Changing address will change your policy to premium. Even you want to cancel your policy, they will charge you a lot or delay the process just to increase your charge!
I was in a no fault accident in 2015 the day before my wedding actually. Called allstate right there. Informed the police. My vehicle needed repair around $4000 for the bumper and light. Months go buy and i call allstate asking whats going on with my claim. They say the person responsible gave them the wrong insurance or something, I have to wait. More months go by, i cant get them on the phone, I leave numerous voicemails for them. Nothing. Finally i go into their nw office ands tell them if they dont fix my vehicle im leaving their service. They say to wait again. Nope. I close my account and guess what they keep charging me. I file a complaint aginst them and write numerous eltters, they said i didnt provide in writing that i was leaving. I guess yelling at them in person to fix my truck or else wasnt good enough. I write them a letter and sue in small claims to get my money back as they were charging my card. I still tried contacting them over and over to get my vehicle fixed. Nothing. Finally around 2019 they respond and say its my fault they didnt give me the information and that the statute of limitations for me to sue is past. They deleted all my voicemails and only had one msg to a number i no longer had at the time in 2016- asking me to contact them even though they had my correct number. They also at this time in 2019 sent me an estimate sheet with the locaiton of the garage, I NEVER RECIEVED THIS UNTIL THEN. Allstate is a scam company that stonewalled me for years so they didnt have to have my vehicle fixed and yet they keep harrassing me trying to get me back as a customer. What a joke.
Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.
If you are insured with All State insurance beware. They are very fast at taking your money but impossible to get a refund. I have canceled 3 policies 3 months ago. All I get from them is more forms to fill or more letters asking for the same things. What is more frustrating is that even knowing that I cancel the policies 3 months ago they still take money out of my account each month. I am frustrated and I will be filing a complaint with the Ombudsman office very shortly.
Went through 3 representatives to try to cancel my insurance. Given wrong information, no one followed up and nothing was done. They now owe me close to $1000 dollars and no one can give me a date when it will be returned to me. Apparently no one is in charge of anything either. Now its right before Christmas and I will need to go into debt. Way to go Allstate- your lack of accountability to your long term customers is downright disgusting. Stay away.
I had a very bad experience with Allstate.
I purchased a car insurance with Allstate, but I get an additional "property insurance" which is about rental property or something. It was the agent "told" (not recommend) me to buy (I don't even have a rental house, or a room), I was told it helps to reduce insurance price, but actually it did increased my payment every time (extra $42.28/month)!!!
when I sold my car and need to cancel insurance, the agent just gave me a number to call then never contact me again. I called to cancel the car's insurance and the property insurance, 2 weeks later, they finally canceled the car's, but keeping charging me for the property insurance. I called again (the connecting is always waiting for long time), and I was confirmed it canceled, and I was told that they need to contact another department. One month later, I found I was still charged through my credit card. I had to call again, the girl said the cancelation is still in progress. I have no words at all.
I am still waiting....
If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.
I was with Allstate for 31 years and recently was told they would not insure my 18 yr old son because he has a license suspension (made a poor decision as a teenager as we all have). They forced me to sign an agreement stating that he would not drive my car. Fine. Then a few months later 1 month before renewal of my auto insurance they told me they were discontinuing my insurance as the underwriters had deemed me "at risk" because I had two claims, one over 6 yrs ago and the other in 2022, even though their policy says they remove collision claims within 6 yrs. I had 4 ticket (speeding, and failing to yield, 2018, 2021, 2023). So this I guess is the limit of their service and coverage for a client. Now I have cancelled my auto and tenant insurance and leaving them. What a joke. What is the point of getting insurance if they have a low limit on what you can be actually covered for. Where are the rights of the client/customer, when they are high priced, gouging and moving forward with repairs of $20k on an accident that my car is literally worth a smidge more. Not a great insurance company at all. One would think they would look at customer loyalty, and have more reasonable restrictions. THE WORST! Customer service is poor, rules are a complete joke. Insurers need more rights against these money hungry insurance companies.
I moved, changed my address with a representative, apparently he didn't change it on their system and allstate was trying to contact me to let me know there's a 65$ outstanding balance. I never received the letter as I moved and received a call saying as of yesterday your policy was canceled and you can't drive... no warning, absolutely terrible customer service. Talked to a manager to try to straighten it out and was told I'd receive further information after she looked into it. Still waiting several weeks with no response.
Terrible customer service! they don't take any responsibility and try to blame you for the lack of communication and customer service. I prepaid my insurance for months in advance, I knew it was about to expire on September. I was ready to renew the insurance and when I call to pay on Sep. 15th they told me that my insurance expired on September 9th. So I was driving without any insurance and nobody called me or notified me of anything! I was very upset with the situation. But they just asked me if I wanted to renew or not. Not apology or any effort of making up to me. Zero customer service. I won't recommend them at all. I also had several problems with them before. But that was to worse one.
I had an extremely disappointing experience with Allstate insurance company. They abruptly cancelled our contract without any prior notice, leaving us driving for over a month without coverage. Despite paying in full, they offered no apology or satisfactory explanation, attributing the cancellation to an agent's mistake. If we had an accident during that time, it would have been disastrous. When we asked for reinstatement as per our contract, they demanded we sign up for a new year at double the cost, blaming the cancellation on their end. To add insult to injury, they insisted on a cancellation fee from us. Our attempts to resolve the issue with multiple agents and a request to speak to a manager went unanswered for days. I am appalled by their lack of accountability and deceitful practices. It's best to avoid this company as they seem to have no qualms about taking advantage of people and breaking contracts without remorse.

Allstate recently renewed my insurance in July and raised the price by 1400$ for the year after a year of clean driving, no accidents or claims. I spoke to an agent to cancel my Allstate insurance before the month restart. The agent told me I will not be charged for the next month and should be getting funds back for the days I did not drive under the insurance Allstate. A week later they charged me full price "350" for the future month I attempted to call them and took about 30 minutes to start speaking to an agent. When I asked why my insurance price went up, they told me “it's because all insurance around the country went up". I asked to speak to a manager, and they told me that the manger would contact me 2-3 business day. The Allstate manager called me a week later and discuss why my price went up significantly. The manager tried finding every excuse in the book to why my insurance went up. The manager also told me there's nothing they can do for me and I will not be getting any of the 350$ I was charged for the future month and will not be getting a refund for the days I was not using them as an insurance. I've been with a little Insurance in the past and Allstate is by far the worse Insurance company and the customer service is abysmal. I would NEVER recommend anyone to ever use such a terrible company… Never use All state.
