Is Allstate A Good Insurance Company? Reviews From Over 12,019 Customers

Great customer support and flexible rates.

They have been great in the past, but prices keep rising.

The rates increase every month.

Your agent is very knowledgeable and eager to be of service.

It's better than Insuify or whatever you call yourselves. You quoted me a price that's $200 more than what I currently pay.

Pretty good.

Good, but home insurance is too high, and auto insurance is too high for seniors, even with discounts.

I have had a great experience with Allstate.

Everything is good; I'm just comparing prices.

Good overall, except I’m paying too much.

I feel safe with Allstate. They offer great discounts quarterly. It's the best insurance I've ever had.

My only complaint is the price of the premium. I must look for lower prices.

The premiums are high and they're constantly being raised. The customer service can also be quite rude at times.

Allstate's response is really good.

Overall, I had an excellent experience with Allstate. The only problem I had was the exceptionally high policy costs.

It was very good.

My experience has been good overall, but I can't afford their 6-month insurance bill for my truck.

The segregation department lacks knowledge and the proper procedure for handling accident cases. They mailed important documents to the wrong postal department, not to mention unregistered. My car was damaged at my place of residence while parked in the parking lot since January 27, and until now, I can't get back the $1000.00 I paid to get it out of the repair shop. I also requested the depreciation value for my car. This negligence was done by a government postal service. Why can't I get my money back? I pay a lot for insurance. Your claim department staff is very inefficient and lacks the skills needed to serve customers. Please get me my money back before I seek further help in doing so. This is the government, it's not a regular insurance company. There should not be any issues paying out the deductible. Why hasn't your insurance lawyer sent a demand yet?

I'm paying by the mile, and it costs me $196.00 for 1 month to 6 weeks. This is with no accidents, tickets, etc. So, I would advise my friends to shop around.

No one answers the phone or calls back quickly. Poor customer service.

Very good.

The rates keep going up.

The service is good, but as a senior citizen living on Social Security, I've noticed that my monthly payments keep increasing every time my policies come up for renewal.

It needs to be cheaper for seniors who drive less than 100 miles a month.

My advice would be to sign up with Allstate immediately if you haven't already! I believe they are the best in terms of pricing, coverage, and customer service!

I've been just searching for better rates on car and house insurance. Cindy's office has been great for a long time. However, I'm saving over $1,000 per year with another company. I'm still checking all my options.

Allstate is great. Thankfully, I haven't had any problems or incidents to use it and hopefully, I never will.

Allstate has been easy to contact, and their representatives are polite and responsive.

They nearly doubled my cost and I had no idea.

Good service.

They are very professional and polite. However, I found a better price elsewhere.

Very good.

It's really easy and straightforward when it comes to cost and coverage.

Allstate is a good company. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't get a better quote for my 2011 Toyota Camry. I'm currently paying $156 per month, which I believe is too expensive. Particularly when I only drive it less than 10 miles every Saturday since October 2024. They were only willing to offer me a $5 discount and increase my deductible. I wasn't happy with that, so I switched.

This is a great, solid company. I know they will take care of me. However, I am concerned about their car insurance rates.

The rates could be better when compared to other carriers.

The insurance needs to be more affordable.

Maintain good communication with your agent.

They were great and helped me in every way I needed after my accident. Thank you.

Great experience overall, just wanted to see if I could get a lower rate.

The service is great, but it's costly.

I've never had any problems. They are very quick to answer questions and are very knowledgeable.

Awesome.

Very good.

Great, but I never received my Drive Wise discount.

They have modern technology and top-notch customer service.

It seems that all insurance premiums have gone up. However, there are a few that are lower. So, do they offer comparable coverage, or do you have to hire an attorney to read the fine print?

They are satisfactory, but some of their rates are too high.

It was a mediocre experience. I was misled on the home insurance quote. The corporate headquarters admitted that their representative made a mistake. She was rude and, despite having it in writing, she refused to honor my quote. The discrepancy was about $100. Signed, Wayne Hurteau.

I've saved a lot of money with Allstate's Milewise policy. I've shopped around with other companies for comparison and none of them were able to match, let alone beat, the premium I'm paying for the coverage I'm getting.

It's a necessity, that's all. I'm still waiting for my current cards to be sent to me according to the main office. Yes, I'm still waiting.

