Don't be fooled by their clever tv commercials -- these guys have no idea what they are doing! My commercial vehicle was parked on the street (none of my employees were in the vehicle), when Allstate's insured drove into the back of the parked F-350 Supercrew Dually Flatbed 1-ton truck. The damage was severe. Bent flatbed. Bent leaf spring. Torqued rear axle. The truck should have been totaled. Yet, Allstate elected to repair it. At the same time, Allstate elected NOT to provide my company with a similar work vehicle -- they wanted us to get our work done with a F-150 1/4 ton pickup truck. Then, Allstate sent my truck to a repair shop that DOES NOT REPAIR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES! (Allstate's delay #1) Then, Allstate allowed me to chose a Ford Dealership to repair my vehicle -- but due to COVID they could not even look at my vehicle for an estimate for a week! (Allstate's delay #2) Allstate did not allow my company a rental vehicle until 6 days after the accident! We had an entire crew with no way to perform their work for an entire week! (Guess what Allstate? There is a lawsuit coming!) So, Allstate gives us the rental on Friday, and on Monday (one business day later) Allstate wants the vehicle back! So I spend more time waiting on hold for some random agent to talk to -- no agent was ever assigned to my claim! I calculate I have lost 10 hours of work waiting on hold alone! (Guess what Allstate? There is a lawsuit coming!) Then, Allstate flat our cancels the rental car WITHOUT TELLING ME, on May 29 -- and the repair shop had not even started working on my vehicle yet! More time wasted, waiting on hold... (Guess what Allstate? There is a lawsuit coming!) Today, my vehicle is repaired, but no flatbed is installed -- and Allstate canceled the rental vehicle again! A 1-ton truck without a flatbed is not "work ready"! (Guess what Allstate? There is a lawsuit coming!) Clearly, Allstate has NO IDEA what they are doing! What do you expect from an insurance company which started at Sears? Stay far, far away from Allstate! read more

We had Allstate for about 8 years. They insured our home and vehicles. We recently received a 45% increase in our auto insurance. I spoke to my agent and asked why the increase. He said it was an industry wide increase. Needless to say, I shopped and found auto insurance immediately for half the price. We have paid Allstate premiums with autopay.. I called my Allstate agent and requested our insurance to be canceled at the end of the month. I asked the office if we were paid up to date, and they said yes. A month later I received a letter from a collection agency saying we owe $375 for what I don't know. There was no call made or a letter or invoice sent. read more

Be careful when switching or changing policies with Allstate, I moved my property and vehicle's thinking I would get a better rate and Allstate didn't like the material of my roof even though it was never had a problem and still has a 8 year warranty they cancelled the policy and dragged out potential reinstatement for two weeks and now the cost of insuring the very same property that they insured 2 years ago a $894 is now $1,500 to $1,600 what a mess before moving any insurance make sure all inspections from the agents are done. This is horrible they suck read more

I have been an Allstate customer for 25 years. I recently skipped a payment, didn't realize I hadn't made it, then made the next one. My agency let me know a few days ago, and so I asked if I could pay it off, or if they could give me a few days as it's the literal middle of the week. They said they couldn't. So i contacted corporate through their social media, they also essentially told me pay up or be dropped. 25 years as a customer, not even a hiccup in all that time, and that is their level of customer service and appreciation. If I could, I'd go back and stop giving them money 24 years ago. If you want insurance, check out Farmers. https://www.farmers.com/ read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. Contacted them 9/30/23 about damage sustained as a result of flash flooding in NYC was told by 2 different agents that it would be covered. Was told my deductible amount. Submitted photos of damage and estimate from contractor to fix it. All calls are recorded now they are refusing to honor their word it was covered. I need help this is not right. I'm not sure if BBB or attorney general of NY can help. Does anyone have suggestions? Contact annie53b@aol.com read more

Allstate just raised my rates for car insurance from $118 to $154. They took out $308 in May and now in June $154. When you live on SS paying $450 in 2 months is ridiculous. They are getting paid for the first and last month. Time to leave Allstate read more

