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

Easy to deal with.

With Allstate, my policy is lower with full coverage on my Charger than without it. With my Jeep also, the total premium is less than what I've been quoted elsewhere.

It's too expensive.

Excellent coverage; somewhat pricey.

Too expensive for a driver with a history like mine.

Excellent, but I was with Daryl for 18 months and switched for a cheaper price. Dairyland was also an excellent company.

The only thing I can say about Allstate in the 49 years I've been with them is that I've never had a problem. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. Like they say, "You're in good hands." I'm still here, my wife is still here, and we're still with Allstate.

Okay. It helps if you know something about insurance; that way, you can get the full explanation. Ask plenty of questions so you can know exactly what your policy covers and how you will be billed.

I’ve been with Allstate since 2001 and my experience has always been great. Very fair insurance company for both home and auto.

I think they have good customer service, and they seem to process claims quickly, but they are getting too expensive and they didn't fight for coverage when my husband got hit by an uninsured driver.

Good experience overall, but car insurance is too expensive for a 25-year-old car.

Very good. Drivewise is good. Communication is excellent. Customer service is good.

They offer everything you need easily and conveniently with no hassle.

I am not sure I would recommend Allstate to anyone at this time. Although their bundles are still better than those offered by many of their competitors, they raise their auto premiums by huge margins every premium cycle under the guise that there are a lot of claims filed by drivers in Georgia. Although that is true, it does not justify the 30% to 35% premium increases I have seen in the last year alone. I suspect the four accidents I have had since March 21, 2024. Although I was absolved of fault by the police reports in as many as three of them, my six-monthly premiums jumped from $870 before March 21, 2024, to $1,395 in the most recent renewal. That is a whopping 60% increase in a single year!

I never had to file a claim, so I don't know how that works. However, I have needed to make late payments, and my guy Lyle is awesome and very understanding. The one thing that is confusing is the safe driver's discount. My first month, I saved like $166, and it was applied to my bill, which I love. Then, like 3 months went by with no savings, and I know I didn't change my driving habits. Then another time, I saved over $100. But otherwise, it's a great company. They actually email back the same day or the next day.

Great company. Easy to do business with. They love your premiums. Once you become a number with any insurance company, you're part of their revenue stream. Which is to say you're there for no other reason than to generate revenue. NOT MAKE A CLAIM: GOD FORBID YOUR WINDSHIELD CRACKS... They will hold that against you and want/take every cent back, and guess what? After they get the money back, they will keep your rates nice and high so they get even more money from you. Insurance is the biggest SCAM going, and politicians allow them to reach into our pockets and reap enormous rewards in profits. Other than that, Allstate is a fine company.

Overall, customer service has been excellent, but the cost is high! There’s nothing mediocre with Allstate! Their customer service has always been exceptional and great.

I’ve had a great experience with Allstate. Unfortunately, for the second time, my rates have gone up without notification as to why. I haven’t had any kind of infraction on my license in the last 5 years.

They changed the quoted price after the first payment. I'm still not sure why it was raised; the expectation was confusing.

Good, but too expensive.

Allstate is really good in all aspects but just a little expensive.

The agent is very responsive. The policy is fair but not great.

Allstate is a good company to cover your insurance needs, but the rates keep rising.

Allstate is the most reasonable I can find.

A lot better than any other insurance I have ever had.

Allstate doesn't give the best rates, but the agents are customer-friendly and knowledgeable.

Initially getting started, they made it seem as if I was "home" and would not need to ever look anywhere else for insurance; plus customer service was nice. Then, I was asked to download the app, which I now know means that all communications have been averted and any and all questions will be using the app.

Allstate is a great company, but the rates keep increasing every year. I guess this happens with every insurance company. Insuring in NY is expensive.

I have never been in favor of my rates increasing when I have no claims.

Good service, but like all insurance companies, they never drop rates.

Not bad, but it was too expensive for me.

I really like Allstate. They offer good coverage and ease of use, especially with their app. However, my policy keeps increasing each time I renew, and it has reached a point where I am not happy paying this much for the same coverage.

The experience with the car insurance was okay, not exceptional but satisfactory.

It was easy. I gave them money every 6 months. I never got in an accident or ticket for 10 years, but prices just keep going up. I don't drive much either.

All good. Premiums are high, but all insurers' premiums are high. I will keep them for my auto and home insurance.

Allstate is a good company. I just need to find something cheaper. I live on a very strict budget and need to find something more affordable.

