It's better than Insuify or whatever you call yourselves. You quoted me a price that's $200 more than what I currently pay.

Poor Accident Claim Team
The segregation department lacks knowledge and the proper procedure for handling accident cases. They mailed important documents to the wrong postal department, not to mention unregistered. My car was damaged at my place of residence while parked in the parking lot since January 27, and until now, I can't get back the $1000.00 I paid to get it out of the repair shop. I also requested the depreciation value for my car. This negligence was done by a government postal service. Why can't I get my money back? I pay a lot for insurance. Your claim department staff is very inefficient and lacks the skills needed to serve customers. Please get me my money back before I seek further help in doing so. This is the government, it's not a regular insurance company. There should not be any issues paying out the deductible. Why hasn't your insurance lawyer sent a demand yet?

Great Insurance, Too Expensive
I'm paying by the mile, and it costs me $196.00 for 1 month to 6 weeks. This is with no accidents, tickets, etc. So, I would advise my friends to shop around.

Don't Give Up So Easily on Your Client
Allstate is a good company. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't get a better quote for my 2011 Toyota Camry. I'm currently paying $156 per month, which I believe is too expensive. Particularly when I only drive it less than 10 miles every Saturday since October 2024. They were only willing to offer me a $5 discount and increase my deductible. I wasn't happy with that, so I switched.

Is This Offer Trustworthy?
It seems that all insurance premiums have gone up. However, there are a few that are lower. So, do they offer comparable coverage, or do you have to hire an attorney to read the fine print?

Wayne's Quote
It was a mediocre experience. I was misled on the home insurance quote. The corporate headquarters admitted that their representative made a mistake. She was rude and, despite having it in writing, she refused to honor my quote. The discrepancy was about $100. Signed, Wayne Hurteau.

Satisfied & Pleased with Allstate
I've saved a lot of money with Allstate's Milewise policy. I've shopped around with other companies for comparison and none of them were able to match, let alone beat, the premium I'm paying for the coverage I'm getting.

Don't Be Fooled
Shop around, you can do better. They'll want to take out their money a week early. They'll send you a message a day before, saying it's due on the 9th when you know that it's not due until the 25th.

The good drivers pay for everyone
I've been with Allstate since 1977. I have no traffic violations and have made only 2 claims due to acts of nature and getting hit from the back. Despite having good credit, I believe I should receive a better discount. However, I'm told it's the fault of the state of NJ.

Highly Recommend Allstate!
I would definitely recommend Allstate. My agent has been there for me when I moved and was required to have rental insurance. He made sure they received a copy every year. They are a bit pricey but provide good coverage and once you reach a certain level, the deductible is waived.

Driving Record Impeccable for Years, Why So High?
The cost is extremely high for the car I have. No discounts could offer enough coverage for the 2024 Kia I am financing. It's been a struggle to pay my other bills due to the cost being so high and my income being so limited.

Do Not Get Insurance with Allstate
They did not investigate my accident claim and declared me at fault. I suspect it was a strategy to increase my insurance. The other car cut in front of me in freezing rain and fishtailed.

Inaccurate Information about Driveway Wise Trips
They're terrible. I used their service for six months at a certain rate. Then, they persuaded me to use the Driveway Wise feature to get a discount. However, they used it against me and increased my rates by $600 for the next six months. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Too Much Money
I'm not happy with the cost of my policy! One minute, my policy is between $250, and now it's $556 a month. This is unacceptable! It's just too much money for multiple cars, a 2015 Honda Accord and a 1997 Ford Ranger that is paid for. I really don't understand why this insurance is so expensive!

Insurance Tip
It's just impossible to talk to a human being. The new policy is mailed with no explanation. I'm still waiting on my policy for this past year. The handling of claims was non-existent. The adjuster contacted me once and then ignored me. When I could speak to her, she had to go talk to someone down the hall. It took from March to the end of September to finish the claim.

Unpleasant experience with Allstate
I had an unfortunate experience with Allstate. The only time I had a claim was due to a minor accident in a parking lot. However, the agent accused me of being under the influence of drugs, which was not true. I work for the government and any drug use would result in immediate dismissal. Last year, I made an electronic payment from my bank, which I can prove with my bank statement. Yet, the agent accused me of non-payment and having bounced checks in the past, which never happened. He didn't make any effort to investigate and cut off my insurance, resulting in a $493 penalty. The agent who handles my home insurance helped me sort things out. Despite transferring all my paperwork to her twice, I found out this year that the original agent was still in charge of my account. I had to switch again. They still deducted a $1300+ payment (for 6 months) from my checking account, and I'm unsure how long it will take to get that back.

Every time I asked a question about a leak in the ceiling during a rainstorm, the response was that it's a maintenance problem. That was the response to any question I asked. I've asked three questions. I received notice that my home insurance increased by $350 without any advanced warning.

Disappointed with the Insurance Company
They removed my discount for direct withdrawal due to an unpaid payment, which wasn't my fault. Then, they increased my payments because of two accidents that weren't my fault. They refuse to return my phone calls or text messages.

Stay Away from Allstate
I've been with Allstate for 8 years. I was in an accident that wasn't my fault, but they assigned the blame to me. Now, I have to hire an attorney. I disputed their decision, but they aren't returning my calls. This is absolutely absurd. If I knew they were going to treat me like this, I would never have given them my business. I will always leave a negative review for them.

Allstate's Increasing Rates
I would have never switched to Allstate if I had known that every three months they were going to increase my monthly bill. This is despite the fact that I haven't had any at-fault accidents and I'm over 35 with no tickets or anything.

Unfair Prices Warrant Boycott
They overcharge their customers and appear greedy. No one should have to pay $400 a month to drive a Ford truck, especially if they have no tickets, points, or DWIs. It seems like a scam. I would rather park the car than pay that amount.

Me & Allstate
Unfortunately, I had many unpleasant mishaps with my car, most of which were not my fault. While Allstate handled claims pretty promptly, it came at an increasing cost. They even told me it would be cheaper to keep a totalled car on the policy with another vehicle to keep costs down!

Allstate is Unfair
They increased my insurance, and now I'm paying $4,000 a year. As a senior, I don't drive more than 25-50 miles a day, if even that much. I have no tickets, no DUIs, and about a year and a half ago, I was involved in an accident where another car hit me. This seems very unfair.

I wouldn't recommend going with Allstate unless you're prepared to fight for your contract to be fulfilled. You can pay for coverage, but if you need to use it, they might not be straightforward and may make you go through a lot of hoops to get service.

Overcharged at AllState
I was a loyal customer for 10 years with no claims. I never had an agent reach out to me, only automated messages. I researched and found that I was paying 200% more for my policies with Allstate than for the same coverage with other carriers. I promptly cancelled my policies.
Carmen
Verified Review
The policy keeps increasing in price for the same coverage. I've only used it once for a roof repair a couple of years ago. If I could, I would go without insurance. I find it unfair to pay so much for insurance that isn't used frequently. As for car insurance, I plan to go without it next year because it's too expensive for an older car, and I can barely afford liability coverage. The high cost of insurance even discourages me from buying a new car.

I was initially paying $105.00 per month for a 2004 Chevy Impala base model, which I consider to be a junk car. However, upon renewal, the rate increased to $117.00. Ideally, it should be going down, not up.