Their drive safe app is like a bait and switch and you get a few good discounts over renewals and then after you've been there a little bit they give you nothing not to mention you spend thousands of dollars on car insurance cuz I live in Florida and that's all we do is pay for insurance out the ass so can't even get a US citizen call center I had to get routed to a third world country where apparently my thousands of dollars on top of millions of the people that are spent thousands of dollars on insurance at least in Florida I know of I can't even get a real person to speak to we got to get some thorough country representative got to love that so I don't feel Allstate is even worth it read more

Well I was told by my claim adjuster that my final payment would get resolved by the 23rd of last month here I am on the 16th of December almost a month later and Emily Wade who is my claim adjuster refuses to call me back I've called the call center since the 23rd at least 20 times every single time they tell me we're going to put in a 24-hour call notice if it doesn't get resolved s going to get escalated but nothing ever gets escalated I have responded to Allstate community Care which is the automated response to any complaints on Yelp and on Allstate at least three to four times this will be the final and last time I'm doing this because I would not recommend anybody to get Allstate insurance they are the worst insurance ever like i said before 32 years of making my payment on time but Allstate takes their time in paying you back. read more

Absolutely terrible. I had a claim in 2017 and Florida was my agent. Customer service was worse than bad and I had to sleep in my home during repairs (drywall and floor staining) because they wouldn't put me in a hotel. Bad follow up and very stressful process. Claim was not my fault but from neighbor above toilet flooding. I recently had to put in 2 claims 4 years later. One because of a construction project on building and another from neighbor above dish washer flooding. They sent me a letter to cancel my insurance with no prior warning that filling 2 claims would cancel me, 3 claims in 5 years. I ask if I could cancel one of the claims because no work has been done and they said NO. They were supposed to call me back today and didn't. I have not even got the work done because there has been no follow up with me and they wont send out a second restoration company for an estimate as the first was too high. This company has treated me terrible over the last 5 years. DO NOT USE JOE SCHNEIDER!!!!!!!!! BEWARE! I went to look for another insurance company today and All State Joe Schneider has 5 claims on my profile, I only filed 3! When I ask what the other 2 were I was told they didn't know but, there was no payout from them. They never followed up with me in regards. I forwarded them the information of the 5 claims and ask again to fix the 2 bogus claims and if I could cancel 1 or at least be informed why i wasn't alerted of being canceled prior to my need, no follow up.... BAD read more

My car broke down and I called for my towing coverage to be used. We get everything squared away then two hours later they call me back to see if the tow company picked up the car and I said no they haven't then they tried to charge me $95 for a flat bed to use to tow the car and when I said the cars been towed before it doesn't need a flatbed they said they weren't going to send a towing company out until I give them the $95 AFTER they already told me about two hours beforehand that the towing company was on its way and I wouldn't have to pay out of pocket. I called the towing company with the number allstate provided, allstate never dispatched the towing company. This is the WORST treatment I've ever had with an insurance company. read more

You're in good hands? I had a real frustrating experience with Allstate. I was displeased at how they handled a claim I had with them. Their insured ran their car into my property, was clearly at fault, making this seemingly a pretty cut and dry, open and shut case. Allstate obviously owed for the claim, but there was a ton of delays. It was completely valid. I'd call every few days to see what the delays were, and kept getting all kinds of new reasons for delay. Here in Texas, if the insurer doesn't pay or deny the claim within a certain amount of time, you get to hire an attorney at their expense to recoup damages, plus interest. Be sure to let your adjuster know if they're pulling the delay tactics for too long. If not, you can at least get bit of interest for their delays. They can't make you wait forever. In all though, they paid what was a fair amount that the repairman agreed to work with. The adjuster was good about answering the phone and returning phone calls in a timely fashion and was professional and courteous. But, he was eventually just good at coming up with reasons why Allstate didn't come up off checks to cover the repairmen's bills that needed payment. read more

