How Farm Bureau car insurance works

To purchase Farm Bureau insurance products, you have to be a member of a Farm Bureau chapter—but that’s easy. Applying for car insurance with Farm Bureau is no different than with any other provider, and accepting a policy automatically makes you a member.

Despite the name, membership is open to all, not just farmers.

Farm Bureau insurance policies do include an annual Farm Bureau membership fee (usually $20 to $30), which is rolled into your policy premium for ease of payment. This fee gets you access to member benefits, such as hotel and rental car discounts, and also secures you a subscription to your chapter’s monthly magazine.

Farm Bureau car insurance coverage options

Farm Bureau’s car insurance is designed to help drivers out when the unexpected happens. A local agent can help customers put together a policy that offers all the coverage they need at a competitive rate.

Farm Bureau’s policies will provide the state minimum liability coverages that are mandated by law in your state. They also sell

full coverage insurance policies

Here are the insurance coverages that Farm Bureau offers:

Type of insurance	What it covers
Liability insurance	This coverage protects you if you cause damage to another driver’s vehicle. It will also cover you if you injure someone with your car. Bodily injury liability and property damage liability are usually included in liability coverage.
Collision insurance	Collision coverage is an optional coverage that covers repairs if your vehicle is damaged in an accident.
Comprehensive insurance	Comprehensive coverage is an optional coverage that pays out if your car is damaged in an incident other than a collision, such as fire, vandalism, weather, animal strikes, and more.
Medical payments (MedPay)	MedPay will pay for medical expenses, hospitalization costs, and more after a covered accident.
Personal injury protection (PIP)	PIP will pay for medical expenses, hospitalization costs, and more after a covered accident.
Uninsured motorist / underinsured motorist insurance	Not all drivers reach out to Farm Bureau for insurance—that’s why there is uninsured motorist coverage. This coverage will cover you if a driver without insurance coverage or without high enough limits injures you or damages your vehicle in an accident.

Options that go the extra mile:

Replacement cost coverage: If your car that is four to five model years old gets in a total loss accident, it will still be eligible for replacement.

Roadside assistance

: Emergency roadside assistance coverage quickly and reliably helps you out with towing, fuel delivery, locksmith services, tire changes, and more. There aren’t any out-of-pocket costs and all you need to do is call Farm Bureau’s Claims Center.
