Is Allstate A Good Insurance Company? Reviews From Over 10,658 Customers

They have become very expensive recently, and I am shopping around looking for a replacement.

Good coverage but too expensive.

I get good services from auto insurance. It's a little higher than some, but no one can beat their home insurance.

My agent is easily available when I have questions, very professional and friendly.

It has been satisfying.

Seems a little high.

Transparent and helpful.

Excellent! Friendly, knowledgeable, customer-concerned.

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.

It is perfect for me. I know I am covered by a good policy and great people if I need help.

Rates are too high. Poor communication skills from some agents.

All aspects of dealing with Allstate have been very good.

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.

They are a very good company.

Best price for my coverage.

Better in general but expensive premium.

It's good, just expensive.

They have been $300 to $1000 cheaper than all the others I have gotten a quote from.

The group works hard to meet your insurance needs.

Agent Matt was excellent.

Good discount on home insurance when combined with auto, but auto is about 2x that of some other insurance providers.

Allstate has been excellent for me for many years. Claims handling is superb. The only issue I have is the price, but that seems to be a function of living in Florida versus other states I have lived in.

Still trying to figure out why I'm paying so much for my age and driving record. Outrageous!

Great customer service and quality.

Overpriced for 2 drivers with less than 7,000 miles a year.

I haven't been with them for long, but I'm very happy so far.

Excellent service - good prices.

I'm completely satisfied with my insurance company.

Always been great for me.

Enrique is the best. He always helps when you need him. Thank you so much for having people like this.

Exceptional service.

Zach Vaswami runs the local office in Norwood, MA. I felt very comfortable with his knowledge, honesty, and transparency. He is extremely helpful in helping me understand the world of home and auto insurance. I like him.

Never any issues.

I'm very happy with my current car insurance company. After being a loyal policyholder with Farmers for over 20 years, Allstate has been awesome.

I am a senior citizen on a fixed income with no car wrecks, no DUI, and I drive a 2010 vehicle. I pay $600 every 6 months.

Excellent

Premiums go up for no apparent reason.

Like all insurance in Illinois, it goes up every year even if you don't have claims.

Good but pricey.

Allstate has much higher monthly payments.

I didn't know that the policy was written in a way that it didn't cover the item when you first receive it. I was told that I needed to have the manufacturer involved first. I have tried contacting them, but they have not returned my phone calls. It's been frustrating.

They raise your premium significantly every 6 months. I drive about 5,000 miles a year. The vehicle sits in the garage 85% of the time. I have had one claim my entire driving existence that cost under $1,500 (driving for 30 years since 1995) and that occurred in 2017. So no claims in 9 years. It is ridiculous that my premium goes up every 6 months.

I have been with Allstate for over 40 years. I don't know how to compare them with anyone else. The claim handling has been good.

I am currently with All-State and I have been with them for about 25 years. I have only one complaint: I am an 81-year-old man living on a fixed income. I drive less than 25 miles a week and only use my vehicle to go to the doctor and grocery store. I am looking for a cheaper alternative. I retired 10 years ago and my wife passed away last year, so please find me a cheaper rate.

Well, even though I’ve never spoken to my “agent,” whenever I call Allstate, the representatives who answer are knowledgeable and friendly. It dismays me that the Allstate charges continue to climb each year and sometimes at the end of each of the covered 6 months!

I have had no problems with Allstate.

Originally, it was very good, both pricing and especially the agency customer service. Now, the pricing is way too high. I have shopped and will be moving my coverage elsewhere.

No problems, trying to save money.

The only bad problem is the cost. I rarely drive because I'm at home - retired. The only places I go are church, the grocery store, and Walmart.

Could work harder at keeping rates down.

So far, so good!

Good rates for my situation.

Great rates.

Best price I could find.

They are good. I've never had any problems with them.

Try them.

Allison is a wonderful agent and she is good at what she does. I appreciate everything she does for the company. Keep up the good work!

Great service and team.

If they don't help with better pricing or return your call, switch.

It's so easy for insurance companies to give you a lower quote. They just gut your policy.

Expensive and always increasing despite a clean driving record.

I wanted to lower my payment, but they wouldn't work with me even though I've been with them for five years.

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.

They continue to raise rates even when no insurance claims are filed.

I called and asked about discounts, and I was told that it could save me 1 dollar. No help. That is why I'm looking for a change.

They quoted one price, then charged another and said it was a "computer glitch," but it hasn't been fixed and no refund or credit has been provided.

Allstate is just too expensive. Their Drivewise program is a joke and does not really work, at least not where I live. Very disappointed in this company.

SHOP! I just found out their prices are astronomical compared to others. I literally doubled my insurance coverage and cut my cost in half by switching to another provider.

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.

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.

Way too expensive for being 58, with no accidents or tickets, and driving a used 2012 vehicle.

I have full coverage with Allstate. It's too expensive and there aren't many discounts. I will be shopping for another provider.

