    I had always been happy with Allstate—When a tree fell on my car several years ago they quickly assessed the damage and direct deposited a check in my account. BUT then over the years I saw the cost of my insurance steadily climb to an absurd rate….and I’m a middle aged woman with no prior accidents or tickets yet being charged over $350/month for average coverage. I called and they offered to make the coverage even less to lower the price (said that’s all they could do). Meanwhile I’m getting quotes for $80-100/month. I finally got smart and switched and I’m kicking myself for not doing this faster.

    Totally useless—the people who work there are so ineffective that they can't even apply basic common sense to understand and assess a situation. If the other person is at fault, they'll attempt to shift the blame onto you to secure their financial gain. They are capable of altering the statements of the witnesses at their convenience and discretion. Beware of these individuals. I’m definitely going to change my insurance.

    On April 23, 2024 my son was involved in a head on collision with a 16 year old driver whose parents were insured with Allstate. The very next day I contacted them and was outsourced to India. How do you outsource something as so important? They stated the 16 year old didn't have insurance. I tried to explain it would be under his parents policy. Since they were reading off a teleprompter and limited English, they could not understand what I was saying. 7 days later I was finally able to file a claim. It has been a complete and utter nightmare. The assigned adjuster won't answer my calls.

    We explained to her my son legally does not have to give a recorded statement through an email. This is a snake company. 17 days later they have denied his claim. My son has a 2 year old daughter, works full time, and is a full time student actually trying to better his life. He saved for years to purchase this truck. He is out $7695.00. Alllsate is the worst insurance company I have ever seen!!!! I have complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the Insurance Commissioner. Maybe they can hold this company accountable.

    ALLSTATE will undervalue, underpay, accuse you of fraud, harass you, will assign you to one of their preferred affiliated shops only to never order or repair ANYTHING on your car for 6 months. Then after you complain, they pull the contract and have the shop call the sheriff on you. A hail Rep Stephanie **, accused us of fraud, illegally canceled my contract, worked with the shop to NEVER complete repairs. We had to involve 7 reps, 4 adjusters, 5 supervisors, and 2 escalations managers. We finally took it to a nonbias shop who deemed it a total loss.

    Allstate attempted to conceal the bad faith by backdating the total loss to BEFORE the claim was even filed. We filed a complaint with the Department of Insurance and were awarded monies because of their bad Faith. They told us they would refund deductibles...After LYING to the Department of Insurance for FOUR months stating that they owed it and had paid it in the additional $ awarded....They then said they simply don't owe it. They canceled the claim on 2nd car after we changed insurers and finally paid out less than needed TEN months later and only after Department of Insurance complaint. Run! Don't trust this company to insure ANYTHING you owe! If they do this to you file a complaint with the Department of Insurance..Bad Faith Insurance ALLSTATE!!

Called them back and they only gave me a portion of the renewal because they put a future cancel date instead of a past date. Now I have to show proof of my new policy.

    Allstate claims does not give a crap about what your policy is supposed to cover. They will low-ball you and stick you with a hefty bill, well over your deductible. They covered less than 1/3 of our policy replacement cost coverage and left us to cover the rest. It’s been over two years and our house isn’t what it was before even without out of pocket expenses exceeding $20k. They are horrible and do not honor their policies.

    When I signed up for homeowners’ policy I specifically asked if I had to list property items, like swimming pool, solar panels, etc. I was specifically told that I did not have to list any property items. The homeowner’s insurance covers what is on the property. A friend of mine told me that I should ask to specific list expensive items like swimming pools and solar panels. I called the Steven J. Toman Agency to specifically list the swimming pool and solar panels. I was told that would cost me an additional $1700/yr to list any item on the property. Allstate and the Steven J. Toman Agency are corrupt companies using the excuse of listing items on the property to increase the premium to current rates. Nobody should buy insurance from crooks like this.

    I have a home insurance policy with the company (had no choice per the lender when I bought my home). So far, I have no complaints about that. However I also had auto insurance which seemed like a good idea to save if I bundled. Well, once I got divorced and needed to make changes to the plan, problems started coming up. First, it seems like there are many arms but none attached to the same body AKA if an agent does something with the account, none of the other agents/personnel seem to know about it.

    My ex-husband called to remove himself from the policy, but the person he spoke with did not complete the process apparently, and so I continued to be billed for his vehicle. When speaking with my local agent, she didn't even know he now had a new policy with Allstate still, and asked that I provided proof of his new coverage start date. At this point my policy has been cancelled due to lack of payment on the erroneous amount.

    I start looking for insurance through other companies since I know I'm not going to reinstate my previous policy with Allstate. Someone from their sales department calls me to offer me a quote, apparently not knowing that I was already a client formerly or any of the history with that policy. When I explained this, the salesperson rudely hung up on me instead of redirecting me to someone who could help me straighten out this mess as I requested. Absolutely disappointed with how things have been turning out. Not glad I have to remain with this company because of homeowners insurance requirements through my lender. Would never do business with this company again.

    I applied online Oct 2023, 3 days later found out I was denied and had to go with another insurance company so I did. I never received any documentation, ID cards, or anything from Allstate the whole month of Oct. Nov. 2023 I received a notification from my bank that allstate withdrew money from my account, I then received an email saying "Congratulations" I was a "member" and they sent me the ID cards and everything. The next day I find out they was canceling my coverage that I did not reapply for on the 22nd. They then was asking for another payment for the month of October when I never had coverage that whole month. I disputed the transaction for November 2023 through my bank and they agreed to my reasoning and they even stated that, that was fraudulent for them to do.

    I highly DO NOT recommend allstate because who knows how many people they have done this too and got away with it. I spoke to the manager and seemed so incompetent and the way she was talking was like she was using illicit drugs so the call didn't get anywhere. She also stated that every insurance company is similar whereas if your insurance application gets denied doesn't mean your not covered, which is very odd to me and I know for a fact that other insurance companies is nothing like that. But please go with a different insurance company, one that won't lie and use your information fraudulently!

    The termination of my insurance policy by Allstate was purportedly based on the fact that I filed a claim for damages resulting from the aforementioned incident. It is deeply concerning and distressing to realize that Allstate would penalize a loyal customer for exercising their right to make a legitimate claim under their insurance policy. Such actions not only violate the principles of fairness and integrity but also undermine the trust and confidence that policyholders place in their insurance providers.

    We hit a deer and filed a claim on our comprehensive. After getting an estimate with the bodyshop they sent an adjuster from All-State. The body shop used new Toyota parts instead of aftermarket. All-State refuses to pay full for the new parts and now we are stuck paying the difference. I feel an agreement on the total should be made before final repairs are done so the customer has an option as to what they can do.

