This is the best I could get in insurance. $3,200 for 6 months on 3 vehicles: a 2026 Sportage, a 2023 Rav4, and a 2020 Nissan Rogue.

I was loyal to Allstate for 30 years; that was a mistake. I should have left sooner.
It's too soon to tell, but the price was lower. I had Allstate for 30 years, but they kept raising the rates.

Frustrating Auto Pay Issues
At startup, issues signing up for AUTO PAY were very frustrating. I was labeled via mail as having a bad bank account and lost discounts. It was discovered that it was their fault. It has not been corrected on their end. I demanded removal from my customer history, but it has not been done. I have no claims.

Premium went UP $400 a Month
The good is that they process claims fast and the staff is very helpful. The bad is that my rate went up from $799 to $1137 a month. I will be looking for a different insurance company.

Unhappy Customer
Way overpriced. We're 71 and 72 years old, haven't had an accident in I don't know how long, and haven't had a speeding ticket in probably 30 years. We're still having to pay outrageous rates. There's absolutely no reward whatsoever for being loyal or accident-free. We're still paying for everybody else's problems!

Okay Experience
Normally, they aren't as clear about what they're offering as I would expect them to be, and I have to ask questions. Being a driver who's not driving many miles these days, it seems expensive. But the combination of homeowner and car insurance is pretty good, and they've been generally really good to me.

Auto Insurance is Overpriced
I think auto insurance in LA is outrageously expensive! However, I got a quote from Progressive and they were higher. I think it's ridiculous that seniors over the age of 70, driving less than a mile a day, with no tickets or accidents, on SSI, still have to pay close to $200.00 a month! I do love the agent, Tiffany, who wrote my policy for auto and home though, and that's the only reason I'm sticking with Allstate.

Always confirm with a second representative what you are told about your coverage!
Call the company back to confirm anything that was told to you on a first phone call. I was told by one representative that my policy covered rental cars, but when I was involved in an accident and had to rent a car, I was told that it was not covered and I had to pay for the rental myself.

I have been happy with Allstate home and auto insurance. Unfortunately, my homeowners insurance went up quite a bit this year. I'm checking for less expensive insurance, but past experience shows me that a new insurance company will have a lower rate, then at renewal, prices are increased.

Auto and Home Insurance with Allstate
The price of insurance started very reasonably when I began my car, pickup, and home insurance. In fact, I got the $250 deductible cheaper than my old policy with a $500 deductible. After the first 6 months, my auto insurance jumped over $50/month. I finally had to change my policy to a $1000 deductible to get my payments close to the original amount. I traded my 2019 pickup for a new 2025 model, and the insurance coverage is much cheaper on the new pickup than my wife’s 2019 Lexus RX, which is worth about a third of the value of the new truck. That doesn’t make sense to me.

Know What You Want and Keep It There
Make sure you look at all the fine print and policy freebies. Do not let them increase your policy because they require it. Know what you want and how much you can pay before you sign. Know what you can afford and keep it there. Some "extra items" are for their benefit and not yours.

Not as happy as I was a year ago.
The price increased considerably since a year ago. It's sneaky because I pay per mile, and you don't realize how much more frequently your account is being refilled. There was no notice that there was a rate increase. The per-mile rate almost doubled.

Poor Insurance Company for Their Clients
From an accident that I had, which was not my fault, I felt like they lowballed my settlement for the vehicle. They told me the other insurer would not pay more than that, even if their driver was at fault. I believe I could’ve gotten more money. The adjuster told me that I cannot get more money because it had a new rebuilt engine in it 45 days before and a rebuilt transmission 45 days before that. It had to be 30 days or less. I feel like I was ripped off, and how could I recommend them if this is the way my insurer is going to handle me?

Never use Allstate
They told me that I would save a lot of money, but 6 months later the prices increased significantly, and a year later the prices skyrocketed. I will never use Allstate again. It doesn't matter if you are a safe driver or not; they only want more money.