Any insurance company can boast about lowering your car insurance rate. All they have to do is provide you with less coverage. That's precisely how my Allstate salesperson met my auto insurance price point. Unbeknownst to me I found this out the hard way a couple of months later when Allstate attempted to charge me extra for uninsured motorist protection. I refused to pay for additional coverage because it should have been in my original policy quote. Due to the dishonesty of the Allstate sales weasel that sold me a lemon policy I would be giving Allstate the boot in a few short months for pulling such an unscrupulous and unethical stunt. Allstate wanted the extra revenue for the uninsured motorist protection so the company pulled the funds out of my savings account. They didn't get away with much money because I strategically kept only one dollar in the account. I filed a complaint with my bank and prevented the Allstate swindlers from getting their dirty hands in my bank account ever again. A phone representative from Allstate assured me that all I would have to do is sign a form opting out of uninsured motorist coverage and the overdraft funds would be reversed. The Allstate employee lied. I was never provided with a full refund. Over the phone I could not see the Allstate employee's purported "good hands". He had his fingers crossed while making his pledge to me. There are valid reasons why a well-known consumer advocacy publication places Allstate near the very the bottom of customer service ratings. You're in grubby, little thieving hands with Allstate. Now I get the chance to give Allstate my hands, two, vigilantly chosen fingers at a time. read more

My partner and I have been dealing with Allstate for over three months. The car was totalled out by an uninsured motorist. They have not paid her a dime and think they're going to limit her medical claims when her policy clearly states she has $105,000 in coverage. After reading and watching Steve Lheto's videos I think this might be the worst insurance company in the US. read more

First time and definitely last time with this company. Contractor been messaging them for more than a week as well as leaving voicemails, so I had to call and ask for a manager and still waiting cause guess what...to actually talk to a manager it usually takes 24 to 48 hours. Hope that I won't have to sue them if they don't take care of my issue. But right now they are just ignoring my contractor and lie to him by letting me know that they will call him back. So unprofessional and as soon as they are done with my claim I will start looking for a better insurance company. read more

I called Allstate insurance to get a quote on full coverage insurance for two vehicles and started to ask a hypothetical question about the insurance coverage. I believe the agent felt like I was wasting her time and hung up on me while I was asking the question. I'm sure it wasn't an accident because she clearly had my information and did not call back to confirm that it was an accidental hangup, I also could tell the agents energy in the conversation because of her tone was offputting in very negative . read more

We have 2 homes and 4 vehicles with Allstate and have been customers for a very long time. After a hail storm in the area, our claim for a roof due to the damage has been denied repeatedly. Every home in our neighborhood has a new roof as a result of these storms. We have had 2 independent contractors look at our roof and agree that it has storm damage and needs to be replaced. It is clear that several other contractors think there was damage in the area and several other insurance companies agree as so many other roofs have been replaced. Allstate's procedure for roof claims involves them hiring an outside company to take pictures of the roof and submit them to the claims department - the local agent is completely removed from the process and the claims office is in a remote location. As a result, no one from Allstate ever has first hand knowledge of the nature of the damage. This has been an unnecessarily prolonged battle for what should have been a very easy approval - with no end in sight. Very disappointing. Only after this began did we learn that Allstate is notorious for denying perfectly appropriate claims and making the appeals process cumbersome and lengthy. We will be switching once this is resolved and will make certain people understand what they are signing up for when they consider Allstate. read more

Allstate gave us a faulty mile wise device and then charge us 600 a month because the device was messed up. But instead of refunding our payments that was obviously their fault they instead said that since we opened an email they denied the refund haha Allstate is a joke and I highly recommend not using them for anything read more

I have Allstate DriveWise. Now 82, only my wife drives a 2020 Honda CRV. She drives very few miles, around 800 miles/yr. In 2002, we paid $ 322. Last year, in 2023, it jumped to $ 476. Same car, same number of miles each year. Increase of 48% year over year. read more

All state put me in the worst position ever... Never believe their agents nor take their work All state over draft my account after I suspended my payment and changed the date they still charged my bank account and cause major overdraft fees not only that I had to miss my aunt's funeral due to Allstate not giving me my money back. It took 3 days b4 Karen from the resolution team called she was rude and nasty over talked me yelled at me. They then want me to call my bank have them send proof of my fees just to not return the fee for 5-7 days after Allstate (Karen) never once apologized didn't have any empathy that I couldn't go to my mom sister funeral. I got paid and had to pay all the fees out my pay check causing me to be behind on other bills. Still haven't received any results or money THEY DESERVE NO STARS read more

