Allstate Auto Insurance Reviews

I had my truck stolen and Allstate tried using a loophole in their contract by saying that because my truck was rear-ended before and even though it was with my old insurance company and fixed they refused to cover my stolen truck because they said it had a prior damage history... WHAT A JOKE they are the worst and are worse crooks then who stole my truck.

Do not believe the ads that Allstate auto insurance is so great; cheaper than many others, yes... to start with. They say they won't cancel your insurance if you have a claim but I can tell you from personal experience that is false. I had a fender bender and they dropped me instantly. Lots of people think that's not a big deal, it is. When that happens and you go to the next company you're in for a surprise because once Allstate drops you, you have then been "denied insurance before" to your next company and you will either be denied insurance or you'll be classified as an ultra high risk insured and you'll pay through the nose. As an example, I paid 835 a year with Allstate. After they cancelled me, it cost me 2800 a year for 6 years after Allstate. Be very careful people.

I am writing to express my unfair treatment from your All State regarding an accident.
I was bought my car 4 months ago, i was involve in an accident which i was not at fault, my car ride off also i paid the insurance to cover the car and passengers and the concept of insurance is to cover the loss , I was expected to compensated by them ,but this treatment absolutely doesn't make sense for someone who is not at fault and paid the insurance without interruption. they screw me $4000.
Imagine without any fault you lost your car and needs to cover the gap from your own pocket

If you have an auto quote and request a quote for a replacement or additional vehicle, they will quote you from that day until your existing renewal date. They will not tell you this nor inform you of this in any way, shape, or form until your renewal comes due. You then find out that the quote was for 4 or 6 or whatever months and not for 12 months insurance as you had mistakenly assumed. Totally unethical! Furthermore, they charge you in full for the change immediately (before you catch on to their deception) and then take the new renewal amount from your bank on a date other than your regular withdrawal date. The entire scam is all legal, and very carefully worked out to essentially sell you product that you would never agree to having known the facts. They do this to clients that have been with them for 20 years. They simply have absolutely no long-term vision. Bucks right now is all they care about. Don't give a darn about their clients.

STAY AWAY!!!!
Forget this insurance even if they give you the best lowest quote because they wont serve you at the time you need them. I was with them a year and it was horrible. My agent was "Shideh" at Markham branch and whatever I consulted with her, she wrote down in my file and sent me an official notice letter few days after. This happened twice and I got shocked and furious. I found that they're not trying to advice you and they're not your agent but a spy to receive more information from you and use it against you. Remember!

Wow! now that I had a motor vehicle accident claim with Allstate I can understand why the review scale is so utterly low!
I have never in my life received such horrible customer service as I have from my insurance agency. My claims adjuster didn't follow up with the collision centre, I had to do it. On top of everything, I left many voice messages, sent e-mail for FOUR WEEKS asking if I can go ahead with getting my car fixed and I didn't get any reply's!!!! Not only is that unprofessional but right out rude!
I asked to speak to a different adjuster since I could not ever reach my adjuster when I would call, I requested to speak to the claims department manager. The adjuster told me that the manager is not in the office and that she would e-mail him to ask him to call me, took my phone number and everything. Two days went by, no call from Manager, I called him and he told me that he was never sent that message. The whole claims department is completely dysfunctional. I have never had such a horrible experience and to be treated so terribly. I plan to file a formal complaint due to the extent of which this situation became completely absurd. If you are looking around for insurance don't choose Allstate, I will walk away from them. The WORST!

Honestly whoever works for this company or is in charge at Allstate need to seriously improve on their customer service abilities. This company is a shame to humanity for their poor, disgusting and pathetic idiocy. Multiple times when trying to contact this company, we were told and promised a response. Three times, left in ignorance. The fourth time involved a nasty encounter with a man who honestly has zero manners and should be fired this instant. If anybody is considering this company, RUN AWAY IN FEAR. These people are bloodthirsty for money, and have absolute ZERO respect for anybody except themselves. You see those nice ratings? Probably paid to write those lies. This company should get a negative rating honestly because this is simply absurd. Very disappointed.

I have only been an Allstate customer for one year. Unfortuntely the car I had insured died on me 1 month after my renewal. I had informed Allstate that I was no longer driving that car and I was purchasing a new car and was given a new quote. Unfortunately that new quote was far too expensive for me to handle and they really had no explanation as to why it would be so much more money so I switched to a different company which saved me $120 per month. I spoke to a customer service rep who explained how to terminate a policy, she emailed me detailed instructions and I followed them. I also sent in written confirmation that no more monthly payments are to be withdrawn from my account. 10 days after that email was sent, a monthly payment (for a car that is six feet under!) was withdrawn from my account. I immediately called Allstate again, spoke to a different rep and he saw the mistake and told me a payment would be sent to me within 10 business days. 3 weeks later, still no payment I called back and spoke to the same agent, who then said it would 3 more weeks. His explanation was they do not yet know if the funds have cleared my account which I find to be the most ridiculous thing to ever hear. If I had not terminated my policy with them I highly doubt they need to wait 15 days after each withdrawl to see if funds are sufficient or not. I think it is very unfair that when they are given access to your account they can just withdraw whatever they want when they want. Even after having it all in writing!!!! The agents take their time in replying to your calls or concerns. I would stay as far away from this company as you can, there are much better companies to deal with than this. It really isn't even 1 star its more like -10.

Just don't even buy their product! G-d forbid you have to file a claim. I have never been treated so poorly in my whole life! I've had this insurance company for 22 years. Homeowners and auto policies. A recent wind storm damaged my classic car, so I file a claim because I can't even see out of the windshield. First I'm told just because I have insurance doesn't mean they have to fix it. What?! Then I'm called a liar because there is no way this was damaged the way I say it was. Wow, really? Just because you're a man, you think it's ok to bully a woman who is being completely honest with you about this claim. I own a classic car that I keep fully insured. So they don't want to repair it. Well, if you don't want to repair a classic car, then don't allow me to insure it. It's quite simple, I could go with another insurance company then and not have to deal with your treatment. The only other claim I filed was many years ago, and once again I was accused of lying about a break in to my home. They paid the claim (about 30% of it, that is), then continued to send me accusatory letters to be 'sure to let us know if these items magically appear'! Wow! I just can't even. If I treated people like that in my job, I would be fired immediately. But it's ok if you pay your money and don't ask for anything in return. Sounds a bit like a mafia, doesn't it?

Our story begins like most stories, we needed an insurance company to help us resolve our claim in a timely manner. I'm sure all insurance adjusters are very busy, we all are busy every day. Our fender bender took two months and counting to repair, pay the body shop and reimburse us for the rental car. Allstate paid the body shop, but has not called once to say "we have received the copy of the PAID invoice from your rental car company and we SEE that you correctly used our recommended daily rate, no added insurance and that we made the effort to follow up with the Allstate Adjuster who can't seem to find the time to review after 10 business days, much less call to update us". Allstate gets poor marks for customer service. They received daily updates from the body shop doing the work. Allstate has a relationship with Enterprise rental car using daily rates required by Allstate if you want reimbursement. They have paid the body shop so that means they approved the body shop timeline and the work is done. How is it they cannot find the time to review the car rental? The car was returned to Enterprise 14 days ago, paid receipts sent to Allstate. Crickets. Still, have not spoken to the adjuster... Insurance companies get bad reviews all the time. Let the buyer beware. This company does not have your best interest in mind when they talk to you.
