Allstate insurance needs to step it up

Share and Enjoy:
I just encountered an extensive search for a new car insurer, and so I feel qualified to explain why I did not choose Allstate for my car insurance.

While I like the fact that they have an insurance agent just down the road from me, I ran into problems with the online process to get an insurance policy with them (the computer wouldn't let me push through to get a quote) and I was likewise unimpressed that it took me a decent while to get ahold of a customer service agent over the phone.

I put Allstate on my list specifically because they have an insurance agent office near where I live and I liked their Accident Free discounts (I likewise liked their Accident Forgivenees policy that they advertised in case something negative happened while I might have been a policyholder with them).

However, what lost me their business were the facts that the insurance quote they offered me was higher than the other insurers I researched and that it took me a while to get ahold of someone to speak about a potential insurance policy with them,

Let me speak to that: I spent fifteen minutes on hold to get in touch with a customer service agent. The insurance agent was friendly, sure, but I grew up in the internet age and I like my stuff with some immediacy. Fifteen minutes won't work for me if they also will charge me more than I would like for the insurance policy limits I was looking to set.

Allstate, you could have been my insurer, but it took too long and you would have charged me too much. Maybe next time.

  1. My husband and I had Alltate for about 6 months. They are a great insurance company however our policy alone went un with the six months a total of $100. We were not oo happy so we quit them ane went to someone else. You're right, they are way to expensive.
