State Farm
- AM Best: A++ (superior)

- BBB: Not accredited with an F rating
- NAIC complaints: 0.84 (fewer complaints than expected for company size)
State Farm's average Toyota Camry insurance rates are among the cheapest of the providers we reviewed. The company also stands out for its excellent third-party ratings, including the top financial strength grade from AM Best, a high claims satisfaction rating by J.D. Power, and a high score in most regions for broader customer satisfaction in another J.D. Power study. State Farm offers an array of auto insurance discounts, including two usage-based programs and a few vehicle equipment discounts Camry owners may qualify for. The F rating from BBB is an outlier caused by State Farm's nonresponsiveness to complaints filed with the BBB. Whereas everywhere else State Farm is highly rated.
I have firsthand experience with State Farm as a policyholder, and I've found the company's customer service, claims process, and roadside assistance service to outshine other car insurance companies I've used in the past. State Farm also offers a generous bundling discount if you get your homeowners insurance from the company.
- Excellent third-party ratings
- Dedicated insurance agent for every policyholder
- Cheap premiums for Toyota Camrys on average
- Fewer optional coverages than some competitors
- Poor customer reviews with the BBB

What factors affect Toyota Camry insurance rates?
- Camry model year: Since new Toyota Camrys are worth more and cost more to repair than older used Camry models, car insurance premiums are typically higher for newer Camrys. The safety record of that model and the risk of theft will also impact your rate.
- Security features: Depending on your Camry model year and trim level, your car may have an anti-theft system that could earn you a discount on your policy.
- Location: Average premiums vary from one ZIP code to the next, due to differences in theft and accident rates, mechanic and attorney wages, medical care costs, local weather events, and the likelihood of litigation. Urban Camry drivers tend to pay more, especially in cities with a high cost of living.
- Coverage options: State minimum liability coverage is cheaper than full coverage. The liability limits and deductible you choose will also affect your premium. And you'll typically pay extra for optional coverages like roadside assistance.
- Driver profile: For the drivers listed on your policy, insurers consider age, gender, credit score (in most states), driving record, and use of the vehicle when determining the premium for your Camry.
How to lower Toyota Camry insurance costs
If you want to lower your car insurance premium for your Toyota Camry, consider the following tips:
- Compare car insurance quotes: Since every insurer weighs your information a little differently when determining your premium, it's wise to collect quotes from multiple companies. You can start with the companies in this guide vor check out our list of the best car insurance companies.
- Seek discounts: Check whether your Camry is eligible for vehicle equipment discounts. You can also ask about payment discounts, student discounts, multi-policy and multi-vehicle discounts, and other ways to save money on car insurance.
- Raise your deductible: Choose a high deductible to reduce your premium. Just remember, you'll be responsible for that amount if you file a collision or comprehensive claim and need to repair your car.
