Being honest the only reason I chose Allstate is because they offered cheaper quotes for my car insurance, BUT here is what happened to me and you will likely experience the same:
1. The sales rep who signed you up is GONE after you are onboard (never reply your email any more).
2. Average over 40+ mins wait time to talk to someone the helpline.
3. Unexpected 35% increase of your premium (no claims, 100% safe driving during the year) WITHOUT any notice and they hope you never find it out (YoY 35%).
4. The sales rep asks you to download a APP called Allstate "Drivewise" to get a small discount, but this spy App tracks EVERYTHING (your speed, brakes, maybe voice you never know) while you are driving, and if you stop using it, guess what, the discount is gone and more fees for you (of course they won't tell you that when they sign you up).
5. Very difficult to cancel and maybe some hidden fees you do not expect.
If you are ok with all that above, go for Allstate, otherwise, from my own experience I would suggest to go for a company that is more professional and more responsible to their customers.
