When you purchase insurance from a State Farm insurance agent you are purchasing insurance from what is termed a captive insurance agent, an agent that sells for just one insurance company. They are employed directly by the insurance company whereas an agent that is independent will be contracted with multiple insurance companies.
To find State Farm insurance agents you can go directly to State Farm's website located at www.statefarm.com and use their zip code agent finder. State Farm provides many other services in addition to insurance. You can also get a rate quote, report a claim, learn about insurance in general and even manage your policies online. They also have special article topics such as 'Cars stolen most often' and 'What affects the price of auto insurance?'. They also provide links to their other websites including Spanish, for Canadians and even one in Japanese.
You can also find an agent by looking in the phone book or asking any of your friends, family or coworkers if they handle their insurance through State Farm and they can direct you to an agent. Before you decide to sign up with a State Farm agent you can visit their website and get more familiar with their products including their State Farm bank and even career opportunities.
