Securing a State Farm Quote for Military Families
Military families face unique insurance needs—deployments, PCS moves, on-base vs. off-base parking, and periods of vehicle storage. State Farm can tailor auto and home coverage to match those realities so you’re protected without overpaying.
Below is a simple path to a personalized quote, plus the key questions to ask so you unlock every eligible military discount and avoid gaps during moves or deployment.
Steps to Secure Your State Farm Quote
Gather your driver’s license, VIN or plate, garaging address, prior carrier, and any proof of military status (LES, active-duty ID, or DD-214). Quote the same limits and deductibles you use elsewhere to compare apples to apples. Military families may qualify for extra savings and service options—see our notes below and request them when you price your policy.

Compare real-time auto rates—then ask about storage or reduced-use options during deployment.
Explore Home Insurance Options
Bundle home + auto to stack multi-policy savings and simplify claims.
Explore Optional Coverages & Deployment Adjustments
Review optional features like rental reimbursement while your car is being repaired, roadside assistance, and coverage for personal property during PCS moves. Confirm how temporary garaging changes affect your rate when relocating. If pets travel with you, review how claims handle injuries—start with State Farm’s pet injury claims process.
Expecting deployment or frequent moves? Ask about vehicle storage, comp-only (comprehensive but no liability), or low-mileage declarations. Confirm who can manage the policy while you’re away—set up authorized users or a power of attorney (POA) so your spouse can update vehicles or addresses.
Key Military Scenarios to Discuss When Quoting
Before you finalize your quote, review the most common active-duty and PCS situations with your agent. Asking the right questions upfront prevents coverage gaps and trims unnecessary premium costs.
Use the checklist below during your quote call or in-person visit. If any situation applies—or might apply in the next 6–12 months—ask how State Farm handles it to ensure continuous protection.
| Scenario | Ask State Farm | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment / vehicle storage | Reduced-use rating or comp-only coverage | Lowers premium while keeping theft and weather protection |
| PCS to another state | Ask about garaging rules and temporary transit coverage | Avoids lapses and keeps coverage compliant |
| Spouse manages policy | Add authorized users or POA | Ensures seamless updates during deployment |
| On-base vs. off-base parking | Check rating differences and safety credits | Can influence discount eligibility |
Also review your home insurance if you move frequently. Periods of vacancy or storage can affect rates. When bundling, align deductibles and effective dates across policies—see State Farm bundling tips for guidance.