    I have been a devoted customer of Allstate for 20-plus years, but I was greatly upset with the last encounter that I had. While I have maintained a healthy business relationship with your company for years, it is now extremely strained as a result of the financial hardship. I think you will agree it is not up to your regular standards. I do not like complaining about things at all, but something had to be said in this situation because if this level of quality continues, I will no longer be able to continue this relationship. I can also speak for other people who have recently conducted business with you, as they have not been happy with their recent business dealings either.

    The fact of the matter is that your company is beginning to slip and, therefore, something needs to be done about it. I don't know the specifics of what is going on behind the scenes there, but something needs to change internally within your company if you want to keep your customers happy. While I wish to stay loyal to your insurance as I have done throughout the years, you need to understand that I expect a certain level of resources in return for my money, and when situations occur Allstate are no longer providing that. Especially (Jonathan **) claim adjuster. If I can give a negative zero I will.

    I have never been a customer of Allstate but the problems were created by Allstate. During the end of 2023 my insurance premium with Progressive increased. When I asked why they stated that Lexis Nexis reporting found an at-fault accident from 2022. I have never been in an accident during the reported time. I requested an investigation through Lexis Nexis, which took 30 days and I had to wait for a letter in the mail which then stated that AllState verified the information. I then proceeded to call AllState and spoke to a claims representative who reported that he could not find why this William's information was on my driving report as an accident. He immediately sent a report to "higher up" for it to be investigated on their end. Mind you someone at Allstate has already reported that this was correct to Lexis Nexis.

    I called again by the date a result was to be given (April 3rd) and I was told that I had to resubmit another statement and was not able to talk to someone "in that department" who was making this request. The infamous "those people in that department" who have no phone number or contact information. The representative from April 3rd helped reach out to "that department" who did not respond and the "adjuster" who was assigned (who was not in the office and apparently the only person who could answer why another statement was needed even though all the information is in the documentation and their calls are recorded) and her manager. Again am not blaming the reps. But these "departments" have no contact information (sneaky).

    At least the manager of the rep from April 3rd gave some response, but as they continue to "review" I am still stuck paying for a higher premium for an accident I was not ever present at not was anyone that is covered by my insurance. It was in a completely different state! So check your records for accuracy people. The matter as of today remains unresolved.

    The customer service deserves 0 stars. My auto insurance rate with my current company kept increasing so I called Allstate to see if I could get a better rate. Allstate was able to offer a much lower rate so I initiated a new policy. However once I compared the coverage side by side, my current company provided superior coverage. I called the same day (probably within an hour) the policy with Allstate was initiated to cancel the policy. A couple of days later I noticed a charge on my account from Allstate for $119.25. I must have called Allstate 7 or 8 times in a row regarding this charge and I either got disconnected or was told to call the roadside assistance number to get the refund. Apparently the roadside assistance is a separate policy from the auto policy.

    When I called the roadside number they denied the charge was from them. This was by far the worst customer service experience. Finally after multiple calls I called as if I was going to get a new quote and the agent was kind enough to connect me with customer service and remained on the line to ensure that the issue was resolved. Miraculously during this phone call I was told that the amount would be refunded within 10 business days. For a number of reasons I would never use Allstate, nor would I recommend them to anyone.

Enterprise put me in a vehicle within my limit and is charging me over 100 a week claiming it's taxes and not covered by the insurance. This is all the way around fraud to charge outside of a pre-negotiated fee and hit the end user with this fee... with no form of notice that they are going to charge you.

    If I could leave less than one star for this company, I would. Allstate is by far the worst company I've ever worked with. I was in an auto accident, which the other party was found to be 100% at fault for, so I had to work with his insurance--Allstate--to get my car fixed. Allstate was super cryptic throughout the whole process, leaving me to ask them lots of questions (via email) which the agent then replied snarkily that "it wasn't that confusing." Um, sorry, I don't get in a lot of traffic accidents. Also, the entire month it took of going back and forth to finally get my car fixed, the agent promised me many, many times that they would pay for all the repairs and not to worry and to just leave it between them and the shop. Well, I get the car fixed and am supposed to pick it up when the shop calls to tell me that Allstate won't pay.

    Long story short, I ended up having to pay $680 out of pocket, for an accident that I was in no way responsible for, and Allstate's response was along the lines of "sucks to suck." I have filed a claim with my state's Department of Insurance because it is FRAUDULENT to say you will pay for someone's car, have them get the work done, and then renege on that promise.

    I was involved in a collision with an Allstate customer almost a month ago. The other driver was cited by the police for the accident as well as it was recorded on street cameras. Yesterday I was finally able to get my car into the Collision Center to be repaired because this entire time they said they could not establish fault with the accident until they got a statement from the other driver and had been unable to do so. I was assigned an adjuster by the name of Ed ** whom I got a voicemail from two days after the accident with just his contact information that is it that is the only time I have ever heard from this adjuster in the almost 30 days since the accident he has never returned a single phone call or email.

    After a little over 2 weeks and me finally calling the corporate 1-800 claims phone number I was able to find out that yes fault was established days before and I was good to get my car taken care of now I never would have known had I not repeatedly been calling the 1-800 number because again my adjuster absolutely ghosted me this entire process. I've had to call the 1-800 number repeatedly to get anything done. I made my own appointment with the shop for the repairs.

    When I went to get my rental that I had previously been assured would be taken care of by Mr ** they would reach out to him personally and make sure it was handled there was no reservation. Their car rental place said they had never heard from Allstate and did not have a car available at that time. I would have to go to another city to get a car that's available that is still smaller than the vehicle that was damaged but is more than Allstate will even pay to cover and I'm already out of pocket in advance because they only reimburse you for the car rental. They don't cover the costs outright.

    I received my follow-up estimate from the Collision Center and it was more than double my initial Allstate estimate that I was given so I called today again the 1-800 number because the four phone calls I've placed to Mr ** in the past 24 hours about what to do have not been returned I am spoken to rudely I am interrupted the entire time couldn't even speak what the problem was and was completely blown off. I have been in previous auto accidents before and I have never dealt with this level of poor customer service lack of communication and just overall poor business practices. Would never recommend this insurance. I'm so thankful that I am not a customer and would advise against anybody considering choosing them for coverage.

My adjuster Nikki ** was nothing short of a joke and tried to lowball my vehicle, I told Nikki that I could not replace my vehicle for what they were willing to pay me, Nikki Jones them told me to get 3 vehicle for sale and sent me the ad. I sent her the 3 vehicles and again she did nothing. She then went on vacation and I was given another adjuster out of Texas this time, He stated that Nikki missed several items on my vehicle and raised the price by $3600.00, again another lowball offer. So then I had to invoke my appraisal rights and pay again more money as Allstate doesn’t care about any insured’s. The appraisal came back at $31,995, Allstate was trying to settle for $23,250. So now I get to pay again for my appraisal company to fight to get me the money from the amount of the appraisal at $31,995.00.

