Allstate Auto Insurance Reviews

I had an accident three days ago. My car was damaged. I have called them many times and talked with different people. So far no one called me back. I even have a claim number. That means I still have to wait. My life is very inconvenient without car. Here is what Montreal is. Be careful when you want to choose insurance agency.

I have been with Allstate Insurance since 1986. I have always had good service from them. For the last 20 or so years, I have had 6 cars, a utility trailer, 2 motorcycles, and 2 homes insured with Allstate. Of course, they always made sure we were aware of all the perks and discounts that we were receiving by having so many vehicles and our homeowners combined. There was never a reason to look outside of Allstate for insurance. I just figured with multiple policies, discounts, etc., that Allstate was the company for me. Boy was I wrong. I just looked into switching to Travelers insurance and I saved almost $3000/year just for the vehicles. That is unbelievable. I figured that I could save a few hundred dollars but $3000? No wonder Allstate provided us with such good service - THEY WERE RIPPING US OFF FOR OVER 20 YEARS. It really does not pay to be a loyal consumer these days. I would not recommend Allstate to anybody. Shame on you Allstate. Let the consumer beware.

rate increase was out of line for past non-claim periods

Very slow to respond and very costly, I had no claims for years but insurance went up every year.

Very Bad customer service. Call on hold for two hours
I'm stuck in order to save few bucks.

TD has atrocious customer service. They misquoted me and did not add a driver on our policy for Home and Auto.
The difference was over $300. They indicated that we had only given them one driver. That is impossible, especially after I spent over an hour each time with 2 reps, the first one quoted and the 2nd person finalized it, each time they were the same quote.
I find it extraordinarily hard to believe that we would not mention a second driver on one of our vehicles.
I spoke to multiple managers and since December have been chasing them.
They even stooped as low as saying that they called us back and indicated to us that they mentioned we never added the additional driver.

Absolute Lies! They never called us. I will continue to go after this as we will not be lied and manipulated because your reps on the phone are all young and have no experience by the looks of things. English was not their first language, so for TD to not give us the benefit of the doubt and continually lie, this is will going to a lawyer and will continue informing the public of TD's lack of service, unprofessionalism, corruption, and fraud.

Everyone should know the level of disservice they provide.

I have been insuring with Allstate for about 65 years. During that time, I have had complaints, but nothing serious. However, over the past three weeks, I have had situations that have caused me to think seriously about looking for another carrier.
I have been dealing with the Allstate offices and their customer service has, all but disappeared.
Within the last month, my auto insurance came due and I like to pay my bills directly with their office. However, when I went there. There was no one there to take my payment. I purposely went there a good deal after lunch so as not to interfere with anyone’s lunch time, but was told by the manager that there was no one available as the person responsible was having her lunch. This is the first time that the branches manager has refused to help me and told me to come back at another time.
When I returned the next day, it took them about five minutes to find some one who could help me.
In previous years, the receptionist, was always there and took care of me within a couple of minutes.
A week after the above incident, my wife misplaced her pink insurance slip so I went to the Allstate office at about 3:20 p.m. to get a replacement. When I explained what I needed, I was told to have a seat and she would look after me in about five minutes. There were already two other people seated there, so I accepted the situation.
During the time I was waiting, another couple approached the receptionist. I have no idea what their needs were, but they were told to have a seat. Since the was only one seat left, they chose to stand and wait.
The couple stood and waited for about six minutes before I could hear them mumble that the wait was ridiculous so they left.
I was told to wait about five minutes, but when I had been sitting for more than ten minutes, I got up to leave. As I was heading out, I commented that I believed that I had been waiting long enough. I received no reply from the receptionist so I left.
I am now looking to change carriers.

We had a very easy to process car accident, not our fault and we had a video of the whole situation from the dash camera. The agents that pick up the phone are great, I would give 5 stars in this category as they are the only reason our claim got settled. The adjustor however; well, let me just say we have not the pleasure to even speak to her through out the process! She never picked up the phone, nor did she call as back. Very disappointing and begs the question. If Allstate have such a great claim customer service team, why do they need to pay an adjustor who doesn't even pick up the phone? This is the only reason why we haven't rated Allstate 5 stars.

I’ve been with Allstate for many years, the prices are very good. However, the service is horrible when you claim damages. I claimed front damage repair for my vehicle and I was told to wait for five business days to get answers from an adviser. Unfortunately, after a month, I got nothing! I called the advisor three times and he didn’t want to answer the phone, I left a message and still no response. I paid insurance for three vehicles so many years without any claim and they don’t want to cover the damage!

The best part of dealing with Allstate was talking to Yosra, she was professional, patient, helpful, polite and super nice.
Until I talked to her I was going to change insurance companies, my experience with the adjuster was not good.
Thank you Yosra for being there for me.
