Friends: 0 |  refusal to renew insurance policy I heard a rumor that State Farm is going to start refusing to renew the insurance policy on any car that has had a plug-in conversion done to it. The reason supposedly has something to do with too many claims being filed on those cars. (I was unable to find out what kind of claims were being made.) Has anyone heard about or experienced anything like that with State Farm or any other insurance company? |

State Farm believes in being environmentally responsible, and was recognized by Fleet Magazine in 2008 as having the 3rd largest non-governmental alternative-fuel fleet. State Farm does not automatically nonrenew hybrid auto policies that have the plug-in converter, but in case-by-case situations we may request further underwriting review. We encourage anyone interested in State Farm insurance to contact their agent for more information. If you’re not yet working with a State Farm agent, you may visit statefarm.com , "Find Agents Near You" section to locate an one in your area. Thanks! Sue K.