    Now Allstate gets an appraisal done and they determine a set price, and then I get to again pay out more money because of Allstate not wanting to pay a fair dollar amount for my totaled vehicle. Now I get to pay again more money out for mediation because of Allstate nothing wanting to pay a fair dollar amount. After being an insurance adjuster for the last 35 years, I have never heard one good word about Allstate when you need them, they are the worst insurance company when it comes to paying to repair your vehicle. My Lexus IS still in their preferred vendor shop of Gerber Collision in Panama City Beach, they seem to be the only people that are willing to help in getting anything completed in a timely matter. Because every Allstate person that I have talked with us a joke. After having 14 rental properties and 5 vehicle with Allstate, after all of this is settled we will be leaving Allstate, as they are the worst insurance company to pay any bills at are.

    I have had Allstate in Los Angeles CA for a few years and after my Mom got sick, I had to move back in with her, my policy went up. After her transition to heaven, I had to move several times, my policy continue to go up. I had one small claim for a rock that hit my windshield, they covered it, but my policy went up again. I couldn't afford to keep the policy. I tried to get it lowered in Jan. 2024, they said a new law hit California and all vehicle insurances are going up. When the policy went up in February 2024, I decided to shop around and found another insurance $117 less. I turned off the auto draft, someone turned it back on and drafted the policy before I canceled it. The very next day, I called them back to cancel the policy after the draft and ask for the payment to be reversed and they are taking 10 days to restore my money back to my account, which is in overdraft. Foolishness. I don't recommend them, if you do, don't move and and file a claim. P. **, Sylmar

    Wish I had the option of giving no stars. I've been with them for about 30+ years, but for the last couple of years, customer service has been removing vehicles from my policy without consent and replacing them with vehicles I no longer own. Because of this situation, my license got suspended, apparently, because I had no insurance for 8 months on a car I had been driving and paying for insurance once I sold the car and turned in the plates. The DMV said that since I had not returned the plates for a car I was paying insurance for, my license had to be suspended for 90 days. Then, last month January 2024, they replaced a current car with a car I didn't own anymore as of last year 2023. They had to reinstate the car and backdate it to the date I originally added it to my policy. Now, I'm being charged close to $700 for the process of reinstating the car and backdating it to the original date.

    I spoke to Tricia, apparently from corporate, and she said that even though the error was because of Allstate, I still had to pay for something Allstate did; that's how the system works, as she said. I am currently looking for another auto insurance company after 30 years, one that doesn't scam people and commit fraud on your policy by removing and adding vehicles without consent. I definitely do not recommend this auto insurance company at all. I'll pay the $700 but have already filed a complaint and am looking for a lawyer for my refund and emotional distress. This is the worst insurance for your car. Do not, under any circumstances, get this auto insurance.

    I have been with Allstate for years now. On my primary car, I always carried full coverage, which included rental coverage and car replacement – the works. Well, my car was totaled back in 2022, and that claims experience was great. When I got my new car to replace the totaled one, I was at the dealership all day, and by the time I was ready, my agency had closed, so they directed me to Customer Service to add the vehicle. I asked the representative to mirror the exact coverage from my totaled vehicle. Due to a divorce, this vehicle had to be registered under my father's name, who is elderly. Unfortunately, the representative mirrored all my coverage except for the rental.

    After another accident without rental coverage, I ended up having to pay $500 per week. The agency tells me that because my elderly father signed the application, there is nothing they can do. First, you would think they at least would go back and listen to the call of what was requested. I pay my premium in full every six months, and mind you, it was only a $36.00 difference monthly for the rental coverage. So, it seems they'd rather lose a customer than add the coverage, especially when it makes sense. If I could rate a zero, I would!

    Allstate has been the worst company for insurance. I got two accidents unfortunately blaming me at fault because GA is a one person at fault state, even if the person drives off causing you to be in an accident or in an accident I was blamed because I didn’t remember the whole story from hiding my head from the steering wheel and airbags.

    I found out on the policy there was a $200 add on the first car of the policy. I called the agency to find out to see why this car was more than my new car. They explained it's a fee they add on to the first car of the policy. I asked what kind of fee because this car is old than mine. They explained it is a rated fee, and it is not even broken down on the policy to show what I am paying for. So I asked, it’s like buying an insurance to have your insurance? They couldn’t agree nor deny.

    I filed a formal BBB complaint about this and a Allstate agent Nicole contact me and explained I was not even allowed to know about the rated fee as it a priority information and the agent who gave the information will be spoken well. I mentioned why is this information not spoken with customers if they are paying about it? They have the right to know. She said no it priority information and is not to be discussed with customers.

    I then spoke a David at the call center and spoke with him my concerns and he said I could take a 6 hour driver defensive course for 10% off my policy in GA. So I spent $19.95. So after I completed it the course I called to email the certificate and got the email. I contacted Nicole about my car not being fixed correctly because of the car alerts coming on and steering wheel tilted. I mentioned to her about the certificate of the course and she said it doesn’t work for a discount because of the claims, it has be over 36 months and not sure why they told you to take this course and emailed the course. She then took the information for a formal complaint for misleading information.

They will proceed to put $20k into something they previously totaled. And then totaled it again.

    Allstate is very nice, attentive, professional, and always reachable as long as there is no issue. My car was stolen on May 4th, 2023 from my house. It was my first car (am in my 20s). I still owe money to the bank ($4k). I was devastated and so I reported my car as stolen to my local police department and to Allstate. As soon as I did this Allstate started acting hostile towards me. They made me feel like I was at fault and even claimed that because I was young I might as well told someone to steal it so I could get paid. I felt discriminated because not only do I pay far more than my parents for full cover because I am in my 20s (Never gotten any type of tickets nor been involved in any car accident. My history is clean.) but they were rude and unprofessional.

    It's almost July, 2023 and my claim is still not resolved. The guy in charge called ADAM ** has been rude and very unprofessional. My car is worth $22k and was to be paid yet my car was found across the border. I was happy so it was recovered and was going to be repaired, but after seen the damages on my car I don't understand why it wasn't seen as a total loss. The car was completely wrecked. Allstate still said the car was to be repaired and the car was in "good condition". What made me enraged was Allstate wanted to repair the car with secondhand pieces from junkyards when my car is a new car and I am not paying over $300 just to get secondhand pieces to be installed in a car worth $22k.

