In good hands, but those hands are deep in my wallet.
I have had no issues other than the price being too high to feel any value.

Allstate is a great large company, but their agents leave a little to be desired. The company is too large to see the needs of their customers. They start off reasonably but quickly raise the premiums.

Thank you for informing me about removing my daughter from my insurance because she lives out of town. Her car is also out of town, and it won’t cover anything that happens to it. So, thank you for letting me know. I want to take her off my insurance. I’ve been paying for over two years or a year, wasting my money on something that is not helping her or me. I’d like to say thank you for letting me know, even though you didn’t inform me. I called to find out why my insurance is so high. I’ve been offered some other insurance companies to lower my insurance, and this is one way I can lower it by taking her off. Thank you.

They are good, but their rates have just gone through the roof, so I am making a change.

Insurance as long as you never file a claim
I need better rates, and when you file a claim, in 3 years you go up. The reason you have insurance is to use it when you need it. 1 in 3 years is not excessive; 3 in 3 would be. You want money for nothing, and as long as you never file a claim, you are a golden client...but file a claim, and you are somehow a liability.

My Experience with Allstate
It's a great insurance company, but what I don't like about it now is that you don't get someone right away; you have to go through prompts to get a person.

Boat claim
I have no problem with Allstate except for a boat claim. For some reason, you have to report it through their auto claim, and most of the info makes no sense for a boat claim! In the end, it all works out.

A Happy Customer
I would say I had a very experienced young lady helping me. Her expertise shined in her ease of starting and ending policies. Allstate's product they offer for our protection is very hard to beat. My insurance writer, Emily, is amazing and informed me of several options I previously did not have with my Progressive policy. Best regards.

Good service, not always the lowest rates
I’ve had no issues communicating with my Allstate agent. I naively believed they would always look for the best rates for me. When I started shopping, I saw that wasn’t the case. I think it’s the company policy and not the local agents.

The office is great, but it's the people you deal with when there is an accident that matter. In my opinion, the office where I pay should follow up with the customer while the claim is in process.

Too expensive. They raised my rates even though I have had no DUIs, no speeding tickets, and no accidents. I have filed zero claims with Allstate, but they still raised my rates. They are now canceled, and I found a new company.

Allstate, A Little More Expensive with Good Customer Service
Good customer service, but comparing identical coverages with multiple other major car insurers, even with a homeowners insurance discount we can't get from other companies without also changing homeowners insurance, Allstate is a little more expensive. The cost difference is not enough to go through the hassle of changing, but if I had to do it over, I wouldn't use Allstate.

If you want to pay excessive premiums, use Allstate.
I would tell my friends to avoid Allstate completely due to their very high prices.

Shop around. Allstate has been around a long time. I keep them because I don't think they will go out of business. Therefore, Allstate will be there if I ever need them. I think my rate should be a lot cheaper. I have been blessed and I don't file claims.

Unless you have money to waste, go somewhere else.
Go with someone else. They are expensive and the rates keep going up even though I've filed no claims. I live in a small house and my insurance has shot up to $144. Currently checking out other companies.

They won't insure on Long Island unless you are more than 2 miles away from water. That's over 600 miles of Long Island!

First claim has been a disaster!
We recently made our first claim in 30 years. We had hail damage from a huge storm with high winds and golf ball-sized hail! The claim was made at the end of September, yet it is 11/22 today, and we haven’t heard a word since the roofers put on the new roof 3 weeks ago! The communication is horrible, and they said they would give us 88% of a new roof! Now we are sitting in limbo, waiting for something to happen after a horrible experience with the roofers, who tried to do the new roof in the dark!

How to Lower Your Insurance
I haven’t filed a claim in the last 10 years. I think your insurance should go down when you’re driving only 50 miles a week. I’ve been carrying my daughter for the last four years, paying $95 for her insurance. I called them to find out why my insurance was so high and told them my daughter lived in New York and that’s where the car is. I’ve been paying on that for the last five years, which is money wasted because I can’t use the insurance in New York if she has an accident. I think they should check your insurance to see how many people are still driving and on your insurance. Age should have something to do with it too. I’m 80 and still paying over $2000 a year. I know my house insurance is included, but my car insurance is more. I’m trying to cut back on some bills, and your insurance should be one of them if you don’t drive much. If you haven’t had an accident in over three years, your insurance should go down.

Payment date was supposed to be the second of each month.
The due date changes way too often. I had to stop an auto payment as they were going to take money 2 weeks earlier than normal. I was told an amount and that went up as well.

I dislike Allstate
Way too expensive! We are a retired couple who drive our two vehicles approximately 7,500 miles a year each. One is a 2001 Dodge 2500 Ram pickup, and the other is a 2018 Toyota 4Runner. Both are paid off, no DUIs, no tickets, both college-educated, and the only claims have been for rocks going through the pickup window. We both have excellent credit scores and have never missed a premium. No breaks given to us, only high premiums. And we bundled our boat, 5th wheel, and house. What a rip-off!

There's a lack of communication if you have a claim, and they will not answer your questions. They are always unavailable. To add a vehicle, you can't do it online, and it has a very difficult process. I would not recommend it.

Allstate is awful
My insurance was under $400 for 6 months. A rock from the highway cracked my windshield. I filed a claim, and they wouldn’t let me go to my choice of repair shop. Allstate kept rerouting me to Safelite. They were unable to calibrate my car, so I had to go in a second time to redo my windshield. Now they keep raising my premium! It’s now $728. That’s why I left. No car accidents. I’m also a CDL carrier. Allstate is awful.

Won't use All-State for home insurance anymore.
I found out from a previous employee about their directive that they are not supposed to cover roof damage. Unfortunately, it was after my roof was damaged. They said it was not wind damage even though two trees were blown down and my son's trampoline was blown over 30 feet.

Allstate's Rate Increase
I had no issues until they raised my auto rates from $303 to $530 a month. There was no explanation, no accidents, no claims, and no tickets. They just said it was an "industry adjustment." I am nearly 60 years old and have been driving for over 40 years. It feels like highway robbery.
