Worst claim agent

I was with Allstate for 31 years and recently was told they would not insure my 18 yr old son because he has a license suspension (made a poor decision as a teenager as we all have). They forced me to sign an agreement stating that he would not drive my car. Fine. Then a few months later 1 month before renewal of my auto insurance they told me they were discontinuing my insurance as the underwriters had deemed me "at risk" because I had two claims, one over 6 yrs ago and the other in 2022, even though their policy says they remove collision claims within 6 yrs. I had 4 ticket (speeding, and failing to yield, 2018, 2021, 2023). So this I guess is the limit of their service and coverage for a client. Now I have cancelled my auto and tenant insurance and leaving them. What a joke. What is the point of getting insurance if they have a low limit on what you can be actually covered for. Where are the rights of the client/customer, when they are high priced, gouging and moving forward with repairs of $20k on an accident that my car is literally worth a smidge more. Not a great insurance company at all. One would think they would look at customer loyalty, and have more reasonable restrictions. THE WORST! Customer service is poor, rules are a complete joke. Insurers need more rights against these money hungry insurance companies.
Unable to get a simple explanation why my insurance didn’t decrease since this was the second year and with a old car I was supposed to save money. The woman that called me seemed like she was doing me a favor.
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.
Any e-mails they reply only after 2 days. Any phone calls is hold for 30min at least.
It has been like this for many years. Looks like management not making any effort to make it faster.
Very disappointed with the service. I am still with Allstate for the last 4 years. I will move it out during my next renewal.
As a long time customer I would expect I was getting best rates. I called to discuss why I would be saving $110.00 a month on 2 cars. The lady took the call was rude and unprofesional. Asked to be transferred to a manager she said take 1 to 5 business days. You lost 3000.00 in one call.
I moved, changed my address with a representative, apparently he didn't change it on their system and allstate was trying to contact me to let me know there's a 65$ outstanding balance. I never received the letter as I moved and received a call saying as of yesterday your policy was canceled and you can't drive... no warning, absolutely terrible customer service. Talked to a manager to try to straighten it out and was told I'd receive further information after she looked into it. Still waiting several weeks with no response.
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.
I have been with Allstate for several years we have all our vehicles and residence insurance, WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE SERVICE???? I spent almost 2 hours waiting to speak to representative... we originally spoke to broker who gave us incorrect information, we discovered this when transferred through to claims for new windscreen, the rep was polite at first then became irate we asked to speak to supervisor he refused and was starting to act offensively. I spoke to him explained how we didnt want to fight the world is in chaos right now we just want to speak to supervisor as if broker giving out incorrect information IT needed to clarified... he cut us off!!! My advice to ALLSTATE.... HIRE SENIORS WHO WOULD ENJOY STILL BEING PART OF WORKING WORLD... COMMON SENSE WOULDNT BE SUCH A PROBLEM WHEN DEALING WITH YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.
Terrible customer service! they don't take any responsibility and try to blame you for the lack of communication and customer service. I prepaid my insurance for months in advance, I knew it was about to expire on September. I was ready to renew the insurance and when I call to pay on Sep. 15th they told me that my insurance expired on September 9th. So I was driving without any insurance and nobody called me or notified me of anything! I was very upset with the situation. But they just asked me if I wanted to renew or not. Not apology or any effort of making up to me. Zero customer service. I won't recommend them at all. I also had several problems with them before. But that was to worse one.
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.

Worst claim agent. left you hanging without instruction, or any guide. Ignore my calls from morning to evening. the car needs to be tow but she did not do anything, I have to handle by myself. Did not even bother to arrange for replacement car, her knowing i have newborn and toddler.
