Discounts

Get a whole lot of something with
Farmers Policy Perks℠

When you purchase a policy with Farmers, you're not just getting insurance backed by almost a century of experience. Now, you can unlock discounts, save money, and get benefits — with Farmers Policy Perks.

Choose from a variety of perks. Some start the moment you sign up for a policy; others help you save money the longer you're with us. Safe driver perks? We've got those. And added coverage perks? Got them too.

So which perks will you choose? I’m always happy to help with any questions you might have! Call or email any time.

Apply for the Farmers® Rewards Visa® and Visa Signature® cards and watch your rewards add up quickly. Cardholders can enjoy exclusive benefits and rewards. Use your points for a credit card statement credit to offset purchases or redeem points for travel, gift cards, and merchandise.

When you pair up ADT’s connected home technology with its professional monitoring services, you’ll be rewarded with smart home conveniences and industry-leading home security. And you may also enjoy a healthy discount off your Farmers home policy. Call me today and find out how.

Farmers® agents provide this service in person or online to help you review your existing coverage, so you can decide how to keep up with your changing insurance needs.

- As your life changes, maybe your policy should too

Changes in your life can add up to changes in insurance needs. A change in marital status, the birth of a child or the purchase of a new home are just a few examples of life events that may create overlaps or gaps in your coverage.

- Review your coverage and possibly save money

Just as you continue to change and grow, Farmers® has been growing for over 85 years. A Farmers® customer can be the first to enjoy access to new benefits (like when we became the first insurance group to offer a discount for alternative-fuel vehicles). Talk to us about a Farmers Friendly Review® - we can provide you with insurance options and discuss any available discounts for which you may qualify so you can select the coverage that best fits your needs.

- How often should you have a Farmers Friendly Review® session?

We recommend a Farmers Friendly Review® at least once a year or whenever you have a qualifying life event change. If you like, I can even set a reminder for us to keep an annual appointment to discuss your changing coverage needs.

Give us a call to set up your Farmers Friendly Review®.

Reward yourself for being a focused driver with Signal® from Farmers®. It’s an easy to use app-based tool that can help you earn a discount on your auto policy and a chance to win up to $100 every month.* Contact me to learn how to enroll.

Office staff was friendly yet professional. Adam explained the nuances of auto and home coverages for our state. He answered our questions and mentioned other topics for consideration. I felt we were given good information, had the chance to ask questions, or explore further options. Dave made sure we understood the team concept, and that we could contact anyone and gt the help we needed. Overall, a positive insurance experience.
