Too Expensive
Way too expensive just because we live in Texas. Shop around. There are a lot of less expensive insurance companies. I ended up canceling Allstate and going with Progressive for a better price.

Been with them for years, likely to keep
Unless you ask or tell them that you’re driving minimal miles, the agent will never offer the per day/mile rate!

Request for Current Coverage
I called to have a copy of my current policy sent to a new auto lender, and it was handled very professionally.

Not satisfied
Their prices have become unreachable, and the service at the office I use has declined significantly. The office personnel don't speak English very well, so I rarely contact them for anything.

Happy with their rates the past two years.
One Allstate office may have a better rate than another in the next town over. I discovered this fact, so now I check several local Allstate offices for the best results. This surprised me because I thought their rates would all be the same.

Excellent customer service. I am able to call anytime and speak with a knowledgeable person who answers any concern in a friendly, professional manner. Cheapest rate I have found, though I still feel it should be less as I only drive less than 2500 miles per year.

When you have a claim, it should be paid according to the cost to repair the damage. No BS. Claim adjusters are not there to assist you; they're there to scam you out of money for the actual repair cost.

It's better with Allstate
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.

49 Years with No Problems
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.

Allstate: Good for Middle-Aged Customers
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.

Proceed with Caution
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.

Allstate is getting too expensive
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!

Awesome Agents
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.

SCAM
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.

Great Experience but Time to Move On
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.

Allstate - What Else Is There to Say?
The discounts don't work, and I'm paying way too much for what little I'm getting.

All-State loves your money.
Be prepared to overpay. They show absolutely no customer loyalty. I have both auto and homeowners insurance, and they both just keep going up.

I sold a vehicle and dropped coverage on that vehicle. Instead of reducing my premium, they increased my premium.

My particular agent provided good customer service. However, I received a letter of non-renewal due to 11 towing claims over a period of 3 years. I was never informed that Allstate had a limit on roadside assistance. Why do I pay for insurance if not to have these emergency services covered whenever I need them? I'm not sure who made the mistake here of not informing me about these limitations.

Poor Customer Service When You Need Your Insurance Company the Most
Claims have been very poor. A recent claim had a 30-day car rental, but it took almost 25 days before the car was taken to the repair shop. I had to constantly call for updates on the claim. The car was in another state, and they lost the license plate. Three months after the accident, I'm still having to pursue reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses and the deductible. For the cost of the insurance, I would expect better service.

Horrible
I've been with Allstate for years, and they canceled my auto insurance after not informing me that my bill went up an extra forty bucks. They never lower your rate; it only continues to get higher. Very disappointed in their service.

Unexpected Charges with Mile-Wise
I have Mile-Wise because I drive less than 50 miles a week. For 2 months, I never drove because I was sick. I thought my bill would be lower, but I found out they charge me $100 per month anyway. They never told me this when I got the policy. I pay over $1,200 a year. I'm looking for a new policy.

Poor decision not to have clients' backs
They did not pursue subrogation after I was T-boned by an uninsured driver. The registered owner was insured, but they claimed they had sold the car to the driver, even though the driver never legally changed the title. I had hoped Allstate would fight for their client and not accept that the car was sold. The owner should have been responsible since they didn’t get the title out of their name.

Gloria's Check on Car and House Insurance

Looking for another insurance company.
I've only been with Allstate for 2 years. The agent's office I'm with is okay. They are courteous, polite, and professional. The rates are in line with most major insurance companies. However, they go up every year even though we have no claims or tickets. I watched their CEO in a congressional hearing and did not like the things I learned about how they treat customers who had claims from Hurricane Helene.

Non-payment of Reimbursement Transfer
It started out great, but I moved to transfer a vehicle insurance to another state and they failed to reimburse me my payment or to pay the sister Allstate company so I can continue my insurance with them. Now I have a car in Nevada with Allstate and my car in the state of Georgia has no insurance.

Allstate is self-serving!
We were displaced from our home during Hurricane Helene. We stayed at a rental until June 30th. Our home is still not fixed. They wanted to just patch my roof that clearly warranted a full replacement. They wanted me to sign a waiver of liability, and I refused because Allstate refused to sign it. In my family's best interests, I had them replace the roof with the money they gave me for the roof inside and belongings. They now refuse to consider a supplement, and they doubled my premium from roughly $3,000 to $6,000, for which they've already been paid. I'm just disgusted with the whole mess.

Proud Driver
I've been with Allstate since 1978. All they've done is take my money. I've had one accident (a small hit) in all that time, and all they do is keep increasing my insurance. You'd think they would give something back to me. I've been driving since I was twelve, and that is the only accident back in 2006 on a wet road mixed with oil, due to no rain for months, then a drizzle one day. I am a senior now, a very careful driver with a 2023 Camry, two years old, with almost 5k miles. I seldom go anywhere. Thanks.

Russellville Arkansas Allstate Experience
There was zero interaction from the agent after she took over my policy. She never looked for discounts and always answered with, "My insurance went up also," or "At least it didn’t increase this year." When I rated her service with Allstate Surveys, she replied negatively and suggested I look for another agent. I’m now looking for another agent.

Initial price for coverage was good, but on renewal, the price increased by about $300. I need a better price.

Happy but
The owner, Josh, is very nice. He spends enough time with me every time we talk, and he's always concerned, which is nice. But the original price when I transferred to him six months ago was $138. I really wasn’t happy with it, but I was tired of shopping around and tired of getting insurance calls every day, so I went with it. Now it’s time for my renewal, and it went up to $189. I guess I’m back to shopping again. I just don’t understand it. I’m 73, I barely go anywhere, and I haven’t had an accident that was my fault in a long time.

Loyalty Out the Window
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.