Go somewhere else.
Don't assume correct information will be part of your policy. I had to correct my address and phone number twice. The ID restoration policy never appeared on my policy page. Not everyone who answered the phone could see this policy either. I had the credit bill as proof, but no proof from the insurance that I had it. It wasn't until a year later and several phone calls that I found someone who could confirm that indeed I had this protection. I am changing companies next month.

Allstate's Preferred Repair Shop Issues
Firstly, never buy insurance online! Although it's convenient (somewhat, because it avoids needing to meet personally with several agents of providers one may be interested in), the online experience rarely, if ever, allows discussion with a real person. Unfortunately, within weeks of getting auto and home insurance with Allstate, we had an auto claim, and it turns out that the agent of record was in Texas when the claim occurred in Ohio, and we live in Pennsylvania. Attempts to connect with the named agent were frequently met with voicemails or text messages. I contacted a local agent to ask if I could have him as my agent of record rather than one over 1,000 miles away. He advised going to the main Allstate website where such a request could be made. Frankly, from a user-friendly perspective, the Allstate site was a nightmare. To add insult to injury, Allstate sent the vehicle to their "preferred" repair shop in the area. After they called to say the car was repaired, my wife and brother-in-law (who has over 30 years of experience in autobody repair and, in fact, managed 5 body shops for over 10 years while he and his wife lived in Alabama) refused possession of the car because the paint they used didn't match the original paint, and the clear coat was not properly buffed into the original. That caused an additional 2-week delay in the return of our car. In addition, the Chevrolet dealership tried to use the opportunity to market a new car when there was never a mention of any intent to purchase a new car. I am, at present, searching for a company other than Allstate to insure both my home and auto.

Hidden Policy Agenda
Find out the hidden information that they don’t explain from the beginning regarding policy increases if you don’t sign up for their discount program called Drive Wise. This program monitors your driving, and you have to drive a certain number of miles within their time period to get the discount. When you meet the required miles, you receive a discount, which takes six months for them to apply to your bill.

Taking Full Advantage of a Loyal Customer
My current insurer is Allstate. I had an unfortunate year in 2024. A dog ran in front of us and did major damage to our front end. A few short weeks later, an 18-wheeler blew a rear dual tire that hit our Jeep and caused us to spin and slam into a guardrail. Neither accident was our fault nor could they be avoided. The consequence was that our premiums have almost tripled and continue to rise. They know it will be difficult for us to change policies. Our credit rating is not exceptional due to a limited income and the huge rise in premiums and other bills. As soon as I can change insurance carriers, I will. No customer loyalty. I had never missed a premium.

Look elsewhere for insurance; there are no bargains here
I've been with them for years with no accidents, no claims, no anything, and we barely drive 5,000 miles a year. My policy has literally tripled since I got them, maybe even more.

They are nice people, but they are terrible when it comes to helping out with costs. Every 6 months, the price increases and they never have a reason. All they say is, "Well, everything is going up." One time they said, "Just like eggs and milk, prices keep going up."

Never Use Allstate
After 7 years of paying for insurance with Allstate and not needing to use it, I grazed a concrete post in a parking lot. Allstate would not fully cover the repairs because they disagreed with the only Tesla-certified body shop in town, which required that we use new parts for the repair. Allstate wouldn't tow my vehicle to a shop of their choice or even tell me a real body shop where I could take the vehicle to have it repaired at the price they said it could be repaired for. So I found out the hard way that Allstate won't actually pay to repair my vehicle. I ended up paying $5k out of pocket after spending 4 months trying to reason with them while my car sat unrepaired.

Allstate continues to increase the premiums as often as they can. I called to remove my daughter and her car and was told it would only decrease my premium by $40 for six months. I’m paying four hundred dollars to cover her car, so they just increased the cost of the other vehicles. The app is pretty good though.

The Setup
When I first signed up with them, I asked to have my payment due date set in the middle of the month, but they didn't do that, and now it's due at the beginning of the month. I was told that if I needed to change my due date, they would have to review my rates. They did, and it increased by almost $200, and they still would not change my due date. So every month, it looks like I'm late. I was told that if I use autopay, I could possibly change my date, but they weren't sure. I also have to pay for roadside service separately, which makes my bill even higher than what I was used to paying. I am very disappointed in their services.