Excellent company. Competitive pricing, great customer service, fast claim handling, and great supplemental services. I recommend Allstate when choosing auto insurance!

My experience with Allstate was great. They are very caring, professional, and helpful.

So far, good.

Insurance coverage and their office were fine, but the cost of insurance increases a lot each year. I have been driving for 60 years with 3 claims and have to shop around for coverage I can afford.

Overall excellent. They made a mistake once and won't reimburse. Rates have gone up even after dropping one vehicle.

Good company.

For our needs, it is excellent. They are very customer-oriented. Other people's needs may vary, so it depends on each case, but I always believe you get what you pay for in most cases.

I've been with them for over 30 years and have been very satisfied with their service.

Haven’t had any issues, just shop for rates with other companies when we are about to reach our renewal deadline.

I have filed no claims on my older, low mileage car, yet the premium remains the same. This might be average practice for auto insurance. I'm just shopping around.

My agent is excellent; I never have any problems with her. She gets things done fast and on point. The only problem I have is with roadside service. I have to pay out-of-pocket and then get reimbursed, which is not good for me because I usually don’t have the money in my pocket to do it. That’s why I carry insurance.

I have been with the same agent (who owns the agency) for over 30 years, and the service and recommendations are excellent.

I was searching for a new policy, and they were the best that I found that day. They have been great.

Great company.

It's great. However, the discounts should be higher for good drivers who are 65 years old.

First, check the pricing strategy.

My only complaints with ALLSTATE are that they are too expensive and back in the 70's, I had a problem when they would not cover a business claim I had after a tornado in PA.

Allstate is a great company with dedicated agents to assist clients.

The agents are fine, but the prices are too high.

I have nothing bad to report except that the insurance rates could be lower. Thank you.

Straight to the point, no problems, great agents.

In South Carolina, rates should be cheaper for those with no DWI, no tickets, and no accidents, especially for seniors. Why don't we have cheaper rates?

The price continues to increase.

The service is great, but the auto premium is high if you bundle services.

I've been with Allstate since 1977 and have had the same agent all these years. I have an excellent driving record and bundle my home insurance as well. Lately, my premium went through the roof, and I was told it's because I live in NJ. I've been forced to seek another insurance company.

Dissatisfied; my partner and I have excellent histories, and Allstate will not relent on the monthly premiums.

Not particularly well, based on the recent auto accident where I was hit from behind. Allstate stepped in to represent me against State Farm, the insurer of the individual who demolished my vehicle by rear-ending me. I lost approximately $3,500 on the value of my car, which I needed to replace it with one in the same condition.

Shop around really well when you go to cancel. Your agent will not take your call. I had to call, send texts, and send a letter just to cancel.

The first 6 months my premium was raised twice. Every time I renewed, they raised it. That's why I left Allstate.

They keep increasing the cost of auto insurance payments.

My agent was nice, but other than that, I found out I couldn’t pay my policy with a money order. I no longer had a bank card or credit card, so that was the only means I could pay for my insurance. They didn’t accept the money order. A lady from Allstate told me to get somebody to pay it with their card, and I could give them the money order. I told her I don’t have the means to do all that extra stuff. Either they take the payment, or we just go to court. That’s what I told her. I’m a single parent, and I live paycheck to paycheck.

Allstate increased my rates threefold without any notice. I'm a senior citizen and I can't afford this any longer. I had trusted Allstate, but not anymore. This is for my car and my friend's home.

Customer service was exceptionally good, but the auto policy was expensive!

Regardless of how long or how many times you have been with Allstate, they're all about themselves. I thought as I got older and drove less, my insurance would go down, but that's not the case.

My renewal notice reported fictitious estimated miles driven per year. They claim this is based on information from oil changes and registration. The numbers were completely wrong, so I have to send pictures of my mileage from my vehicles. Now I have to wait seven days for them to correct it.

I would shop around for a lower rate. Allstate is very expensive.

Twice as expensive for less coverage.

Good at first, but the price keeps going up.

My policy went up four months after I signed with Allstate. It's just too much for my car and driving record.

They are very expensive and they don't work well with their clients.

It seemed like I was getting a great deal at first, but then they came back and charged me more money 3 months later. Then my insurance went up! I went to another company and they cut my cost literally in half.