If I could give a negative number I surely would. ALLSTATE motor club is the worst auto club around. I've been a customer of the Autoclub for over 20 years and 3 times they have left me stranded, twice in the middle of town and once in a simi remote area. The first two I never received a call back and had to get a independent tow company. The LAST and final was in Pine Valley CA. I called and the quoted me over $600.00 dollars because it was over the mileage and that's what the tow company charged plus they would not come out until the following afternoon, I called at 5:30pm. They said the tow company would not come out because of shortages. I got ahold of a Local tow company in El Cajon, HANKS TOWING, they were great, Hank didn't hesitate and within 45 minutes, he showed up and was on his way to my house in LESS than half of what my "SUPPOSED" autoclub quoted me with their IFFY show up time BTY, i should have known ALLSTATE was a horrible company. Six years ago my wife passed away, After a few months I finally called ALLSTATE insurance which I had for 38 years. When I called to inform them of her passing they said ok. A month later I received my bill, it went UP, A LOT. I called ALLSTATE, they said it was because I was now SINGLE and that how it works. I called USAA and I saved a ton of money on my HOUSE AND AUTO. ALLSTATE can say "your in good hands" but they are a horrible company. NEVER AGAIN Looking for a new Auto club as I type. Thanks read more

Had Allstate for over 20 years. Worst insurance company ever. The list of atrocities with this company are endless. State and federally approved modern day mafia. No, regardless of the " In good hands with Allstate" your not. Customer service is non existent ( except of course when they initially write your plan). Like someone said all they do is rape you financially by continually going up on their rates; no body especially in the local office wants to get off their rears to help you especially after an accident. I'm sorry sir you need to call the 1800 number all we do is collect all of your money and try not to answer any of your questions locally. I could go on and on and on. Btw that accident forgiveness for first time accident, don't forget to pay the one dollar that no one will tell you about. Do not assume you have that coverage . You better call; and no one will pick the phone up to call you that your auto or home coverage went up astronomically until after the fact; I and btw they will not do a yearly rate review on you only once a year when you show them other insurance quotes cutting their rates in half. Honey badgers, they do not care. Awful awful insurance company. read more

Allstate is a terrible insurance company. The person that hit my car is insured by Allstate. The person that hit my car even admitted that it was his fault to me and the Glen Ellyn police officer. this was done while backing out of a parting spot. The pictures show that I have damage to the drivers rear quarter panel in back of the rear tire, while the person that hit me, has damage to the rear bumper. The pictures are evident who is at fault. Allstate said that their investigation has decided that the accident is 50/50. I have to take my claim through my own insurance company and pay my $500 deductible. My investigation shows 2 things. The other driver was not using his backup camera since his car has one, and Allstate is a crap company. Instead of using the good hands, they just give you a finger. read more

Allstate - Result of an Allstate driver with a backup camera. - Auto Insurance Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

After 4 months and complete research on trying to find the author of our claim letter, I am convinced Allstate has no one handling claims or anything other than quotes. Including the link listed under Allstate responses on these reviews. The "decision" was made as 80/20......20 being our fault. No....100% their fault. The "rep" does not ever return your call, the suggested email from her VM has no response. I'm really wondering 80% of what as they have never received an estimate on the damages! My next move is BBB and the Attorney General's office as NO ONE answers the phone, including the corporate office in Illinois. read more

I've been a customer of Allstate for decades and it's mostly because my local agent is excellent. Today, I called the office and got an automated answering system. It took three tries to actually get to talk to the agent I was calling. It used to be their direct line. They said corporate Allstate made this change. And I wanted to pay my six months in full so I get a discount, but Allstate said I can't use a credit card. I can only get the discount by having it withdrawn from my checking. (Obviously favoriting the upper income clients) I have all of my bills automatically go to a specific card so I'm not surprised and overdrawn. I get paid once a month and it's just easier to use the credit card and pay it off than try to watch each day's balance. Allstate is about to lose a customer by their own hand. My agent is near retirement, so why should I stay. read more

I was a long time all state customer for 40 years with local family business. I recently was dropped from my plan on my home owners policy. I am very loyal customer, I paid my bills on time with no claims. Yet, we were terminated due to our roof was getting near in end of life. We went with State Farm, we switched over my entire umbrella policy over. Allstate lost a large account over nothing, the part that pissed me off the most, you're not in good hands with Allstate. Shop around, there are plenty of business that can meet your needs. read more