    All this time it has strangely been difficult to even speak to them when before anything happened they were always reachable and this Adam guy yelled at me saying my car was worth $22k as it was a 2019 car that only has $18k miles and in excellent condition but if it was up to him he wouldn't give me anything as he thought I wasn't even worth his time nor the money. I suffer from anxiety, panic attacks and am claustrophobic and thanks to Allstate I was rushed to the emergency room after suffering a major anxiety and panic attack because of the way I was treated and how Allstate didn't even bother to take care of my claim.

    If you don't have Allstate then please don't think about moving to Allstate. It's really the worst. My father had an accident a few years ago and his car was a total loss and Allstate took 6 months to actually declare it a total loss and another 2 months to actually pay him because Allstate claimed my father was at fault when my father was hit from the back by another car and because that driver was going over 30 mph from the limit my father's car ended up colliding with the car in front of his him at a red stoplight.

    Long story short. Their driver 86-yr-old ran a red light and hit my car. I called the police to the scene and I called them to file the claim. Their driver did not, he didn't remember running the light or seeing it red. He was found at fault. No citation, my car is totaled because they cannot force their driver to pay the difference. Their rental was offered to me after a week from the accident and 3days later it was canceled since was was totaled. Thank God we have another car to use otherwise you get stuck with with a 1500 car rental that you have to try and get your money back from them. I had to keep calling the claims person to get info sent to me on how they do work. I had to do my own research and call the places listed in their network to get my car towed to which the claims person called me back 5hrs later to give me the info I already found.

    Was told 2 weeks is fast, when Geico does it in 3-5days. Sent title and they said online it take 24hrs for them to send the money. It's been 2 days and nothing from the claims person. Worst insurance compnay to deal with. They all act lazy and stonewall you when you try to get them to uphold their business standards that they post.

    On 4/28, I contacted them to change my 6 month payment from my checking account to my credit card (so I could get the points). The CSR told me the way to do that was to cancel my autopay and then contact them within 48 hours to give them my credit card. I did and I was told I lost the discounts because I cancelled autopay. The CSR never told me that would happen. I talked to multiple CSRs. One enrolled me in autopay on 5/1 and was told that they would be taking my 6 month premium on 5/3 (which I had repeated reminded them to do on the call). I received an auto response email saying that I was enrolled.

    I then started getting notices that my car insurance was to be cancelled if I did not make a payment. I called back and and was escalated to a resolution dept. Who basically told me that it is what it is. She just kept referring to the small print in the contract that I signed. I lost my discount. I was just trying to switch to a credit card. Terrible company. I'd rather pay a higher rate than deal with them any further.

My car was in the shop for 30 days and not being worked on. Allstate was aware of this and told me not to worry that I would be covered for rental and was sent a check. The check was then stopped and now they are saying it was a mistake that they sent that check.

Tried speaking with customer service, useless. They just kept apologizing and refused to do anything. They told me to try and contact collections at one point but how would that help when collections only gets the bill notice from Allstate?

    Towards the end of the conversation before I had all I could take they wanted me to contact my local agent to try and figure it out. What kind of business are they running where they can't handle that sort of thing, they need an agent too?

    Allstate just raised my rates. I am a 67-year old woman, working from home, and driving less than 50 miles a MONTH. Premium is over $300 MONTH. I have been a client for over three decades. They attributed the increase to regional rate increases and an accident for which they apparently deemed me to be at fault -- because I ended up in the median when a semi pushed me off the highway. I did not receive a citation or provided a police report which determined me to be at fault. They also totaled this car -- which was completely repairable -- without it even being looked at by a mechanic. It's all about them. They don't care about you.

    This is a very abbreviated summary of my complaint. Allstate Claim # **. I was in an accident on November 30, 2022, and reported the accident to Allstate. My policy covered collision and towing was included with this coverage. I made numerous phone calls and sent emails over the following 7 weeks, asking Allstate to tow my car to a safe location (a service I paid for.) We agreed for them to pick up my car and tow it to a collision center in their network but a week later, they still had not towed my car. This happened on more than one occasion, and each time they failed to pick up my car. Then finally, I asked them to tow it to my dealership.

    After a few days had passed, I checked my account on their website for the status of my claim and if they had towed my car. My account claims status read as follows: "Our adjuster is working with Howdy Honda to begin the inspection process." This led me to believe they had finally picked up the car and the claim was moving forward. Then, around January 14-15, 7 weeks into claim, I get a message from Allstate, stating that they "can't find my car and don't know where it is!" From what I understood, their adjuster went to the Honda dealership and discovered the car was not there. By now, it had been nearly 7 weeks that Allstate failed to pick up my car and move it to a safe location!. This is grossly negligent on the part of Allstate and my claims representative. On January 17th, my car was stolen and I do not have coverage for theft! Due to Allstate's delinquency in providing a service I paid for, I no longer have a car and I'm not covered for theft.

    Allstate is a large, greedy, insurance company who uses ugly tactics to make it difficult to get paid for a claim. An Allstate driver hit my car from behind while I was stopped at a red light. There are no other tricky details. They weren’t paying attention and ran into the back of my vehicle. A day later, my insurance company (Erie) called me and said that a claim was made by Allstate stating that I caused an accident with one of their drivers. I called Allstate, and the lady was quite rude. She said she called Erie because she was unable to contact me. I later found one missed call with no voicemails, and it was only a few minutes before my insurance company received the call from her.

    She told me I need to rent a car and pay for it myself, and then Allstate will reimburse me. This policy requires a large payment out of pocket for the victim. I paid $1,073.51 for the rental. I emailed the receipt to Allstate the day I returned the rental 3/29/2022. I have called over and over trying to get info regarding my claim. I have emailed probably 30 emails; each one had the claim number in the subject line and all required documents attached. I never got a response. I finally called to “request a quote for insurance”, and I got right through to a person who connected me to the claims department.

    I explained my situation to the lady. She kept telling me she was transferring me to another department. I was asking her to transfer me to her manager. She hung up on me. I called the number for a quote again, and got transferred to another claims specialist. They said, they are waiting for my detailed rental receipt. I told him I had sent that receipt 20-30 times already. He told me, I need to send a fresh email with the claim number and the receipt. He said if I sent an email string or forwarded anything, it won’t go through. As of 12/29/22, I’m still waiting for my payment, but at least they acknowledged that they received the rental receipt. Allstate is total trash. They are the greedy type of corporation you read about screwing over the regular folks. Please consider going to other companies with your insurance needs.

