Allstate Auto Insurance Reviews

Was the third party in the accident, someone run a red and hit a minivan crossing on a green pushing him into me.
Was towed to the reporting center, made the report then towed to a collision repair shop. Phoned Allstate to report the accident and was assigned a claim advisor.
The next day a senior claim advisor called and told me I have to sign a release for them to take the car back to their preferred repair shop or I’ll have to pay for the storage
Asked about the claim but was told it’s not her department but offered me a settlement for the car sight unseen. Still no response from my assigned advisor after numerous phone messages and emails or her manager, then a cheque arrived with no investigation or dialogue
Lodged a complaint with their Ombudsman but no response. What kind of a company is this? Now I have to hire a lawyer to clean this mess up. Stay away from this company at all costs.

Phone waiting too long... I can't reach (one-hour waiting), no e-mail answer over 2 months... They not fix small damage. High payment...

I was in a no-fault accident. The bumper is damaged and costs about $4000 to repair. I did everything I was supposed to and when I wasn’t hearing back I called them and was told I had to keep waiting because there was a problem with the guilty party’s insurance. Months go by and nothing. I call again and I was told I had no claim and no accident was reported. I ended up leaving Allstate and they kept billing me and I had to fight them on that and I won. A few years later talking to a corporate lawyer and my story came up. He suggested I sue, but unfortunately, there’s a two-limit to doing that. I figured I would contact them again and see what they had to say. They admitted I reported the accident and had it on record and claimed that they made one single phone call to me, but at the time they did that number was no longer in service. I requested all the phone records as they record their calls and I have my phone bills to show the times dates and lengths of the calls it turns out they destroyed all the recordings. They still refused to fix my vehicle which I can’t sell due to the damage.

I’m in Toronto and I got into an accident almost 3 weeks ago. I still have not spoken to an advisor or anyone working on my claim only customer service, despite my many phone calls and emails to my advisor, rentals, etc… My car sat in the pound for 2 weeks and I had to call every day to make sure it eventually got towed to the mechanic. The estimate from the mechanic was quick but now I have to wait for the adjuster to review it and make a decision…. I’m sure I’ll be waiting at least another week for them to do that. Meanwhile, I’m driving a rental that I only have a month to drive because of my rental allowance. This company is so slow, and they do not care to actually help its customers. I have no idea what I will do after next week if my car is not fixed or if I have something, anything to drive by next week.

Very selfish and greedy insurance company. The company's policy is very bad for the clients. The customer service is bad, I made a claim this year they said somebody will call me back but for more than a month nobody call me. I've been with them since 2014, and never had any claims until this year 2022 I have two small claims totaling about $3000. Just because of these two claims and a speeding ticket in 2020, they immediately decided to kick me out and not renew my policy. I have been driving for 18 years and have been with different insurance and this is the worst insurance I have. Be careful to deal with this company. They don't want you to make any claim otherwise you got kicked out.

I initially went with Allstate for car and content insurance. My rate was good. I had an older car with zero safety features. I moved to another city and my rate went from 95/month to 160/month. Which was ridiculous. My car then completely died. It took me two weeks to find a new vehicle. I finally found a brand new car with ALL the safety features. An excessive amount of safety features is brand new with 40km on it and my insurance went up to 250/month. How is this okay? I get a brand-new car with all the safety features and winter tires and you jack the price up. It's ridiculous. I've switched. Never ever again. You're a rip-off.

I have tried to get a hold of my adjuster several times and I’m sick and tired of trying to get a hold of them. I believe this is not fair as I have called them every single day for the last week and a half to get no reply from them and only another adjuster saying that they will get to call me back. I’ve left several voicemails and even try to contact the management but no reason. As a long-term customer, I believe that this is unfair and I should be treated just as any other customer I have no choice but to escalate this matter. Please give me a call as soon as possible or email me back as soon as possible as I need to figure out what’s going on with my vehicle as the shop is telling me that they’re going to put in aftermarket parts and I’ve already explained the situation several times that this is a brand new vehicle and I have taken in this vehicle within care. I can resolve this matter and we don’t have to escalate this matter. I will be taking legal precautions if this matter is not resolved. I am asking for the bare minimum at this point.

If I could, I would give this company zero stars. We were involved in a car crash in mid-June, 2022. The driver involved in the incident ran a red light. Three months have passed now and the advisor taking care of our case never reached out to us. We have tried to call him countless times and the phone never went through, we have left him a ton of messages and he's never responded to us. We've even tried to reach out to his manager, and still have not yet received any calls back. Besides, the auto shop Allstate referred for repairing our car charged us $500 and we were informed that Allstate would return the money back to us. We feel so disappointed with this insurance company and no one from the claim center can help us.

I set up auto payment with a credit card. Forget to update the expiration date of the card. Allstate charged a $50 penalty for service fee per transaction. ( I have an auto and home with Allstate).

I emailed Allstate the day that the credit card payment was declined. Also called them right away and informed them not to worry only to have a letter to charge me $50 extra a week later.

Sweet.

I called Allstate twice and was sent in circles. I was told to email. That got no response. What they don't tell you when you get your renewal letter is... Even if you cancel in writing before the renewal date, they will still take your money and you have to wait at least two weeks to get it back! My insurance was renewed in September, got my renewal in the mail less than a month before my renewal date. I canceled right away and was told it didn't matter the payment was scheduled two months before my renewal date in July...
