by Aziz on Dec 7, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

I have read the reviews now , have i read it earlier i could not been with Allstate. All the -ve reviews are so true nothing is +ve .Now i am going through a claim not @ fault & i am experiencing awful time.The adjuster is playing game & doing the side business. He is very rude no communication after repeatedly sending emails & phone calls no reply.He send an offer @ 50 %.My advice to all to stay away this company . YOU ARE IN VERY BAD HANDS.

Parking Lot Incident

by LeighW on Dec 4, 2014
1.5 out of 5 stars

My wife, 2 kids and I just parked in a parking spot at a Canadian Tire with my truck. I was the first to open the door (which I was in the passenger side) to get out. When I opened the door, I was starting to get out when someone who was trying to take a short cut through the parking spaces hit my door, which thank god basically saved my life. Driver was trying to drive through. Ok so we no in no way was hugging parking spot next to me so he was way too close and driving way too fast. This was on a weekend so I call 24hour number and talk to a lady on the phone and give all the details and she ensures me that I was not at fault. Fast forward a few days later and I talk to another lady who informs me that I was at fault! Seriously? I'm in my parking spot stopped and getting out, someone hits my door and it's my fault!
I said what happens if he had actually hit me? Well that's different I guess then it would be his fault. Hello the door is what saved me from that happening. Needless to say I'll be appealing their decision. Guess I'll have to start being like the Dukes of Hazards and climb in and out of the window.

Worst Experience

by Jack on Feb 9, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

I had the worst experience with Allstate.
I had a minor ticket (Failed to carry insurance paper while driving), as that was a rental car, and the rental agency took the papers out while cleaning and forgot to put that back. So I get the ticket which was paid for by the rental company.
But I had no idea that time it will show up on my license.

To prove this I had to share all my chats and screenshots with Allstate.
I did that and they asked me to pay for the policy to start. I did the payment a day before my insurance start date. They called me to increase my premium by $600cad.
I told them to cancel my policy and they called back and said ok we will keep it the same.

Bad Claim Experience

by tdot.5555 on Feb 1, 2020
2 out of 5 stars

I have a very unpleasant experience with Allstate & their claims service. There was an incident with my car and another in a private lot back in 2017. The damages were minimal so we didn't file a claim and paid for the damages ourselves but we did file collision report. 2 years later, we came to renew our insurance for 2020 and then that's when we came to know that was a claim that was closed from this incident and it was deemed I was at-fault when that wasn't the case. When I called them, they said they sent 2 letters and they called but we didn't receive anything. They wouldn't open the case either since the dispute period of 1 year has ended. This was very frustrating as we would have disputed it if we knew of such a claim. Fortunately, I had first-time at-fault forgiveness which protected our premiums from this claim however, I didn't need to use it if we had disputed it. Allstate's actions from this incident were completely unacceptable and they should have made more of an effort to contact us when this claim was made.

Poo client care

I was in an accident last year in which I was injured and still to this day am. It's been a constant fight to get income replacement benefits or proper funding for services needed for recovery which is now getting worse due to nobody properly doing their jobs. The adjusters drag everything and everyone to the breaking point. Really only there to take your money and when you need the help because of someone else negligence it's a long hard fight. After 16 1/2 years, I won't be returning. Allstate is by far the worst.

Allstate avoids you

My vehicle was broken into in September and I submitted a claim and was told a claim adjuster will call me back. I did not hear from them for more than 2 weeks after. They called during work hours when I cannot answer my phone. I called them back and asked them to call me again. But no one called back. I called again but only reach voicemail each time. After more than 2 weeks, someone call during my work hour again and obviously, I missed their call. I called back and again, it went to the voicemail. And then, yesterday, approximately 5 weeks since I submitted the claim, a guy called while I was driving, so I asked them to call back in 45 mins but no one called back. Today I had a voice message that they claimed they called several times and I did not return their call, so they will close my claim on November 29. I called her back 4 times today (reach voicemail each time) and told her I am expecting a call back from her TODAY. As normal, no one returned my call. I am shopping for another insurance provider now.

AVOID this company

If you have a luxury vehicle like myself you would think that going with Allstate is good idea since they are expensive. To start with, they are extremely slow with their claim process. When you insure a car that's worth 50K, one would you think that you would get a rental thats at least a luxury. Allstate offers no luxury rentals, they will give you a $40 limit per day. Its an absolute joke, I have never heard that before in my life. Even if you are insuring a 1 million dollar car they will give you a Toyota. Horrible company , horrible staff. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

AVOID them

by Insured User on Nov 20, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I had a vehicle collision and reported the accident to them later that day. I was told an adjuster would be in touch with me to settle further details. Over a week passed w/o any communication from their end, and I finally decided to follow up. I was told by a new agent that some claim statements had been lost and mine was likely one of them. Lost? Just like that, I suppose... I had to go through the reporting process again, and both times the agents were rude, far too casual, and unapologetic for any of their mistakes. When you try to explain your situation, they constantly interrupt you, making for a really obnoxious experience. I've been with them for just over 4 months, and already I've had 4 different account agents who have stepped in because their turn over is so high. I'm waiting until this claim is handled, and then I'm IMMEDIATELY switching to a different insurance company. Allstate does not inspire any trust whatsoever.

Worst insurance company ever!

by Disappointed on Oct 21, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I've been a loyal customer for about 7 years with them, never made a claim, never missed a claim, never called and complained about rising rates ever, so my first brand new car was stolen on September 23.2019, I called when it happened and I was told a claim specialist would contact me within 24 hours, next day I called and they said sorry it will be between 7 -10 days before some will contact me. Fast forward three weeks later after calling everyday I finally spoke with the "claim specialist". It has been a month, they said my cheque will be in the mail, my rental has expired so I'm paying out of pocket, my wallet, spare house keys, garage door opener was in the vehicle so I've had to replace all those which has cost me over $1000 , the rental will cost me $300 and I just spoke with them and they said the cheque will take 7 to 10 days! I've never been made to feel so helpless and used, absolutely worst insurance company ever!!! Don't use them. The agent is incompetent, rude and very unhelpful.