Shop around, you can do better. They'll want to take out their money a week early. They'll send you a message a day before, saying it's due on the 9th when you know that it's not due until the 25th.

The insurance agents are receiving a significant portion of the amount that customers pay. However, they are quite reliable when it comes to paying claims.

I pay them, and they cover my vehicle.

Overall, I had a good customer service experience and the rates were reasonable.

The representative actually listens to the customer regarding their wants, needs, and price.

Friendly service.

I've been with Allstate since 1977. I have no traffic violations and have made only 2 claims due to acts of nature and getting hit from the back. Despite having good credit, I believe I should receive a better discount. However, I'm told it's the fault of the state of NJ.

My representative, Al, is totally awesome. However, price is an issue in today's world, especially as a retired person.

I would definitely recommend Allstate. My agent has been there for me when I moved and was required to have rental insurance. He made sure they received a copy every year. They are a bit pricey but provide good coverage and once you reach a certain level, the deductible is waived.

The initial rates were reasonable. However, when I notified them of my spouse's passing, my auto rate jumped by $210. Many other vendors allow a 'widower' status. Alstate effectively told me they couldn't help.

Too expensive.

I have never had an accident, yet Allstate keeps raising my rates.

I just don't like the price.

They are sticking to their original inspector's guess (from when I bought the house 3 years ago) that this house still has the original roof (28 years old). Google Earth Historical Imagery clearly shows that the roof was replaced 8 years ago. This means they will only cover my roof at 25% of the replacement cost, as opposed to the 76% that they should be covering it. They insist on seeing an invoice to prove that the work was done, which I have been unable to obtain from the previous owner. Why would I renew with a company that is proving they will not fully cover me, especially on the most likely part of the policy that I will need in the future?

Prices kept going up every year without any reasonable explanation.

It's too expensive.

I would never recommend Allstate to anyone I know. When I started, I had a great experience with the office. However, the staff changed and it has been very difficult dealing with them. I can't wait to switch to a new provider.

There is no contact, and when I've tried to speak to my agent, he never returns the call nor does he try to reduce my fees.

Check all pricing.

I have three old cars and my rate increased to $9,000 per year.

They offer lower rates, especially for seniors with clean driving habits.

It was good until they raised my rate by $40 and never informed me.

Every six months, the premiums went up. There were no claims or tickets; just high prices for no apparent reason.

Very bad! There was a payment that didn't go through and, through no fault of my own, the head of the agency took away my discount. Also, one person hit me from behind and another person hit and ran. My policy went from $182 to $199 a month!

Their service is terrible, both in auto and home insurance. I would recommend using a different company!

I've noticed that they are constantly seeking approval to raise their insurance rates, and New Jersey seems to grant them this approval. Five years ago, when I bundled my auto and homeowners insurance, the total payments amounted to $1500. This year, my bundled yearly rate has soared to over $2200. In just five short years, my insurance has jumped by $700, despite having no claims, accidents, or driving tickets.

Too high.

I was with Allstate for 8 years, but they kept raising my rate! It used to be below $153, then it increased to $153, then $163, and finally $190. I can't afford that. I have no accidents on my record, except for a hit and run incident where the person caused no damage to my car, only leaving a white powder that I dusted off. I informed my agent at Allstate, Jane, about this. Despite having no tickets and no damages, I couldn't afford their insurance prices. This month, I switched to Progressive. However, they required my daughter's signature on some documents, which I found unlawful as I'm the only policyholder. They also increased my insurance to $232. It feels like everyone is trying to take my money. Neither Allstate nor anyone else would fix my windshield, which would cost $1,000 because a homeless person damaged it. I'm struggling to find suitable insurance, especially since my car is financed. On top of that, I'm homeless because no one will rent an apartment to me due to my $1,300 in bills, despite earning $4,000 a month. It's frustrating that there seems to be a bias against people based on their credit scores.

Check out other insurance companies for discounts.

Watch what they charge.

The policy is not great; it increases often.

The claims experience is less than stellar.

It's too pricey. Every year, the cost goes up. They also try to discourage you from making a home claim.

My husband and I have been with Allstate for 44 years. The policy price has been steadily increasing. Currently, we pay $296 every month.

They did not investigate my accident claim and declared me at fault. I suspect it was a strategy to increase my insurance. The other car cut in front of me in freezing rain and fishtailed.

