A Search for Lower Policy Fees Seems Futile
I have been with Allstate for many years. It is always easy to contact an agent to answer questions I may have about my policy. Any concerns have been handled professionally, respectfully, and promptly. At this time, I am researching possible alternatives to lower auto policy fees. I have found that the car policy charges may be higher than other companies, but no one has been able to offer lower home insurance than what I get with Allstate. So, with all that said, I am still searching for a reduction in car insurance charges along with someone who can match Allstate’s home insurance—at this point, I’m unsure what to do. It seems best to stay with Allstate for the time being.

Bloomfield, NJ Allstate Office: Poor service
Lack of professional knowledge and confusing explanations from both junior and senior staff members. Senior staff sometimes act like they have the right information about policy structure and rules, but they often don’t have current, relevant policy details and facts. It took me several calls and a lot of frustration to get to even a 3-star level of satisfaction. This Allstate office in Bloomfield, NJ lacked enough seasoned staff to answer calls or help customers accurately. The company’s HQ seemed unconcerned with customer satisfaction and focused mainly on collecting payment rather than the customer experience. I once called and spoke with the agent, and his tone felt unconcerned, though he said he would have the issue handled at the time. I don’t remember if there was any positive resolution. I’m sharing this to say: please look carefully and put in extra effort to find another insurer, and especially avoid this Allstate office in Bloomfield, NJ.

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.

Started out OK, steady, and going up every month. Every year on home and vehicle. I have Drivewise on the vehicle.
Homeowners is a little high, but okay. Car insurance is definitely higher than everybody else. Only the house is keeping me there, but this is going to be the last year. Rates seem to be coming down on the home, so I know I can beat it and I’m in pretty good shape to switch over.

Not a Good Fit
Not good. We got a great rate and saved a lot, but right off the bat we were supposed to download their app and have it monitor our driving. The problem was there was no way they could tell if we were riding with someone else, and the website was iffy. We were told the price would go up if we didn't use the app, and it did—an additional $85 per 6 months. Now they sent me an email saying it will go up again if we don't take 50 more trips in our car before the payment is due again. That’s in 2 months. We’re retired, and the car sits sometimes for days without being used, so I’m looking again.

Basic Customer Service Requirements
It would be nice to pay less for senior status. The accident-free discount is good. A multi-vehicle discount would be appreciated—I have four vehicles to insure. I’m not happy that I have to pay separately for roadside service; towing should be part of the basic plan, not an add-on. I’d like a discount for going digital and more payment options besides paying the full amount up front or monthly. It seems like there’s a huge price difference when paying monthly, and that doesn’t feel fair. Not everyone has $2,000 ready for a lump-sum payment. If I have an accident, it would be good to have an in-person adjuster available within a day or two instead of a week.

They have been a good company for paying out on claims, but loyalty gets nothing in consideration to rates. I have been with them since 1982 and my rates are through the roof. They are always raising and NEVER offering a lower rate. I’m curious how much of my rate goes to agent commission.

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.

Very poor and our insurance rates went up for a not-at-fault accident
They’ve changed the way they do business, and not for the better. We had a car run a stoplight and T-bone her in the driver’s door.

We never heard another word from them, and they never recovered our money, but we still see this same person driving around with a new car and bragging about never having to pay out.

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.
