Do not do business with this insurance company. If you read the reviews and lawsuits on other sites you will see they are a rip off . They don’t want to pay claims. It takes them forever getting back in contact with you and the rudest customer service you have ever talked with. BE WARNED! If you have problems with them get an attorney make them pay attorneys fees!
I had a car accident on Feb 10th, 2024 and I was told that adjuster from All state insurance will give you a call/email back within 5 days to discuss the claim. However, it's more than three weeks and I haven't received any call or email from this insurance company. It seems like they don't know how to run their business and deal with customer who are already in stress after the accident. When you increase the insurance premium every year due to factors (inflation, number of claims reported, etc), a customer is expected from insurance company to resolve the issues promptly rather than we call them and ask what happened to the claim. This is a terrible company to deal especially for car insurance - don't go with cheap rates and save money and deal like me if anything happened. I wouldn't recommend anyone in future to deal with this company for any kind of services.
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 recently had a disappointing experience with Allstate Insurance. Despite being a loyal customer, I encountered unwarranted price hikes with no room for negotiation when I reached out to discuss rates. The customer service wait times were exorbitant when calling, and when I finally connected with an agent, I was met with inflexibility and a suggestion to switch to a cheaper option elsewhere. It's disheartening to see a lack of respect for loyal customers and a disregard for fair pricing practices. As a result, I've decided to take my business elsewhere, as it's evident that Allstate Insurance prioritizes profit over customer satisfaction.
I was in a no fault accident in 2015 the day before my wedding actually. Called allstate right there. Informed the police. My vehicle needed repair around $4000 for the bumper and light. Months go buy and i call allstate asking whats going on with my claim. They say the person responsible gave them the wrong insurance or something, I have to wait. More months go by, i cant get them on the phone, I leave numerous voicemails for them. Nothing. Finally i go into their nw office ands tell them if they dont fix my vehicle im leaving their service. They say to wait again. Nope. I close my account and guess what they keep charging me. I file a complaint aginst them and write numerous eltters, they said i didnt provide in writing that i was leaving. I guess yelling at them in person to fix my truck or else wasnt good enough. I write them a letter and sue in small claims to get my money back as they were charging my card. I still tried contacting them over and over to get my vehicle fixed. Nothing. Finally around 2019 they respond and say its my fault they didnt give me the information and that the statute of limitations for me to sue is past. They deleted all my voicemails and only had one msg to a number i no longer had at the time in 2016- asking me to contact them even though they had my correct number. They also at this time in 2019 sent me an estimate sheet with the locaiton of the garage, I NEVER RECIEVED THIS UNTIL THEN. Allstate is a scam company that stonewalled me for years so they didnt have to have my vehicle fixed and yet they keep harrassing me trying to get me back as a customer. What a joke.
They are absolutely the worst insurance company. So glad i left them.
1) They literally stole from me and acted like it was no big deal that they were charging me the wrong amount.
2) my bank account got compromised and instead of reminding me that my last payment didn’t go through Because i had changed my card, they added more fees and took HUGE amounts of money to restore my insurance.
Trust me and avoid at all costs. Their average wait time for any help is approximately an hour.
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.
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.
I was charged more money than what was quoted and also without my consent.
The quote given and agreed upon was not honoured.
If you are insured with All State insurance beware. They are very fast at taking your money but impossible to get a refund. I have canceled 3 policies 3 months ago. All I get from them is more forms to fill or more letters asking for the same things. What is more frustrating is that even knowing that I cancel the policies 3 months ago they still take money out of my account each month. I am frustrated and I will be filing a complaint with the Ombudsman office very shortly.
Wait times for over an hour to speak to someone I’ve called several times in the past few months to add/remove cars and have had to wait more than an hour each time. When I actually speak to someone, and they can’t answer my question, I have to wait another hour so get someone who can answer my question.
