Allstate
My agent is fantastic. However, I had one at-fault accident in 40 years, and Allstate raised my premium about 30%. I moved to Allstate about a year ago after 50+ years with State Farm because of better rates, but that’s disappeared. I’m actively searching for another carrier. The Trudella Insurance agency is easy to deal with, and I would recommend them. I’m just very disappointed with the rate increase.

Allstate accident forgiveness is a joke
I thought car insurance companies worked for you to get the best value, but the only thing that’s happened is my rates went up. I had a claim and they went up even more. I asked about accident forgiveness, and I was told it covers $500. Almost no repairs are less than $500 anymore. I’ve been there 8 years and only made one claim. I got one quote from Progressive, and I’m looking at $1,600 in savings per year for car and homeowner’s insurance, so it’s bye-bye Allstate. I won’t recommend them.

Low rates are not a good deal if they won’t honor your claim when needed.
I have always had good experiences with them. If I had a claim, they were prompt with payment. I had friends who used Progressive and it was a problem getting them to pay up. I don’t like State Farm for the same reason. Getting a good discount is not worth it if, when you need to file a claim, you have to fight them in court for your money.

Folks Being Treated Unfairly After Years of Paying Premiums
I feel this company treated me unfairly. The adjusters denied my claims and gave me incorrect information, saying I didn’t have coverage or that they wouldn’t pay the claim. At a time of need, I had to deal with this kind of behavior. It made me sad that I chose this company for over 30 years to insure my properties, only to be treated this way. Several adjusters said no to my claims and stated there was nothing that needed to be paid or that I didn’t have coverage. It was an unbelievable experience and felt like a big business bullying a customer. I only received help from a few representatives who helped me recover damages. I would not encourage my friends or family to select Allstate for any kind of coverage, because my claims experience was very disappointing.

Had damage to my house and garage. The quotes were normal, but Allstate’s was too low. I told them to get their people to do the work, but no one would for what Allstate wanted to pay. Then my insurance dropped my 2022 F-150 and my 2016 350. I added a 250 and it was the same price, with no drop in insurance. I now have another insurance company with a $1,000 cut. I’d been with Allstate from 1980 until now.

Auto Insurance Dissatisfaction
They’ve started acting like the estimator, and they refuse to use the body shop you think does the best work in your area. I don’t withhold anything from my premiums, so why do they get to dictate how much they’re willing to pay on my behalf when a claim is submitted?

I thought I was in "good hands" until they dropped me.
I was happy until I tried getting information on the payout for salvaging my vehicle. No one would provide the documentation I asked for. I’m now planning to file in small claims court over how my case was handled. The claims rep was really great, although he didn’t take into account that I’m 80% disabled and had trouble understanding the paperwork. Yes, I was taken advantage of by the mechanic, and no one would provide the name and address of the agent for service of process.

My Experience with Allstate I honestly believed Allstate was a good insurance company until I discovered what had been happening with my policy. Three years ago, my vehicle was involved in an accident caused by another driver and was totaled. I contacted Allstate to have the vehicle removed from my policy. Instead, the vehicle was suspended, and I continued paying insurance premiums on a vehicle I had not had in my possession for approximately three years. Allstate also handled the claim, so the company was aware that the vehicle had been totaled. After recently discovering this, I realized that I had paid approximately $2,000 in premiums for a vehicle I no longer owned or possessed. I had previously contacted my local agent about the vehicle, but unfortunately, the issue was never properly taken care of. It has now been about two weeks of trying to get this resolved. I have been going back and forth and playing phone tag with Allstate’s corporate office. As of this review, the matter is still being investigated, so I am hopeful that Allstate will make this right and resolve the situation fairly. What is especially frustrating is that my insurance premiums continued to increase over the years, and the explanation I was given was that the increases were due to the area where I lived. I never thought to question whether I was still being charged for a vehicle that had been totaled years earlier. This experience has definitely changed the way I look at my insurance. My advice to anyone with insurance is to pay close attention to your premiums, review your policy regularly, and make sure you know exactly what you are being charged for. Don’t assume everything is correct just because you have been with an insurance company for years. I am still hoping Allstate will resolve this appropriately. How they handle this situation from here will determine whether I can continue to recommend them as an insurance company.

Bad—they weren’t available when I had an accident. No one answered the phone. It was a Sunday, but that shouldn’t have made a difference. They also didn’t help much to resolve it. The claims representative was very difficult to deal with. I really dislike Allstate and plan to switch to a company with better customer service.

I'm Not Happy With Allstate Anymore
I'm not happy with Allstate anymore. I don’t understand what coverage is best for me. I like to get billed every month, but I get billed for my car insurance every other month. I get confused about what my car or condo insurance covers. My income property is almost $2,000.00 a month. My condo insurance went up tremendously, and my car insurance went up too.

Disappointed
With the increase in the cost of living, I try to understand why companies lure you in with an initial quote that isn’t reasonable based on how old my car is and the fact that I’m a great driver with many years of driving experience. Then, within the first six months, they raise the cost of the policy for no apparent reason. What made it worse is that, after a Google search, I was connected to an insurance salesperson who quoted me a price comparable to what I had with Allstate before I received the letter about the six-month increase. When I agreed to go with them, I was embarrassed to find out I was actually talking to my own insurance company, Allstate. I’m incredibly confused about how she could offer a quote so close to what I already had before the increase, with the exact same coverage, and it was my own company. I’m at a loss for words. Then I was advised by the agent, Michelle, to call Allstate and request that they change my driver status to work mileage and basically claim that I only drive 5,000 miles a year. Either way, it felt very misleading, and I’m disappointed. I wanted to add home coverage once I got comfortable, and I’m also shopping for a slightly used truck. I’m so confused by insurance companies, and I truly hope the choice I made with my current auto insurance company was a good one and that they are 100% honest with me. I wish Allstate had kept their word and left no doubt in my mind, like I have now.

User Review Collection and Methodologyexpand/collapse

Insurify collects reviews from users on its platform who have successfully compared quotes, as well as users who have purchased a policy through Insurify. These users complete an optional survey asking them to review their experience with their current insurance company and to rate the company on factors like customer service, claims handling, coverage availability, discounts, policy flexibility, policy transparency, and value for money. These ratings and reviews are then compiled and cleaned by our data team to bring you company-level insights from over 85,000 Insurify users.
