Allstate Auto Insurance Reviews

I have been a client of Allstate Insurance since 2007, holding both an auto and a renter’s policy. I have not had to deal with a claim until Sunday, December 15, 2019, when our car was rear-ended on a Sunday morning. My wife and I were both shaken up but basically not injured. The rear end of the car was damaged, but it could be driven, the seat belts, however, did not function because of the severity of the impact. We got the car to our dealership and I informed Allstate through a message to my agent and I emailed him copies of my police statement, as well as the official police report of the incident. Monday morning at 7:00 I was at the dealership, where they had already been in touch with Allstate, which gave immediate authorization for car rental to an amount of $900.00. A rental was quickly arranged by the body shop staff, and I received a ride to the rental agency. I was mobile by 8:00 am. An adjuster called later that day to make sure we were OK, and to let me know that the other driver’s insurance company was on-side and would assume costs. By mid-week the adjuster had seen the car and approved the repair estimate, which was around $8,500.00. Parts were ordered, but this was Christmas time, and some parts had to be shipped in. The anticipated completion date was December 31st. In the meantime a representative from the claims office in Toronto, I believe – was in touch with us, explaining the process and wanting to make sure things were proceeding, and that we were both OK. We had both seen our doctor to be checked out. I had no ill effects, but my wife was experiencing some pain and discomfort across her shoulders and upper chest, which set in motion calls and questions from an Accident Benefits Advisor, which in turn resulted in authorization a series of chiropractic treatments. The car was finished, and I picked it up on December 30th, and here ends my story, except to say that I could not be more satisfied with the efficiency, thoroughness and follow-up from Allstate and my G.M. dealership.

Unlike most of the other reviews, I was lucky enough to have a good experience with Allstate. After I had my accident, they moved quickly to process my claim, and I was provided with a rental car within the hour. As I did not have collision on the vehicle, I had to pay the first few days of the rental car out of pocket until Allstate could determine I was not at fault, which I wasn't. Allstate very promptly contacted the police officer who attended the scene, and after determining I was not at fault, they immediately started covering the cost of the rental for another 5 days, and within a week, I was reimbursed for the 3 days I had to cover the rental myself. The insurance adjuster gave me a fair price for my car, and I received that check within days as well .My claim was wrapped up within a week, and I was happy with the way they handled it.

I have been with the company since 2010. And I had one claim last year which was not my fault l called 1-800 # at 2 am .they answered my call and next day call me back and send me to my desired garage and all the same day give me rental car . I recommend to try it .

I have been several insurance companies. Never go to State Farm or Guarantee of North America - both are horrible at claim time arrogant cheap and treat u like a cost. At Allstate I got a more than a fair price for a very old SUV. Also they gave me rental asap and were fair with a new policy on a new car. Only the customer service toll free were abrupt when you try and bargain.
