I Highly Recommend Allstate for Car Insurance
The representative is knowledgeable and very patient, explaining and reviewing the policy with me. They advised me thoroughly on what I needed in my policy. I am very satisfied with their service, which is why I have stayed with Allstate for the last 30 years.

Need a Major Discount
Overall, it's good. However, at my age, with no accidents or tickets, I would expect to be paying less. Instead, it seems to keep going up. A good driver shouldn't have to pay that much for insurance. It's time for a break for good driving habits.

Looking for Better Rates or Considering a Change
My agent is always available to answer my questions. However, I feel that I could get better rates. I have excellent credit, no tickets or violations, and I don't drive much.

Waking up from the Discount Insurance Groups
It's really nice to speak to a familiar person who knows the ins and outs of my account. I've been with discount insurance groups where you call a switchboard, and a person reads from a script, which is just frustrating. Allstate has been a refreshing wake-up experience.

Allstate Coverage
So far, so good.

Good for a While
I didn't have a claim while I was with Allstate. I thought they were pretty good until I received a $60 monthly payment increase. I gave them an opportunity to explain why, but after a 45-minute chat with three people, no one could explain the reason for the increase. So, I decided to look for another insurer.

Getting More Expensive
I have been with AllState for quite a while, but I believe their rates are getting a little higher than most of their competition. The service is good, but I believe I can get the same quality for cheaper with one of the other leading insurance providers.

Significant increase in house insurance, approximately $400.00
The service is great, but the price for auto insurance is a little high. The house insurance is very high, so I'm looking around as I'm on a fixed income.

Disappointment. The Price was Good
With the devices in the vehicle, the billing was erratic at times, even twice per month occasionally. There was a complete recap of rapid stops and fast driving, etc.

The price never decreases, only increases, and I haven't made a single claim
If you don't mind increasing payments from one month to the next, then they might be a good fit for you.

Minimal Interaction with Customer Service

Don't Call Allstate!
I can't get hold of anyone to ask a question. I was told by the agent that I could call anytime with questions. What a lie!

Keep Shopping
Don't settle just yet! They start you off with a decent price, but don't get used to it. Within a year, the prices are likely to increase. Customer service is primarily non-native English speakers, so you might struggle to understand their responses to your questions.

Every renewal, the rates increased exponentially! I called the agent, but very little was done to resolve the overages, even after being a good customer for over 5 years.

Will Allstate Drop Insurance Rates for Seniors?
I need a lower cost. Since the state is lowering the cost for drivers over 55, I qualify and am a good driver.

Allstate vs. My Wallet
Allstate's premiums are higher than some of their competitors. Granted, I've been with this insurer for more than 30 years. Their claims response is great. I just can't afford what I am being charged for a car that is 11 years old.

Nightmare on Milton Ave
I had one claim in 50 years and it was handled extremely poorly. They hired contractors without my approval who damaged my house. I had to pay an additional $39,000 out of pocket and then they dropped me since I had a second small claim.

The cost is too high for someone at 60 years old with no points and violations.

Buyer Beware
My first two years with this insurance carrier were great in terms of premium and customer service. However, when we added a third driver and our second child got their license, the premium became very high. I informed the agent that we would need to switch to monthly payments instead of paying in full, but my request was not followed. This disregard for my wishes negatively impacted my financial situation.

The premiums consistently increased every 6 months. They even eliminated the Drive Wise credit, leaving no credit. It seems they don't really value their good customers. This could be perceived as corporate greed at its peak.

It just seems to be status quo. Nothing really special stood out, but nothing glaringly negative either. I found better options, and it wasn't that hard.

Currently, Not Very Pleased
I had an accident, which was entirely my fault. However, I received no assistance in obtaining any cash value for my vehicle.

Avoid Allstate
Consider other options. Allstate claims they lost money in NJ and are doubling rates while not writing new NJ auto policies. They don't seem to value loyalty. I was essentially told, 'tough luck'. I guess with everyone leaving Allstate, they will lose even more money.

Customer
I'm not satisfied with my brokerage. When I requested a change, the company denied it. I prefer dealing with a local brokerage, not someone I can't see or know, or understand their office hours. Additionally, there's a record on my daughter's driving history that I'm trying to remove. This process is taking too long, allowing the company to charge me an extra rate. Due to the poor service, I plan to leave this company.

Exorbitant Premiums and Poor Coverage
The premiums are skyrocketing with terrible coverage. If you need to make a claim, good luck. They offered to repair only three shingles after extensive storm damage, and it took them six months. Every contractor I've spoken to says they are the worst.

Auto Insurance is Generic
They offer nothing special to stand out from the competition. I switched from State Farm because it was worse.

Sneaky
At first, they were great. However, when I went to make a claim due to a hurricane, I got the shock of my life! They denied my claim for food that went bad because we were without power for over a week. They also informed me that I have a $2500.00 deductible. I got this policy for my home and just assumed that they were matching the numbers from my previous company, which had only a $500.00 deductible.

Seems Good at First, But You Will Pay More Over Time

You're in Bad Hands
They may cancel your policy without a clear reason, ignore requests to drop full coverage on a vehicle, and continue to charge you. They might also make repeated errors on your escrow account, causing your payment to increase to cover the shortfall.

Overpriced Car Insurance
I believe it's too expensive for my 15-year-old vehicle.
Randy
Verified Review
As usual, pricing keeps increasing without any explanation. I'm afraid to file a claim, as that gives Allstate the green light to increase rates again. Frankly, I completely dislike the insurance industry and their agents. We need some serious, honest competition in this industry.

No one there can provide satisfactory answers to my questions about the Drivewise discount. Considering the rates and the fact that I've never made a claim on my policies, you would think they would at least show some appreciation.

Rates More Than Doubled
Very poor! We have a clean and good driving record and have been loyal customers. However, after buying a newer car, our rates more than doubled. I am now seeking coverage elsewhere and would never recommend this company.

Premium Prices
Honestly, I don't know what to say about the experience other than it's mediocre. I left State Farm due to overpriced coverage and now I'm experiencing the same thing with my premium at Allstate. Let me add, State Farm is trying to convince me to come back as a customer because they are offering me a lower rate.
