Allstate Auto Insurance Reviews

ALLSTATE should not even be allowed to be a useable company anymore. TERRIBLE! They are all clueless, and you call ten times to get one thing done when each person you talk to says "it's all taken care of" just to find out they DID NOTHING! I HATE this company with a deep passion, it is ridiculous how they run. Started with them and my prices kept going up, then they always had some stupid policy rate saver they had me signed up for (which they told me nothing about just told me my price) and then it'd go up three months later and they said "well you had this discount on there and never signed up for the app or online" well the fact that I didn't know I had this discount on there and I had to follow up to keep it - how could I?! And then, "oh, well, it's too late, it's gone, up 30plus dollars a month". Then after a separation, they took 4 months to get my car and his car separated in policies, I got double charged for my car and his, and then they let him call in, change my address and email, and ADD himself to my policy! CRAZY! Then I got into a car accident, two cars hit me, they were at fault and it took claims a week, A WEEK, to get in contact with me and I had a MINOR IN THE CAR! They don't care at all, I called my agent 6 times to tell him I couldn't get ahold of anyone in claims department and he never returned my call EVER. WHAT THE HELL AM I PAYING YOU FOR?! So my accident was 9/2/17 today it is November 22, 2017 and I just got my estimate over their stupid app QUICKPHOTOS and it said not over my deductible, so I have to pay it all! I'M THE ONE WHO GOT HIT, WHEN DOES THE PERSON WHO GOT HIT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING! AND TWO MONTHS LATER?! Both front and back bumper are popped off and my Driver side door won't open. I have to call through and they give no area to write comments on their app for their estimate, so they have no idea that the bumper clips are broken and the door won't open and my CLAIMS IDIOT DIDN'T EVEN NOTE IT. She takes forever to call back, knows nothing, and can't get anything done. Thanks for never ever calling me back. I can't wait till my car is fixed so I can kick this sorry excuse for a company to the curb. Must have "qualifications: incompetent, lazy, awful attitude" on their applications because that's how they are! Spare it, if it seems cheaper upfront - it won't be, they won't be there for you and your price will go up monthly with NO EXPLANATIONS. Stay clear of this.

Words are just not enough to explain the horrible mistreatment and bullying I got from this company not to mention they have screwed my record up and refuse to do anything about it. It all started when one day I woke up to go downstairs to my garage and notice that my car was not at its parking spot. I called building security and management they could not find out what had happened the cameras were pointing in the other directions and someone had apparently stolen my car. I then proceeded to call the police and made a theft report with them, they advised to call my insurance company and see if they would compensate me for my losses. Upon making the call to my insurance company they first quietly asked me all the information about the vehicle and my personal information; as we got close to the end of our call (nearly after 30 minutes) the agent tells me that sorry we cannot cover you for theft because you only had liability insurance on the vehicle. (It took her 30 minutes to realize that). Anyways what's gone is gone I swallowed the harsh pill and went about my business and took over my wife's vehicle to go to work and back as she was on maternity leave. 2 weeks later I receive a letter from the insurance company stating that they will be cancelling my policy because of misrepresentation. I called the office and could not get a hold of anyone for a week, finally fed up I show up at their office and speak to their manager, who tells me the misrepresentation is for the fact that I had told them my wife lives in the states (Lying to my face). When I told them this is a lie my wife just delivered our first baby here in Canada and that we are happily married and living together ever since we got married. They changed their story and said we apologize for the mistake and we will issue this letter to you that states there was no misrepresentation so long as you give us an email that states you the insured requested the cancellation. Believing their lies we did just that wrote them an email stating to cancel our insurance, and that's the last I spoke to the manager. She apparently went on a "life long" vacation and handed the file back to the same agent who had put the misrepresentation on my file in the first place. Here is where I stand. I have a cancellation on my file and 1 misrepresentation. I have a letter from them stating the cancellation was not for misrepresentation but at the clients own request. No other insurance company will cover me. Oh, wait it is not done yet. So, I lost my car from theft and now the place where my wife leased her car from is saying they are going to take the vehicle back because it is currently uninsured and they cannot let us keep it. So now I have no vehicle and I have to take a bus to work and back. Its only been a week and I'm seriously considering taking them to court. I have never been to court and neither do I have a good job to afford a good lawyer. I'm completely at a loss and don't know what to do. I have been driving for 15 years now I have no accident on my file no tickets and I cannot find insurance... If you are thinking about Allstate, well, I don't know what to tell you. I can tell you to run away far away from this company. If anyone can give me a tip as to how to deal with this situation I would really appreciate it very much.

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.

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

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!

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?

"You are in Good Hands with Allstate...” What A BIG JOKE!! My truck had a hit-and-run done to it and, because I let my son drive it in the past, they have declared my policies on all three on my vehicles void and refused to pay for damages. The adjuster came to my house and treated my wife and I like criminals. Accusing us of lying and trying to fraud the company. I have been waiting for six weeks for a reply and finally got one. I have paying insurance premiums for 35 years with very minimal claims and this is the way you get treated. All insurance companies pretend they are your friend but I am telling you to never trust an agent, adjuster or other employee of the company. Avoid Allstate Insurance because you are not in good hands…

Based on my experience with this company as a victim of a car accident with an allstate policy holder, I will never ever recommend this company to anyone.I was not at all at fault for this accident, a lady ran the red light and hit my car. They want to cover only 80 % of the damage and on top, I'm stuck with the rental car expenses.