    Well, I spent another hour or so on the phone again today with Allstate. My accident happened on August 30th and I was on the ball with reporting it right off to my insurance and the other driver's insurance, who has Allstate. Today is September 13th. My car is still sitting in my yard wrecked. Even though they have access to the police report from that day now, they STILL are looking for a statement from the other driver, whom they haven't been able to reach for 2 weeks. I was told I get to wait another week before I can even get a rental car... so 3 weeks with no car. Awesome. They have to validate "liability". It's Allstate's "policy" that they need both driver's statements, even though the police report clearly states she hit me when I was at a stop sign motionless... I guess if you're not the policyholder, they don't care.

    I don't even know what a rental car costs upfront these days but I was first told I had to pay my insurance deductible (through my insurance, though I'm not at fault) and pay for a rental upfront before I'd get reimbursed for anything... so around 1500 or more? Not many people have that kind of cash upfront. I've got two kids and rent to pay, and I'm down a car right now.

    If you have Allstate, you are NOT in good hands. I have never experienced such poor customer service experience in my entire life. I was lied to by several insurance adjusters, was given false hope and was told this would be resolved fairly quickly. "After four aggressive attempts we will move forward with your claim, regardless", is what I was told. I was also not aware they didn't have access to the police report right off.

    Instead, my phone calls were dodged for a whole week and when the insurance adjuster finally contacted me after my several complaints were made, she claimed she "didn't lie to me, she just wasn't knowledgeable". I've asked to have someone else handle the claim multiple times... After doing ALL the research myself, contacting NC highway patrol, contacting and giving statements to both mine and the other party's insurance companies, filing several complaints, and obtaining and forwarding the physical copy of the police report that took almost 2 weeks for ME to obtain, I am STILL waiting on a resolution. No rental car and my car is still wrecked in my yard.

    I started my insurance policy with Allstate Insurance in NC because they gave me a cheaper rate than Progressive. My payments started around $170 per month my first six months. The next six months went up to around $200 per month. Then the payment went up to $236 per month, so I called the Allstate office in NC, I spoke with a guy since my representative wasn't available and asked him why does my policy amount keep going up, I didn't have tickets or anything on my licenses. He had the NERVE to say "INFLATION WENT UP". I have never heard anything like that from any insurance company I have ever dealt with. I let him know I would be seeking a new company since they increase payments from inflation, which seem as if they operate like a gas station, or grocery store.

    I got a new policy with USAA for $69.00 per month for both my cars, then called and canceled with Allstate. They said nothing about any charge if I canceled because it had only been 1 week since I had paid the $236.00. Then they send a letter saying I owe them $180.00. I called and told them to take if out of the $236.00 I had just paid and canceled after 1 week.

    So to say, if your insurance is going up because of "Inflation" you need to find another company because it looks like they will tell you anything. Then they put the $180 on my credit which is absolutely wrong when they got paid for insurance that was only used for 1 week after payment. I would never recommend them to anyone. I guess that's why they have such a bad reputation. They also bought out Esurance, ""PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE ESURANCE EITHER BECAUSE THEY ARE A RIP OFF AS WELL.

There was a person claiming to be hurt and they sued my son and me. After several weeks, Allstate determined they would hire legal counsel to represent me, that I was covered at the time of the incident, and I met all the criteria to qualify for coverage. They retained an attorney for me and that attorney represented me for about two years until Allstate decided they no longer wanted to represent me, so they filed a lawsuit against me, suing me, so they could get out of their responsibility after they had made the careful determination to represent me.

    I now have had to retain counsel to protect myself against Allstate who is suing me and wants me to pay for their attorney fees. I never knew an insurance company could be this vile and back out of paying for coverage they agreed to, and then turn around and sue me to not only get out of it, but then demand that I pay for the attorneys they decided to hire.

Repair of my vehicle was easily assigned to a body shop but obtaining a rental car and getting reimbursed (which is unexpected) was intentionally made difficult. Several phone calls including the rental car location directly speaking to Allstate were needed to convince representatives to take responsibility for the claim. The “Rental Vehicle Guidelines” I received were useless when intending to rent a car for the rate that Allstate asserts is coordinated with rental car businesses. The effort to deceive customers with hopes to save money is VERY DISAPPOINTING to say the least.

    AWFUL! Horrible! The Austin office is the worst! They have attempted to add my son to the policy even though he doesn't have a license or drive! They became very forceful, rude and threatening. To the point of telling me they would deduct the amount of money they wish from my bank, as the paperwork I signed to start with them allows them to charge for anything they wish. This is a very untrustworthy business!

    Low premiums are great, but when I’ve exceeded 4 weeks to get my claim paid out and the claims department and total loss department doesn’t answer their phones or return calls low premiums don’t do me any good. As I’m still paying for something that’s not drivable and not in my possession. The only response I get is when my local agent calls the claims department on my behalf. 20 years ago this was a 48 hour turnaround. Now exceeding 4 weeks.

    I acquired a Mileswise policy in 9/21/2021. It was set to renew on 3/21/2022. I was contact at 9:05am by an Allstate rep concerning renewal. She asked why I did not receive renewal Docs and cards. I answered that I did not know why and that I had not received anything in the mail due to the fact I was enrolled in Mileswise program. She had me call a Milewise Rep for Allstate. At which time I was connected with Ms. ** in North Carolina. She stated that I needed to pay $174 for my renewal docs to auto populate in the apps so that the dates on the cards would be update. I gave her my card info and asked to make sure, and she checked with a supervisor. She said that it should update within 48 hours at the latest.

    As I am now driving on expired documents. 2 days went pass and the docs never changed and I still had expired docs in the app and nothing ever came in the mail. I called back and made an escalated complaint upon finding out that the was a $300 unpaid overage on my milewise account. My escalation was handled by a Chris ** at their Corporate office who only conveyed the recycled statement of a $300 unpaid balance which was not seen until after I paid $174. I told Mr. ** that I no longer wanted to do business with allstate. I was then told by another rep that the policy would cancel if I did not make payment by the 5th. I did not and proceeded to other insurance. I explained that it is seriously dangerous for me as an African American male to ride with expired documents as this would only cause problems. Especially when I have paid what they asked for renewal.

    After getting new insurance I called on the 9th to tell them that I am canceling because I have a new policey, a gentlemen told me on 4/9/2022 that I was due a refund because I had paid that $174 as a "renewal" and now I am canceling the policy. I apprised him of the entire situation and he was sure of the refund. I did have to call again as he placed the points of our conversation in notes.

    A LaDonna called me today to state that I was not entitled to a refund. I stated that requested was not manufactured by me. The gentlemen state that I was entitled to the refund. She said that my Policy was reinstated on the 12th due to my payment on March 21st. I explained not insurance company should allow a customer to ride on expired documentation if he has done as instructed. Plainly Allstate's actions were negligent and oblivious to the fact that I rode on expired docs and this was unfair and dangerous to me as a consumer. I would not recommend and further action is forthcoming.

