Car Accident

2.3 out of 5 stars
My partner was involved in an accident that was deemed to be 100% the other parties fault. There is honestly so many horrible things that have occurred (in regards to Allstate’s customer service), that it is impossible to fit this into a single review.
Long story short, it took over a month for an adjuster to reach out. They low-balled the repair costs, resulting it going into the shop, and them claiming it was a write off. They offered no car rental. They then offered 50% market value of the vehicle, which we disputed. Over 3 months later, and being escalated several times to the “top of the claims department” we have been ignored. Best part? After waiting for a respectable offer, the heads of the claims department expressed a dire interest to leave lawyers out of this situation, and then offered us $1.68 less than the original offer for the pain and suffering through this ordeal. This is honestly insulting, and those who pretend to care should be ashamed.
We have reached out to our personal lawyer and are in the process of filing a lawsuit.
To summarize, this company is a scam. No one in this company cares about their customers and will fight tooth and nail to rip you off.
Our truck battery died, we called Allstate to see if they could help us. They sent a driver who said we weren't covered to get towed because of the area we were in, so already waiting for hours he LEFT US STRANDED, circling on the phone again until we had to call Allstate again and they said we ARE covered and sent another tow who actually knew their job. I had my cats in the boiling hot truck and I can't take them out fearing they'd get sick from mosquitoes that were heavy in the area. So we continue on our trip, pop a tire and have to call Allstate again. Lady left us waiting on the phone for 20 minutes just to tell us we're not covered to get our trailer towed along with our truck only the truck is insured. EXCEPT THE PREVIOUS TOW ALREADY TOOK OUR TRAILER. Nobody knows the policies or their job descriptions, learn how to do your jobs or don't offer insurance to people.
I called a week and a half ago and was told to go online to cancel my auto insurance. Today I had to call them back to actually cancel and speak to someone. I again called them back and Antonia was quite dismissive and condescending. I asked to talk to a supervisor or manager to complain and request that tapes be pulled to validate. She said it’s not possible to speak to anyone but she can give me the ombudsman phone number. Seriously???
I thought Allstate actually cared about clients and having an optimal team, it is clearly stated over and over as I waited on hold. Perhaps some customer care training is required for the front line.
Horrible customer service, definitely do not care about customers at all.
I did not know my vehicle after a total loss was still being charged and went into renewal charging me double the amount for a car I did not own anymore... ALEJANDRA agent of Ontario helps me get a full refund! The best person ever!
Beware it’s a nightmare dealing with them!
Called in on April to get a quote consolidated with my partner. Without the account holder's approval (my husband) they added me to the account for the renewal. I am currently insured with another company.
To clean up THEIR mess, I was asked to provide my insurance slips which I did and then they asked me for my entire policy! Why do they need my personal information to clean up their mess?
It’s SO easy to add a person to their account but NOT SO easy to remove a person.
Numerous calls to the calls center and they escalated the issue and the agent even mentioned they will have the manager contact me within 72 hours. This was on September 25, 22. So, 4 days passed, and no phone calls.
Today, I called in to check on the status. They were supposed to remove me from the policy not only that they CANCELLED the entire policy!
A horrible experience with Allstate.
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.
Very bad customer service, and wait time. Called 20 times but my issue never got resolved!
I have had a worst ever experience with this company, I didn't want to write but believe me their customer service poor quality made me this writable, their agents are not enough knowledge for the process, please save your time and avoid them
I cancelled my insurance due to their broker mistakes and when I called the company the agents were so rude and didn't listen to my claim and inform me the broker is quit and we are not responsible and nobody can help me! I don't recommend guys just a good name with zero quality!
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.
My whole family is very much impressed by the exceptional customer service! The agent helped procure our auto & home insurance coverages for the ensuing policy year 2020-2021. She helped us find the most practical & reasonable premium for our pertinent coverage and was very knowledgeable in all aspects of insurance law in Ontario, finds ways to find the best fit for our insurance needs for the right value and the best price. We would recommend Allstate to all our associates & relatives!

We had a very easy to process car accident, not our fault and we had a video of the whole situation from the dash camera. The agents that pick up the phone are great, I would give 5 stars in this category as they are the only reason our claim got settled. The adjustor however; well, let me just say we have not the pleasure to even speak to her through out the process! She never picked up the phone, nor did she call as back. Very disappointing and begs the question. If Allstate have such a great claim customer service team, why do they need to pay an adjustor who doesn't even pick up the phone? This is the only reason why we haven't rated Allstate 5 stars.
