Allstate Auto Insurance Reviews

I am writing this review while I am on hold with their customer service for 3 hours and counting. PATHETIC. If I could, I would give them a zero star. I just wanted to add another car to an existing policy. The way they are making their customers wait for hours and hours, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Appalling customer service.
I waited and waited on the phone to complain, holding for 45 minutes and then another 1 hour 20 min. Someone was supposed to call me back. They never did. Now it’s Friday late afternoon and the matter is still not resolved.
Please, please for your sanity, choose another insurance company. The service we received from another insurer who grabbed our new business with open arms and then shunned us and passed the buck when complaints and issues arose. No matter where you are in the country I suggest you DO NOT buy any insurance through this third-rate company. You will live to regret it.

We submitted a claim for auto insurance and since then it's been about a month, 8 phone calls and 3 emails and we cannot find anyone who can assist us with our claim. Any agent we speak to directs us to the agent in charge of the file who is M.I.A. Another agent assured me that my file was placed in the urgent section and still no call within a week. Worst people to deal with, unfriendly, unprofessional and flat-out terrible at their jobs. Crooks who take your money and do not help you out. Absolute garbage of a company. If I could rate them 0 stars I would.

I have been trying for 2 days to reach Allstate. I have tried online enquiry, through my log-in account and by phone. Very frustrating

Just stay away! Allstate only used to be a good company! NOT anymore... Insane, rude and dismissive customer service, flawed billing service, no follow-up, and in general a very disappointing experience.

We have had a good experience with Allstate until it came time to make a claim.
This bad experience was not entirely them, also with the police, adjuster and repair shop in Calgary.
Firstly, the police who came to the scene did not file the report, the lady that backed up into us did not have insurance, she showed the cop a fake insurance paper from her phone and that was good enough for him. The adjusters avoid us for months and then came back and said “well she said it wasn’t her fault”. I don’t even know if they are going after her for the bill.
We had the car into the repair shop the invoice said there was a wheel align, ent done, we had to take the vehicle into a repair shop and have them do it. All around just a bad experience, and I guess nowadays you can get away with not having insurance, b/c this lady got away with it.
I like our insurance agent, he always answered our questions right away and did what he could but was limited.

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.

Absolutely impossible to reach any agent. I have called numerous locations, tried to leave messages after pressing 1 as the recording tells you to do so, but it goes to nowhere. No one ever calls you back so you're stuck on hold for HOURS! INFURIATING! I'M TAKING MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! one star is too good for this place

I wrote this review while on hold waiting for a customer representative to pick up my call - I'm at 1 hour 40 minutes wait time now trying to add a new car to my insurance policy the message is "we are experiencing longer wait times than usual"...

I have been with Allstate for many years with home and auto insurance, by pre-authorized payment. This month I got an email saying my credit card company declined payment, therefore, there will be 50$-penalty for each of my cars plus home. I later found it is my credit card expired. I used one credit card for all pre-authorized payments. Other companies simply updated info with me later, instead of charging %50 for each account. However, my two cars are bundled in one policy, so even if there is such a big penalty, it should not be counted by each car, but should be counted as one policy account. By their harsh standard, they should only charge me 100 instead of 150.
If you have an alternative, do not stay with them!