After I cancelled, 3 days ago it still shows up as being active, I have no idea how much I'm getting back. Their Computer system is slow updating, they told me it would take 48 to 72 hours to update, it's been that and still showing active, there are docs that show I cancelled but only the docs, no move in their system.

Allstate requested a new estimate from workshop, I have been there for three weeks and the adjuster has not wanted to evaluate so as not to pay, but if one is days late if they are calling you to threaten you with the DMV to suspend the insurance, you think it is fair that Allstate be paid every month now at the time of an accident Allstate washes its hands notifying that the damage of the accident has not been evaluated when they already have all the estimated prices, I have been with Allstate for 10 years and I already realized that Allstate does not work. They only want to be paid their monthly payments and at the time of a claim call the claim department and they don't know how to answer you.

    I do not recommend Allstate. Look at other insurance that actually pays for the damages. Allstate no longer works. It is just a name and advertising. Take a good look, between the claims offices and departments they do nothing, and when you have an accident, ask for the budget in the body shop about how much the fix will cost you and don't let the Auto Body shop charge you the supplement because between the Allstate adjuster and the Auto Body shop they agree so that the Auto Body shop charges a hefty sum of money without needing to. I do not recommend any supplement, ask for the estimate beforehand and pay exactly what the paint shop is charging, do not let the supplement be charged, that is scam and theft...

    Was rear ended by an Allstate customer, police report and common sense says it was 100% their fault.

Yeah, her car was totaled, I'm sure she just forgot to call you.

    Once they finally moved forward they tried to say all I needed was my bumper "refinished". A plastic bumper with holes and tears in it. They offered a tiny fraction of the quote I sent them from my mechanic. Which involved replacing the bumper, the underlying structure, and the rear subframe. Instead of working with me Allstate ignored me from that point on. They called my mechanic, who told them the same thing I had. In response to that they coughed up a little bit more, but still far short of the quote. In their revised estimate they added a few more parts but still insisted on refinishing the bumper. I told them no, they ignored me, and neither me nor my mechanic have heard from them since. At no point did they actually come out and look at the damage, this was all done over the phone. So now I have a damaged vehicle and will be out of pocket about $1000 to repair it. Garbage company, stay away.

    - Allstate customer from 1994 to 2005. - Full coverage. - We were stopped at a red light. - No sound, no warning -- an uninsured driver fell asleep on his way home from work, foot pressed on gas pedal, rear-ended us at minimum 65MPH. - Impact thrust our car 50 feet forward. If there were any traffic in the intersection at that moment, we would have been car-ponged and killed for sure. - My head whiplashed against the head rest so hard that it broke out and fell behind the seat. I blacked out from the concussion. My wife's whiplash was almost as bad. It's an absolutely miracle that our toddler was unharmed (save for seatbelt-burns). Thank God we only had 1 child at the time, because with the position we were hit, the other child would have been killed instantly.

    - The car was so completely totaled, the only salvage-able part was the hood over the engine. Every single other part was impact-rippled and damaged, including the roof and front fenders of the car. - During the initial 90 days after the accident, we knew exactly what life felt like for arthritis-plagued 80+ year olds. We understood what the term "dull, sapping, ever-present pain" truly means. - MRIs show that I now have 2 herniated discs in my neck. My wife has 1.

    - Allstate refused to respond to our claim for exactly 1 year (somehow, by law, insurance companies are allowed 365 days before they must respond) -- they responded literally hours before the deadline. - Allstate had dozens of photos of the car, had the full report of the scene of the accident, had our MRIs and chiropractor report... and their response to our claim was: "We are not convinced that your injuries were caused by this accident. We are refusing your claim."

    - I could give details of the next 2 years of taking legal action against Allstate -- but the best way to summarize it would be: Instead of just paying us our insured amount (less than six figures), Allstate spent at least 3 times that amount (close to a quarter-million) in lawyer and research (dirt-digging) expenses. It's not an exaggeration to say that they went after us like an over-zealous prosecuting attorney determined to pin a manslaughter charge on a jaywalker.

    - In the end? I lost my business, I had to find employment (despite my condition) that couldn't cover our bills, we lost our home... we lost everything. We had to move in with relatives, pennyless, and had to start all over. - And I still suffer from 2 herniated discs in my neck and occasional severe migraines that are triggered when I am not careful in how I position my neck, and how I position my head when I sleep.

    It is said that the lowest levels of Hell are reserved for "betrayers." However, there must be level lower than that, because there is a class of inhumans that the English language has no vocabulary for that can only be described as "beyond betrayers."

    Original Review: Sept. 17, 2021

    BEWARE of this company!! I will explain the details of their nefarious mode of operation, so no one else falls in the same trap.

    1. DO NOT TRY TO GET A QUOTE FROM THEM.

    I went online, filled in my biodata, bank details, credit card number etc. and they gave me a quote of $79 every month. I cancelled my current Nationwide insurance of $96 every month (Now I know that was a stupid thing to do) immediately because they tried to increase my rate + $50 ($148 monthly). Keep in mind that I have a clean driving record with no claims or tickets whatsoever. However, when I tried to make the payment due with Allstate, I kept getting an error message saying, "We are having technical issues with our website right now, please contact a customer care on 800.....". I tried paying several times but to no avail.

    I eventually did call an insurance agent with Allstate and they told me I was going to pay $111 dollars per month. I was furious and asked them why it changed, all they could tell me was that the online platform is not accurate, and only gives a quick quote. I explained to them that there's no such thing as a quick quote, there's only A QUOTE or an ESTIMATE! Apparently, the technical difficulty message on their website is a deliberate act to prevent people from accessing the quote agreed on, and to force unsuspecting customers to call insurance agents who will then increase the previously agreed premiums.

    2. I filled in my biodata, bank details, and credit card details on their website. The only reason I put those details on there was because it was their payment page, and I was about to make payments. Now they have access to all my data, they also defaulted on an agreement (quote) that we had, leaving me stranded and desperate to go for the next available fraudulent financial institution.

    Isn't it ridiculous that these agencies can decide to increase one's insurance premiums on the mere basis of relocation to another state despite having an excellent driving record? In summary, NEVER FILL IN YOUR DETAILS IN ALLSTATE WEBSITE WHILE GETTING A SEEMINGLY GOOD QUOTE. More than likely, it is a false advertising bait used to attract unsuspecting victims (like me). Customer care representatives are well-trained liars. AVOID AT ALL COST!

