Allstate has excellent customer service!
They provide excellent customer service and go the extra mile to find discounts. When I called my agent's office, I got a very nice, very knowledgeable young lady who helped me find a premium that fit my budget.

They claimed I was at fault in a fender bender. However, I was sitting still and the other car hit my front.

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?

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.

Bad Business Practices
They were great at first, but then they transferred me from a group policy to an individual one without informing me. This is bad business practice.

Cold and Indifferent Insurer
The initial rates were reasonable. However, when I notified them of my spouse's passing, my auto rate jumped by $210. Many other vendors allow a 'widower' status. Alstate effectively told me they couldn't help.

Not Feeling the 'Good Hands'
They are sticking to their original inspector's guess (from when I bought the house 3 years ago) that this house still has the original roof (28 years old). Google Earth Historical Imagery clearly shows that the roof was replaced 8 years ago. This means they will only cover my roof at 25% of the replacement cost, as opposed to the 76% that they should be covering it. They insist on seeing an invoice to prove that the work was done, which I have been unable to obtain from the previous owner. Why would I renew with a company that is proving they will not fully cover me, especially on the most likely part of the policy that I will need in the future?

Mishandling of My Insurance
Very bad! There was a payment that didn't go through and, through no fault of my own, the head of the agency took away my discount. Also, one person hit me from behind and another person hit and ran. My policy went from $182 to $199 a month!

Allstate Insurance Increases Insurance Payments Without Reason
I've noticed that they are constantly seeking approval to raise their insurance rates, and New Jersey seems to grant them this approval. Five years ago, when I bundled my auto and homeowners insurance, the total payments amounted to $1500. This year, my bundled yearly rate has soared to over $2200. In just five short years, my insurance has jumped by $700, despite having no claims, accidents, or driving tickets.

I was with Allstate for 8 years, but they kept raising my rate! It used to be below $153, then it increased to $153, then $163, and finally $190. I can't afford that. I have no accidents on my record, except for a hit and run incident where the person caused no damage to my car, only leaving a white powder that I dusted off. I informed my agent at Allstate, Jane, about this. Despite having no tickets and no damages, I couldn't afford their insurance prices. This month, I switched to Progressive. However, they required my daughter's signature on some documents, which I found unlawful as I'm the only policyholder. They also increased my insurance to $232. It feels like everyone is trying to take my money. Neither Allstate nor anyone else would fix my windshield, which would cost $1,000 because a homeless person damaged it. I'm struggling to find suitable insurance, especially since my car is financed. On top of that, I'm homeless because no one will rent an apartment to me due to my $1,300 in bills, despite earning $4,000 a month. It's frustrating that there seems to be a bias against people based on their credit scores.

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.

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.