I wish I could give this -5 stars. We opened a policy for renters and vehicle insurance. None of the drivers have any tickets, accidents or claims, IOW we are great clients. Allstate sent us the policy and there was a problem. The effective date for the vehicle insurance was 20 NOV 2021... we opened the policy on 23 Sep 2021. So we immediately called to get the effective dates changed (btw we paid in full). Allstate said they would fix the problem in 24-48 hours. Guess what its been over 2 weeks with us calling and trying to get this fixed. Each customer service rep said the problem was fixed but again every 2-3 days the effective date was still the same. Allstate kept sending the same 20 Nov 2021 effective date vehicle insurance cards! Now its 8 Oct 2021 and we got an email stating they could not process the request for vehicle policies. We called back and the representative and supervisor could not give a reason why Allstate couldn't update with new effective dates - they were frustrated too! The last time we called the supervisor said she could fix it but guess what, it would take another 24-48 hours. Hello! Allstate has been saying that since 23 Sept and we are not going to fall for that trick. I have never in my 55 years had an insurance company be unable to issue insurance cards that same day. Matter of fact when we bought the two vehicles, paid in full, we got insurance over the phone in less than an hour with another company. The other big problem is Allstate could careless that we were driving uninsured even though we paid for a full 6 months! They also didn't care that we had spent over $750 in taxis to go to work, buy food. If that wasn't bad enough we can't register our vehicle without insurance and we have limited time to do that (after a certain date we will get fined). BTW our family has military members and you are required to have insurance to get on base, which we cannot do. Allstate is the biggest failure of an insurance company I have ever experienced. There is zero compassion, almost impossible to get ahold of a live representative, I must have spend 10 hours trying to figure out how to talk to someone. This is terrible professionalism, zero customer service and totally unacceptable behavior that advertises that 'you are in good hands with Allstate'. Based on their consistent failures to update a simple vehicle insurance effective date, even though we offered to pay more money, we will NEVER recommend Allstate to anyone ever again. BTW I will be making a YouTube video going over this debacle to warn my over 50K subscribers. Allstate is dead to me. read more

Last year, I found out that when I transitioned from Geico that my evidence of liability insurance was not submitted to the DMV. I am not sure if the burden is on Allstate to do this or me. The DMV renewal states that it is submitted electronically by the insurance company.

Let me begin by saying I left from Nationwide of 20 years to switch to Allstate. I appreciate Allstate for their competitive prices, excellent customer service and their efforts to go above and beyond the expected to rectify issues. Thus far I've had the pleasure of speaking to Ms. Tyesha, Ms. Janeece from uninsured claims department to the claim handlers. Ms. Felicia Folarin (Maryland )my insurance agent is also vast to assist, it took her 2 mins to switch my policy to one that was I my budget. I'm not saying nationwide didn't do their job but this team at allstate makes me feel appreciated. I'm very please I switched last year and I highly recommend Allstate for some of the reasons I've listed. I actually feel like I'm in good hands with allstate Thank you from a very satisfied custome read more

I have been with Allstate for 12 years and this company has declined. I never give bad reviews until now. There was a horrible storm that came through and due to that I have a leak.

One star! losing me as a customer for sure! read more

Was paying every 6 months and traded my car in during that 6 months. I thought I was getting money back because I got out before the 6 months and when I cancelled the lady said nothing about me owing money or anything. Then they say I owe them money out of nowhere and since I didn't have the policy anymore basically everything was deleted and I couldn't even look into exactly when I last paid the 6 months or anything. They couldn't tell me any information either except the obvious that they tried to charge me again and it didn't go through. Never had such a bad experience switching policies with a company. WILL NEVER GO BACK. I'm in disbelief. read more

We have a claim against Allstate as one of their insured hit our parked car. They were speedy about processing our claim however they now have new policy that makes us pay for the rental car (estimated to be at least 2 weeks) personally and then will reimburse us after everything is finished. This is crazy, they are using our money to pay their liability. Not only is the accident a hassle and a disruption to our lives that we did not ask for, but now it will cost us personally until the insurance company gets around to sending us a check. I would never recommend Allstate insurance read more