    My dad has been using All-state since the 1980's when he purchased homes in Utah. And has all his vehicles covered by them. And after all the years he's been a loyal customer. They made a mistake on his auto policy. Back in March, he called allstate to ask them to remove his dodge caravan from the policy because it had engine problems. And he also asked them that same day to insure the Ford Freestar, which was in storage with comprehensive coverage, he requested them to bring it out from storage status and insure it with liability coverage to use as his replacement primary vehicle.

    Unfortunately I borrowed my dad's van a few months later and had an accident. And to both our surprise and disappointment we found out allstate failed to update my dad's auto policy to liability insurance, and it was still listed as comprehensive insurance. And the allstate agent refused to cover the van for the accident. And because of allstate's mistake, I was charged with driving without insurance.

    As if this wasn't bad enough for both my dad and I, it got even worse. A few weeks after my dad attempted to file a claim for the Ford Freestar and was rejected by the allstate agent. The Utah DMV license division sent me a letter saying their records show the Ford Freestar was driven without insurance and was in an accident, and they warned me not to drive because my license was suspended indefinitely. And when I went to the DMV license division to get more details about the reasons why my license was suspended. The DMV agent told me it was our insurance company (allstate) that actually contacted the DMV to report the car was driven without insurance and had been in an accident. When I searched online, this is not normal procedure for most insurance companies to do such a thing. As soon as we find another insurance company, allstate can go to hell!

I do not need assistance with my Auto Policy premiums and points were earned to use on gift cards and/or merchandise. I called Allstate Drivewise and was told they were mainstreaming to one options which is crazy. My question would be... are they removing all rewards that the customer can use/redeem their points for? On the Drivewise website there is no mention of the changes for the customer to see.

    Below is what’s showing:

    Allstate Rewards® is a program that works with the Allstate Drivewise product. On the Allstate Rewards site, you will be able to use the points you've earned for your safe driving (captured by Drivewise). Redeem points for savings on brand-name merchandise, gift cards, local deals and more. Plus, you can also use your Points for chances to win great prizes in live Auctions and Sweepstakes.

    You will also be able to utilize the Drivewise Cash you receive from your Drivewise Enrollment and driving Performance toward purchasing merchandise and gift cards. If you're not interested in your Drivewise Cash to shop the site, you can request to receive a check in the mail or a credit your auto policy premium for the total amount.

    I do not want to participate in the Drivewise Program to credit my points to Auto policy. I CAN PAY MY AUTO POLICY WITHOUT DRIVEWISE ASSISTANCE! I want option to select where the accrue points go not Allstate.

    DO NOT BUY ALLSTATE. This used to be my agent office - for 23 YEARS. I'm a physician, and during the pandemic I sold my house (also Allstate policy - so they knew I sold it) and took a job with the Military. So, relocating physician during the pandemic, working for the Military. I sold my house in April and was moving. I made a car payment also in April, but made the next payment in July since I had my mail on hold trying to find a house to buy (none in Syracuse unless you had loads of cash). Allstate CANCELED my policy in JUNE with my last payment in APRIL, after 23 years. AND THEY WOULD NOT REINSTATE IT, and this office RETURNED MY PAYMENT from July (which I have yet to receive).

    Geez, maybe they could have called? Or reinstated the policy? But NO, now I can't register my car, had to find an expensive emergency policy (with Progressive) while juggling being displaced, and working as a PHYSICIAN for the MILITARY IN A PANDEMIC. So ALLSTATE HAS NO LOYALTY TO YOU. Neither does this office (Adam Roux apparently was sold my policy at the Liverpool office - used to be Ciotti and then Sikora - who were better imho). LOOK ELSEWHERE. NOT ALLSTATE, and NOT LIVERPOOL.

    There have been a few shining stars throughout this process that have restored some of my faith in the company. These people have been found through my persistence and constant calling. Thank you to Crystal and Thelma for all they have done and continue to do. Again, though, the vast majority of this process has been awful for my state of being.

    Original Review: Aug. 1, 2021

    Upon filing my auto claim, I was greeted with a claims agent that barely knew English. I had multiple claims agents hang up on me after I had only been on the line for five minutes, for no reason whatsoever. I had a claim agent lie to me about my police report being requested, when it never was, and I only found out two weeks later when I reached out to check on its progress. No one ever called to see how I was doing or to update me on the process. I had to set up my rental car through the body shop because AllState was too incompetent to set it up for me. I had to use AAA to help tow my car.

    I had to reach out for every single question or concern I had, and it was often not AllState that responded and helped me. I would not recommend AllState Auto Insurance to anyone; they've been absolutely horrendous through every step of this accident process. What do we pay for if not for care and communication after an accident? I've learned that any other company is better. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

    I work for a well known law firm in the Midwest area. I have seen how Allstate's customer service it's been deteriorating reaching the lowest level over the last years. They take too long to even evaluate the damages of a vehicle to determine if is repairable or a total loss. This process would usually take just a few days while Allstate could easily take several weeks. If the vehicle is determined to be a total loss the process is even worse! They have a service number for the total loss cases and sadly the lack of basic insurance concepts on many of the representatives is impressive.

    You call for status and often times you are not able to obtain any straight answer when you call. The adjusters cover for each other even known they are making mistakes. You can get an apology for the delay and admitting their mistakes and a week later receive a denial saying it was not their fault. They've turned into one of the worst companies to deal with. The unfairness handling claims, regardless if you are a claimant or their own insured, is unbelievable!

    This is the worst insurance company I've ever dealt with. My car was hit April 18. They didn't respond to the auto repair center to BEGIN repairs until May 19. And then didn't send me the reimbursement check for my rental until June 21. That is entirely too long to take for any of those steps, and there was no communication, no explanation as to why it was taking so long. I would call, leave messages, and get nothing back. Because they were so tardy, I had to keep extending my rental contract out week after week until the bill totaled nearly $4000 (which I had to pay out of pocket because their company doesn't contract with rental agencies, instead they reimburse you which is foolish because not everyone has the necessary funds for costs like that up front) but then learned they were only going to pay a little over $1800, less than half of the reimbursement!

    I tried to fight them but they kept saying no, they were not responsible. Their client hit me and they as an insurance company made a promise to cover the damages caused by their client. That's what an insurance company is supposed to do. I never would have had to spend that much if they hadn't dragged their feet. It's almost negligence at this point. To top it off, they sent the letter with the reimbursement check, but not the check itself. I had to call their corporate office to get it direct deposited to me.

    1. Incompetence
    2. Slow
    3. Poor communication
    4. No contracts for verification, just word of mouth
    5. Forced reimbursement policy

    6. Lack of full payment

    And it wasn't even the fault of only one individual. The main agent I worked with took an extended amount of time off and forwarded all his calls to a different agent, who was also gone and forwarded all her calls to a different agent, whose voicemail said he was not taking any more calls. And the manager I spoke with was no help in resolving this. And then the person who forgot to put the check in the envelope. It's the whole company. The only reason I give them 2 stars instead of 0 is because my car actually got fixed. But this was a headache I would not wish on anyone.