I didn’t receive notifications when my policy lapsed. I had my policy on auto-pay through a credit card. The card expired, and I didn’t know until I checked my credit card website to pay the bill. If the agency had been open the day I caught it, I could have saved my policy. The woman I spoke to was very rude. Moral of the story: no auto-pay for me. I’ll stick to the good old days and speak to a human. GEICO was a better and cheaper company than Allstate; I should have never switched. I realize it was my fault for the lapse, but I am 46 years old, and it was the first time I ever let a policy lapse. I work 12-16 hour days, and my kids are in all sorts of sports, so I am busy on my days off. Notifications help. Allstate isn’t very good with reminders. I paid more with Allstate than with GEICO, but at least GEICO sends a reminder via text when your policy is due and when it will be taken out.

Review the written policy thoroughly and be aware of policy updates that may reduce your coverage.

I haven't had any claims to evaluate their service, but my rates keep going up even with bundling.

I would tell them to try to qualify for all discounts available. I would also tell them that no matter how good your driving record is, All-State will find a way to raise your premiums.

They are not good for people who have expensive vehicles. The price increases are insane!

Too expensive and they really don’t offer a discount for multiple vehicles.

Britton Bertram, who heads up Allstate, refuses to return phone calls and emails. Also, he took away my direct withdrawal discount because a payment was missed through no fault of my own. They also raised my rates because of two accidents where I was hit from behind and a hit and run.

Their rates are high. I've never had a claim, so I can't comment on that.

I have a 9-year-old car, and the insurance seems very expensive for an 85-year-old man. It's over $1600 for a year.

Very high priced. No tickets, no accidents, senior citizen with homeowners insurance. Extremely overpriced.

Rates start low, then they raise them 20-25% each year after.

It was okay in the beginning. For the first 6 months, I started at $86 a month, then it went up to $106, and now it's going up to $120. I have not had any accidents or tickets, and I'm just told that prices are going up everywhere.

Not the same Allstate. They will increase your bill every 3 months and won't even change your payment date so that you will not be late.

The service is okay but expensive. I wish they would write car policies for 12 months and also take into consideration the driving habits of the vehicle owners, as I really don’t drive that much.

Raising my fee by $60 a month with no explanation is not acceptable.

I was notified through mail after the renewal date, and they withdrew over $1,000, saying they couldn't do anything to help. There was no help on a comprehensive claim. I had to go into the office myself because my claim was closed out as completed. Their recommended shop didn't order my parts and forgot about me. I paid for coverages, including glass, and they didn't cover the approved items. They paid my claim out for a little over half of the actual damages.

Prices too high.

With Allstate for over 20 years, never had a big claim. Only two minor fender benders. No medical, no property damage, no DUI, no tickets. And my rates still went up with no mercy.

I'm not happy. I have yet to have a personal conversation with my 'agent'.

I had a good agent until he moved on to another company. The new agent doesn't seem interested in helping you save money or in retaining you as a customer.

They take advantage of the situation and do not work with the client. The road service is horrific. They damaged my truck and gave me the runaround for 2 weeks. Then, they told me to email them. Wow.

Like many insurance companies, they offer a good price at the start but significantly increase it when it's time to renew.

The service was great, but the rates were going through the roof!

There is no discount for seniors or retirees.

Excellent service.

They're good, but they keep raising the price.

It's very expensive. There are no discounts for seniors, even if you only drive 5 miles a week.

Way too expensive.

The price just keeps going up. We have not filed any claims in about 15 years. Our homeowners insurance has doubled in the last 3 years.

There needs to be a dedicated agent for the customer, not just a secretary to answer the phone.

It's hard to reach a person. When you finally get through to customer service, they tell you that you need to speak to an independent individual that you have never even engaged with before.

It's way too expensive. They raised my rates without any notification.

Allstate should not allow a no-fault accident to be on record. It's their responsibility to ensure the fault of the accident is properly registered!

At first, they offer low prices but with high deductibles.

They are hard to contact and expensive.

I started a new policy with them and within three months, I was dropped. They claimed my information was incorrect and provided no other explanation except that they were dropping me. I subsequently switched to Geico.

An okay rate, but adjustment is needed.

The auto insurance rates are extremely high despite having no tickets or accidents. It seems like there are arbitrary increases just to boost their profits. Go figure?

It's too expensive, which is why I'm switching.

The prices just keep increasing.

They bait you in with a low price, only to raise it without any accidents.

It was okay, just got expensive.

They slowly increased my rate every month.