They start with a low rate. They increase the rate substantially every six months.

I had insurance with Allstate for over 2 years. My policy went up over $300 with no accidents and still a good driving record. I switched immediately to State Farm.

Rates change like every 6 months.

I have been with Allstate for many years. My agent cannot lower my rates. I have to switch policies. I also had to cancel my Homeowners. I’m going with State Farm. Much lower policy, same coverage.

They lure you in with promises, but then raise the rates after a year. My home insurance saw a significant increase for the upcoming bill in February.

They are okay, but they raise your rates without notice.

Way too expensive for someone who doesn't drive much and has a limited income.

I am not pleased with the amount I have to pay, which is over $2300.

Prices keep going up with no claims.

The premium goes up every 6 months. I switched to save money, but after 1 year, I'm right back to where my old premium was.

Allstate is too expensive, as are others I've checked out!

OK, but too expensive!

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.

Senior discount will work.

It was great until I got another car, and now I'm being charged more. I've been looking around to save money, and I found four options that can save me. I'm being charged 83 bucks a month, but I found the same coverage for 48 bucks a month, which is 35 dollars less than what I'm paying now with Allstate.

Allstate is more expensive than alternatives. They also don't provide coverage for RVs or motorcycles.

Rates keep going up without notice!

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.

I would look around for something else because I pay over $1,500 every 6 months for 2 cars. One is a 2015 Equinox and one is a 2020 Equinox.

Beware of sudden rate increases without warning and no ability to negotiate.

It's okay at first to get you into the billing cycle, and then it goes up every year to where you can't afford it. But it's okay.

I maintained an auto insurance policy with Allstate for several years and, while my overall risk profile was very low (single vehicle, married couple in our 60s), the premium was extremely high. By the end of the policy, Allstate’s pricing was nearly five times higher than my new insurer for comparable coverage. The one claim I did make—a windscreen replacement—was handled efficiently and professionally, with no issues in the claims process. However, despite satisfactory service on that occasion, the ongoing cost of coverage was simply not justifiable given my low-risk status, ultimately leading me to change insurers.

Well, I’ve never had to use my insurance, so my main complaint is that they keep raising their rates way too high. Otherwise, I don’t know how well they perform or how good my policy is because I’ve never had a claim. My only issue has been with the rates.

Allstate does nothing for good, safe drivers who have never processed a claim, or for senior citizens. The policy keeps going higher and higher. I would never recommend them to a friend.

Great insurance, except they keep going up in price every new 6-month policy! We don't even go more than 2000 miles a year.

Good on claim resolution.

I think it's too expensive and they don't explain anything to you.

The insurance company offered lower rates initially, but when it was time to renew, the rates doubled even though I had no tickets or accidents.

Allstate raises my payments every year even though I've had no claims or tickets.

I wouldn't refer any friends or clients. They are extremely expensive.

Car insurance has been okay. When I got a quote for adding a vehicle and driver, the quoted price was quite a bit lower than the actual price, which is why I am shopping. I also found they logged an accident with LexisNexis as our fault, but the claim says it is not our fault.

They were great until they increased one of my policies by 73 percent - which was a policy that never had a claim.

Check for cheaper rates.

The price is cheaper for the same coverage.

With over 7 years with Allstate, you don't benefit; you get your rate increased every renewal! I'm looking elsewhere!

Very disappointing. Rates are constantly increasing. No DUI, tickets, or accidents. Started at a little over $200/month. Now almost $400. Nothing has changed with our coverage.

I think it’s overpriced considering I have had no tickets, no accidents, no DUIs, ever, and am 74 with an 800 credit score!

I have been with Allstate for many years and have had no claims. However, their premiums are three times higher than Progressive. I think I’m going to change!

Overpriced on auto and homeowners insurance.

Make sure you get a reason why they increased your rate by an additional $1200 a year.

It's ridiculous that the rate and price went up way too much. I thought this would work for me, but now it’s not working out, so I’m going to switch companies.

My broker keeps raising my premium every 6 months.

I have Milewise and barely drive, so Milewise does not go by the mileage you drive. It's expensive for not very good coverage.

They keep raising rates. I started out paying $87.40 a month, and now I'm paying $171.36 a month.

You give no reason as to why my insurance rate went up by over $400. If I hadn't received a $200 safe driver's credit, my cost would have been $1,200 every 6 months. I feel like we have to pay for those who don't have insurance but cause accidents. Meanwhile, safe drivers like me face higher rates. I realize this may mean nothing to you.

They come in with a low rate, and before you know it, you are paying double. They also won’t provide a quote while you're still a member. I would stay if they were competitive. It costs more than double compared to other rates.

Very expensive insurance. It always goes up $200.00 or more yearly.

Very unpleasant after 40 plus years. They will not work with me on pricing to match or come close to other companies. I had 4 cars, now down to 3, and soon will leave. Plus, I have my home and an umbrella policy, which I will probably cancel with Allstate.
