Allstate Auto Insurance Reviews

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.

I was in a no-fault accident in 2015. Allstate stonewalled me and then denied I had ever made a claim. Their ombudsman refused to answer my emails. Years later the truth is they only contacted me once at an old phone number I wasn't using and deleted the file. When I would call they would tell me I didn't have a claim. After two years there's nothing you can do but that was the game they were playing all along.

I car T-boned in an intersection by someone who ran a red light. I had two witnesses I've never met at the intersection who both saw what happened and corroborated my account. My claims holder at Allstate sent me one email and a letter in my mail hiking my premiums up by 58%. I've tried to get a hold of her with 10 emails and 5 phone calls over the course of 2 weeks. She responded to one email. Neither of my witnesses have been contacted. The incident has not been looked into so far as I can tell, though it's hard to tell anything because the agent won't return a simple email. I will never use Allstate again.

Someone smashed my car from behind at an intersection and called Allstate. It took a long time but finally got hold of staff and waited for their tow truck to tow the car away. The care was eventually written off and we settled for far less than what the car was worth but needed a car asap. I bought a new car and asked for an estimate which they supplied after given them the vin# and all the necessary info. After picking up the new car, the price jumped up more than 40% than what was quoted. I've been calling them the past one week and they kept tossing me around and sometime won't even pick up my calls. I am so disappointed with them and looking at my options. I guess I will wait till I get to the bottom of this but so frustrating.

Learn from my mistake - AVOID Allstate! In September 2019, I decided to research for an auto insurance provider offering a better rate. After speaking with 6 different providers, I settled with Allstate. However, DO NOT be fooled by their marketing. I got hit by a Dodge Caravan, on June 12th, 2020 after performing a left turn. The driver was driving way past a 30km limit, in a construction zone. Had he respected his speed limit, AND kept his right lane, this accident could have been avoided (I am convinced he passed a red light). My rear driver door was completely smashed in, but all he got was minor bumper damage on his right side. Yet, Allstate, declared me 100% responsible. In my 20+ years of driving, with only no-fault accidents, and having worked as a driving instructor, I am appalled. The driver who hit me was not only responsible but he was rude and he omitted important information on the Joint Accident Report. It's ridiculous that an insurance company won't consider the action of this reckless driver, especially considering a lack of character by not fully completing a document. To make matters worse, my long-term garage was not part of their Authorized Dealers. I found this extremely odd as every other insurance company ALWAYS referred me to them. Due to this, I received a cheque in the mail (minus my deductible) prior to even getting my car back!!! Who mails out a cheque when the work has not been completed? A savings of $5/mth has resulted in unnecessary stress and time working on contesting an accident that was clearly not my fault. Now I am out-of-pocket of a $500 deductible and a premium increase. All the while, Mr. White Dodge, continues to drive recklessly since he omitted his insurance company name and driver's licence on the report. Note to self: if your instinct tells you something is wrong, call the cops! FYI: I will be contesting this Allstate decision.