They're okay when you first sign up. However, after one year, the rates increase by 40%.

They're terrible. I used their service for six months at a certain rate. Then, they persuaded me to use the Driveway Wise feature to get a discount. However, they used it against me and increased my rates by $600 for the next six months. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Too expensive.

Despite having no claims, I've experienced continuous rate increases.

I'm not happy with the cost of my policy! One minute, my policy is between $250, and now it's $556 a month. This is unacceptable! It's just too much money for multiple cars, a 2015 Honda Accord and a 1997 Ford Ranger that is paid for. I really don't understand why this insurance is so expensive!

The payments are too high.

Okay, they push a lot of rewards and digital data watching your drive. I just want to pay a fair price for good service. No call centers, no silly rewards, just a fair price for my driving record.

It’s just impossible to talk to a human being. A new policy was mailed with no explanation. I’m still waiting on my policy for this past year. Claims handling was nonexistent. The adjuster contacted me one time and then ignored me. When I could speak to her, she had to go talk to someone down the hall. It took from March to the end of September to finish the claim.

The only time I had a claim was after a fender bender in a parking lot while I was backing out of a spot. The agent accused me of being on drugs. I had just come from getting my hair cut, and I was not on drugs. Last year, I paid via electronic payment from my bank, and I even showed my bank statement. He accused me not only of nonpayment, but also of having bounced checks in the past (which never happened). He made no effort to look into it and cut off my insurance. I had to pay a $493 penalty. The lady who handles my home insurance helped me straighten things out. I filled out paperwork twice to have everything transferred to her, but this year I found he was still in charge of my account and I had to switch. They still took out a $1,300+ payment (for 6 months) from my checking account. Who knows how long it will take to get that back.

It's too expensive compared to other insurance.

The people who took over from Powell Insurance are not as efficient.

I would not recommend them to anyone.

Every time I asked a question about a leak in the ceiling during a rainstorm, the response was that it's a maintenance problem. That was the response to any question I asked. I've asked three questions. I received notice that my home insurance increased by $350 without any advanced warning.

The worst. They are dishonest and provide misinformation. They denied a covered comprehensive claim.

It's expensive, but they handle claims well.

I would never recommend Allstate to a friend. They seem to be more interested in making a huge profit than helping their customers. They are, in my opinion, the absolute worst.

They removed my discount for direct withdrawal due to an unpaid payment, which wasn't my fault. Then, they increased my payments because of two accidents that weren't my fault. They refuse to return my phone calls or text messages.

I've been with Allstate for 8 years. I was in an accident that wasn't my fault, but they assigned the blame to me. Now, I have to hire an attorney. I disputed their decision, but they aren't returning my calls. This is absolutely absurd. If I knew they were going to treat me like this, I would never have given them my business. I will always leave a negative review for them.

I would have never switched to Allstate if I had known that every three months they were going to increase my monthly bill. This is despite the fact that I haven't had any at-fault accidents and I'm over 35 with no tickets or anything.

Don't trust the Milewise account. They deduct money from your account without prior communication. Moreover, they may even take double payments.

You can find the same coverage cheaper elsewhere.

They overcharge their customers and appear greedy. No one should have to pay $400 a month to drive a Ford truck, especially if they have no tickets, points, or DWIs. It seems like a scam. I would rather park the car than pay that amount.

The auto insurance is too high.

The agent does not follow through and seems to not care about me.

I never know what my bill is going to be.

Unfortunately, I had many unpleasant mishaps with my car, most of which were not my fault. While Allstate handled claims pretty promptly, it came at an increasing cost. They even told me it would be cheaper to keep a totalled car on the policy with another vehicle to keep costs down!

Dealing with the claims department was the worst. The catastrophe team is horrible. The agent was fine but could only do so much with the claims portion.

They communicate well with claims and show concern about your well-being. However, I'm not sure how they can save you money.

I'm frustrated with Allstate because they significantly increase your premium if you file a claim. They even try to convince you that your discounts are greater than your payment, which is not true.

I feel like I'm overpaying, but I'm not sure why! I've never paid more than $150 per month for auto insurance before. The deductible seems absurdly high.

The cost of minimum coverage is poor due to its high price.

It's too expensive.

They don't know how to communicate with customers and they don't ensure that your vehicle is repaired in a timely manner. Overall, they are the worst company I have ever had.

Too expensive without any explanation.
