers doing to control insurance costs? Actually, quite a lot. Take a look at some of our ongoing initiatives:


We make available a network of reliable auto repair facilities.
We vigorously oppose frivolous lawsuits.
We have an active Anti-Fraud Unit.
We offer a youth driving safety education program to all parents of young drivers.
