I haven't had any problems. I am 83 and on a fixed income, and my premium is $220 a month. I only drive my car maybe once a week or two.

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.

I was satisfied until I had an accident that totaled my car and a claim from the person I hit. Then my policy rate tripled. I have had Allstate insurance for over 60 years in 4 states.

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.

Good thing Allstate sent a renewal reminder so I could know how much I was overpaying. Switched to Progressive for a better deal.

Outrageous
Too expensive and the cost goes up every policy period for no reason. Allstate pockets billions of dollars in profits, and it may be because of their indiscriminate rate hikes.

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.

Difficult to Reach Customer Service
You can rarely reach a human unless you’re signing up for insurance. After that, it’s all voicemail with no follow-up on your phone calls.

Allstate Taking Seniors Broke

Until the past year or so, I've had a good experience with them. Now I can't afford the rate.
Rates have increased every term, I get it. But recently the rate has me shopping around for another insurance company. I put an email in letting them know I received a quote that is much more affordable. I asked if there was anything they could offer. I never got a response.

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.

They will continue to increase your insurance rates without notice, and you won't know until the next payment is due.

Bait & Switch - Brought Us In Low and Then Raised the Rates by $40/Month

Don't use them. Every year my policy goes up at least $200, and they say it's because my area has a lot of accidents. It was the same way with my homeowner policy. Insurance used to be that if you had no accidents or claims, the amount you paid would go down. I believe the agents are overcharging people. As soon as I find another car insurance policy, I will be leaving them, just like my homeowner policy. I didn't renew it and saved $600 a year with my new policy for the same coverage. My deductible is only $1,000, whereas at Allstate it was $5,000.

Bad Representation
Poor coverage. They covered $5,000 out of $42,000 for the foundation (not my fault). They were willing to insure me, but when I used it (I was at fault), they didn't offer me important coverage. When I needed coverage, it was not included in the policy.

It seems like at Allstate, as with many insurance companies, they raise the rates every year even if you don’t have any issues. State Farm is 40% cheaper.

The underwriting staff is not adequately trained. They cannot be challenged on any issue. This is wrong as they, by their own definition, are not experts on any topic. Our underwriter for our home policy was requiring us to affirm the manufacturing company's product standards and warranty. She was also insisting that upgraded roof shingles were a different product from what was originally placed on the roof. After over 20 years, common sense dictates that a product will have some changes. One would also expect the product to be enhanced but still a shingle. Our agent was great. She offered to go above and beyond on several issues.

Too Costly
They told me I would save money because I drive less than 50 miles per day. However, checking my last 6 months' payment, it cost me more than $1600. Checking with Progressive, it will cost just around $600 for 6 months' coverage.

Me and Allstate
The big negative is related to a possible roof damage claim, not so much that they did not pay anything at all, but the rudeness and discourtesy of the final adjuster who handled the claim. He was downright disrespectful toward me, and I was insulted by his manner. I switched from another company due to their slapping me with a $2000 increase for auto coverage on last year's renewal with no claims or violations, stating that they were allowed to do that due to my age. I hated to part ways but was not going to accept the increase. As for vehicle insurance, Allstate has filled that need.

High rates, mediocre service
A theft claim for antique bicycles led to nearly a full year of back-and-forth claims handling with Allstate, often with new handlers. The claim was often referred to other specialists for review who had to start over from scratch. Their rates do not reflect the level of service.
