A Rip Off

1 out of 5 stars
I had a car accident on Feb 10th, 2024 and I was told that adjuster from All state insurance will give you a call/email back within 5 days to discuss the claim. However, it's more than three weeks and I haven't received any call or email from this insurance company. It seems like they don't know how to run their business and deal with customer who are already in stress after the accident. When you increase the insurance premium every year due to factors (inflation, number of claims reported, etc), a customer is expected from insurance company to resolve the issues promptly rather than we call them and ask what happened to the claim. This is a terrible company to deal especially for car insurance - don't go with cheap rates and save money and deal like me if anything happened. I wouldn't recommend anyone in future to deal with this company for any kind of services.
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.
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 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 $1.68 less than the original offer for the pain and suffering through this ordeal. This is honestly insulting, and those who pretend to care should be ashamed.
We have reached out to our personal lawyer and are in the process of filing a lawsuit.
To summarize, this company is a scam. No one in this company cares about their customers and will fight tooth and nail to rip you off.
I was paying 600$ monthly for home and auto but when I had accident. They do not responce to any request and do not care for clients. I am waiting for two years no claim payments. They bribe lawyers for not to pay. And not work properly and ignore your case. So even with lawyers you get to nowhere.
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.
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.
The best part of dealing with Allstate was talking to Yosra, she was professional, patient, helpful, polite and super nice.
Until I talked to her I was going to change insurance companies, my experience with the adjuster was not good.
Thank you Yosra for being there for me.
Where to begin?
Impossible to get a hold of your adjuster? - YES!
Email correspondence - NONE!
Compassion that you've been hit by a non-insured driver - NO!
Get you a rental equivalent to your brand new, $80K vehicle? - Absolutely not! In fact, they give you what's called a "Comparable SIZE." If that's not the biggest scam I don't know what is.
My first accident in over 30 years, not my fault, a person has no insurance, G1 licence, driving a beat up old car and I get punished by my own insurance company!
This is why their rates are somewhat cheaper...
Manager of adjusters, worse. Should not be in customer service role, attitude and really, I mean really doesn't care. Plain and simple. These are our terms, bye-bye.
Terrible customer service! Stay away from Allstate!
My car was stolen on 30-August-2021 I contacted Allstate right away was told that adjuster Johan M will call within the hour but 6 days later no call was received and when I am calling Allstate I had been on the phone for more than 1.5 hours and as soon as someone picks up the phone they hanging up right away knowing who I am and could call me back but never done!
Stay away from Allstate!
The first evaluator said that the accident was no fault. Then he left the company. And his replacement was re-evaluated almost more than a month later and said it was 100% at fault. Meanwhile, the collision centre fixed the vehicle under the assumption that it was at no fault based on the paperwork that was sent to them by Allstate. Unprofessionalism at its best.

Do not do business with this insurance company. If you read the reviews and lawsuits on other sites you will see they are a rip off . They don’t want to pay claims. It takes them forever getting back in contact with you and the rudest customer service you have ever talked with. BE WARNED! If you have problems with them get an attorney make them pay attorneys fees!