    About two years ago we had Allstate try to auto add someone to our automobile policy. This was someone we didn't even know, and despite whatever Texas database they pulled the information from this individual did not live with us. Allstate put the burden of proof and getting it so this person would not be added on us, which is ridiculous. The hoops we had to jump through were insane, and at a very difficult time for our family. It is bad, money grabbing corporate policies that were cited that were used to attempt to justify this. Who I have on my insurance and who I am paying for or not paying for is my business and my business alone, not Allstate's.

    Now, today, I receive an email notification that Allstate was going to add my 16 year old child to my insurance. A child that has a learner's permit and not a actual provisional or regular license. I call up the number I was given and some dubious line that smacked of "corporate policy" and underwriters policy was fed to me. They claimed that in the state of Texas, after 6 months of having a Learner's License that Texas considered them licensed, which is utter nonsense. Not to mention the fact that this was suddenly dumped on us not six months later, but a couple months away from it being TWO YEARS since she got her Learner's License.

    This on top of the fact that before she received her Learner's License I spoke to Allstate representatives on what their policy was and was assured that as long as she had a Learner's License and was not an actual Licensed Driver that she was covered under our policy and did not need to be added in full since she couldn't drive on her own. Furthermore, Allstate has not updated their position on this policy online and I therefore find it highly suspect that our agent's office is doing this at this moment.

    If this is in fact not Allstate's position I would like to suggest they reign in their local agents because after these two issues, issues I have not had with any other insurance company we are now taking our business elsewhere. After having shopped around for additional quotes no other major insurance carrier that I spoke to has the requirement of fully adding our child, with her Learner's License to our insurance policy, and no misinformation concerning some fabricated "six month" limit. For the icing on the cake they could not forward any documentation to us concerning this supposed underwriting policy as it was something they didn't give out and was only for use "in house".

    Again, if this is not actually Allstate's position I want to make this company aware that some of their agents are pushing these underhanded practices and "corporate policies", perhaps for a chance to increase premiums. Her full addition would have nearly doubled our auto insurance. If it was an attempted money grab it has most certainly backfired as we are now leaving Allstate, will never return to Allstate, and will warn our friends and family, especially those that are facing new learning drivers of our issues and problems with Allstate as a cautionary tale. We should have left with the first instance of over reach. I did not sign up to have a corporation dictate to me. Had the first not happened we would still be leaving because of the second instance. My word to any and all, when it comes to Allstate caveat emptor (buyer beware)!

    I was trying to get a quote for a homeowners and auto insurance bundle to replace my expiring bundle. Allstate without my authorization, removed funds from my mortgage company escrow account to pay for a yearly policy and they actually requested more money than was even on the quote. I never signed any documents and I never received an email even stating what the policy covered other than the conversation with a moronic agent. They also remove money from my checking account for my auto policy without so much as a signed document.

    If you buy Allstate insurance you are taking a huge risk because for one thing they won't even pay a claim without putting up a tremendous fight with you and now they have deducted money from my escrow account and checking account without my authorization and frankly when looking into it I have no legal avenues available to me. This is a travesty and this company is nothing more than a thief disguised as an insurance company. Worst experience I've ever had don't trust them.

    I started shopping around for auto insurance as I was paying almost 350 MONTH to State Farm with very little coverage or options. Allstate provided on paper a much better coverage plan with some really good options for a much cheaper price. HOWEVER! After switching, I had to make an adjustment to my plan. It was impossible to get anyone on the phone. It was either talk with a machine, or go straight to voice mail. There was no other way for me to talk to anyone. I left several voice messages over the course of a couple of hours to get the adjustment made. I gave up. Fast forward 24 hours later and someone calls me. I pretty much told them I'm going to look for a new insurance company. If this had been something serious that level of customer service is not the kind of stress I would want at that time. You are clearly NOT in good hand, with All Fake.

    I was involved in a flood almost 7 months ago and I am still waiting for Allstate to honor a claim that has been passed around to at least 5 adjusters with no satisfaction as of yet. I was sent to an allstate recommended repair shop that did not handle my case as they should have from the time I took my vehicle in. After not being satisfied there I was told that I could take my vehicle to a shop of my choice which I did but was told that they would not honor the shop's supplement due to rust which was not the case for my problem.

    I was told by the mechanic that my vehicle was surely damaged from the flood which caused water damage yet I was told that the person handling my claim has been moved to another department and left false information on my claim which caused my claim to be denied. I have never been late on paying my insurance premium and now the manager (**, DEBORAH) who has taken over my claim has called me today and informed me that they would be moving to another department and would be passing my claim on to someone named John (no last name given).

    Problem was caused by Farmers, not Allstate.

    Original Review: April 10, 2021

    On Tuesday April 6, 2021 I received a phone call from a Farmer's claims adjuster in Oklahoma City telling me Allstate has filed a claim against a now cancelled Farmer's policy claiming my 2018 pickup was involved in an accident on April 1st. The name of the person who was supposed to be driving my truck is someone I have never heard of. And the company who owns the other vehicle seems to be based solely in Houston, Texas.

    Problem is I have not been in Houston for almost a year and on April 1st my truck never left my garage in Temple, Texas. I have tried contacting Allstate about this and keep getting the head in the sand routine, the "I know nothing" response. This is at least insurance fraud and perhaps identity theft as well. Perhaps my questions will be answered after the Texas Department on Insurance acts on the complaint filed against Allstate.

    I have a claim with them and every time I deal with them it's painful. They might be cheaper in the first year or whatever but the premiums will rise fast and the stress and HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE is not worth it. Here are just 2 examples: Had a claim for our car. Hit a deer. It took months to settle. A lot of passing the buck and no one answering our calls. The "preferred" body shop was beyond terrible. It took us threatening lawyers and taking legal action for them to finally move our car to a good shop and get it repaired. Stress, headache and terrible customer service.

    Example 2. My Visa needed to be updated with them. This happens all the time if you get compromised or it expires. It took 36 minutes for them to update my visa. I know it just happened today and I checked my phone. They had to get my visa number for EVERY policy (car, house, rental, etc.). Almost 40 minutes to do something simple. That is what Allstate does. Then I wanted to complain to the manager. On hold for 10 minutes to tell me they won't talk to me and to email them. RIDICULOUS! RUN! RUN! RUN away as fast as you can. If you choose Allstate you get what you deserve... which is a terrible experience.
