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.

Shop around for coverage
Almost half the price of Esurance with the same coverage. The carrier is a major insurance provider.

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.

Satisfied, but not acknowledged.
I’m happy with my current car insurance. Most of my needs have been met satisfactorily. However, it’s been difficult to reach my agent. He rarely returns calls. I’ve left messages, and while he does respond to my needs, I never receive a callback.

Why the Greed?
I’m only looking at the final number when I shop for insurance! If you have the lowest cost on the 5-month total, you get my money. I don’t look at anything else. It’s a racket. I could have insurance with a company for 6 months, and when it comes time to renew, guess what? The price goes up 100% of the time. This is with having no tickets, no DUIs, no claims, nothing! But the price goes up. Greed is going to get us all.

An Unnecessary Evil
No claims, therefore no related experience to convey in that regard. However, the premium "discounts" are mediocre at best, some of which are "sound-good" for the client's benefit. The agent doesn't respond at all except to remind me of policy renewals. The customer service representative tries hard to be helpful, but is limited by agency policy. Obvious attempt to price-gouge upon policy renewal. This is representative of insurance reputation as a necessary evil, maximizing profit over the client. Increased premium for annual renewal with no claims and prompt, upfront premium payment. Agency practice forces the client to look elsewhere, but this results in the same scenario.

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.

Beware of Allstate
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.

I left a message with Cliff, but there was no response. I will be paying $357 a month for six months at various insurance companies, so I definitely am not giving you $600. I feel like you guys are money-hungry. My car is a 2017 Crosstrek, and in the 5 years I’ve had it, I have only put on 2000 miles. I have an impeccable driving record with no accidents, no tickets, etc. I will never pay you or anybody $600 a month. Thank you for asking.

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.

Disappointed
When I signed up, everything went smoothly, or so I thought. I started getting letters from my car loan through my bank because they said I was not covered. It took me weeks to finally get this taken care of. I expected better than that from Allstate. I also feel my premium should be lower with the same coverage I have. I am retired, elderly, and live on social security.

Too expensive. I've never had accidents. My car was leased, so it had to be fixed to return it. They counted the repairs as accidents. The car was scratched both times, once at a supermarket parking lot and the second time at a mall parking.

Allstate is horrible.
I’d describe it as feeling robbed. I’d tell a friend to avoid them. Their premiums constantly rise and fees are added for anything they can think of. They misrepresent claims as having been “accidents” which are reported and put on record as such, causing future rate quotes from other insurers to be unfairly high. They’re the most costly insurance company I’ve ever had and can’t wait to cancel it forever.

Did my car insurance representative help me or help the company?
My current car insurance is the best so far. They worked with me, told me the truth, and gave me the pros and cons right off. I knew what I wanted, and they provided me with what they could while still keeping my payments below all other insurance companies so far. I didn't feel rushed, and I wasn't quoted high outrageous prices right off. I appreciated the agent for being truthful and showing that it wasn't all about the money. It felt wonderful to actually feel like someone was listening to me and not trying to make their quota for the day. This time it didn't sound like a sales pitch over the phone, for once. Thanks, Progressive Car Insurance.

Insurance to Avoid
It's on you, my friend, if you want them, but I would shop around and do your homework. If you ever file a claim and later decide not to use them, they won't let you. The prices are way too high for someone who has never had an accident, has multiple cars on the plan, and a home.
