JaSSon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have Statefarm on all my vehicles at this moment. They were the cheapest for my bike, fair on my Mustang, but they're raping me on my Jimmy. So, I need to switch the Jimmy to a different company, but the AllState sales guy said they have to insure all the vehicles I own, it's company policy. Shit. They offered me $150/month for the Mustang AND the Jimmy, which saves me about $60 a month over what I'm paying right now. He said he couldn't quote me on my bike, I have to call an agent for that. Will I regret switching to All State? How is their service? Claims handleing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have all state and they've always been fair priced... I haven't ever had a to file a claim, so I don't know how they are with their claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have AllState, and I've filed a few claims with them in the past two or so years, and it's been very business-like; nothing really to complain about, and nothing really to rave about.

Mojoe Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I've been with All State for 9 years. My agent is great. I have some points and my rates are very good. I have never filed a claim, but have done A LOT of changes to my coverage and had differant cars. They have handled all of my needs very well.

Kohones Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I've been with & stayed with "State Farm" for over 30 years. I know I've paid a lil more, but they have ALWAYS been there when I needed them. Sometimes (not always) but sometimes you get what you paid for. The insurance b/z calculates your premiums based on a # of things including (but not limited to) your tenure with them -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytang Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Been with Allstate for 28 years and my home has been covered with them for 16 years and have always had the best rates on my daily drivers and my collectible cars and when I have had a claim it was handled with ease. Allstate has some nice programs of late and the waiver of $100 ded per year without a claim is a nice feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGraw Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I switched to Allstate from State farm because of the points on my license , state farm was raping me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I used to have Allstate, and I will NEVER go w/ them again, not matter what rate they offer me. They have screwed me pretty badly on a couple of claims. Their rates weren't all that great either. I have State Farm now. I had American Family previous to that, but couldn't find a good agent w/ them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Call on the bike today...they're not very competative on bike rates which will likely keep you with State Farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I've had Allstate for about 8yrs now. I like the fact that I can walk into my agents office for assistance. I've filed a few claims and had problems at all. The rates are good, I have 4 vehicles and my house insured thru them. Although I have heard horror stories but then again I think everyone has a story to tell about every company. State Farm does have a pretty good rep though. If you need an Allstate agent in the Hilliard area, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotrodmama024 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Dont go to Allstate. They actually dropped me after 2 weeks, saying my car was to much Horse power to handle. MY friend worked there as well. Go to Nationwide. They have had the best service, and better prices i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 They actually dropped me after 2 weeks, saying my car was to much Horse power to handle.

smokin5s Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Dont go to Allstate. They actually dropped me after 2 weeks, saying my car was to much Horse power to handle. MY friend worked there as well. Go to Nationwide. They have had the best service, and better prices i think. That's weird, they have never said anything about that to me and they know that mine is mod'd.... STAY AWAY from Nationwide... they will screw you over every chance they get. I had an accident and a speeding ticket within a year and they raised my rates to over 600 a month... and they never fixed my car right and I took it to a "blue ribbon" shop... F NATIONWIDE! P.S. that place sucks to work for too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 ok, I take back any good thing I've ever said about All State... their customer service sucks! I needed a simple change done and after 3 phone calls, it's STILL not done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Allstate was pretty cheap for me, but their customer service is just pitiful. And if you file a claim, your rates jump by 50% for 3 years, they drop a ton of pressure on you to have the car fixed by their selected shop (I.E. no OEM dealer parts, just generic), and your second claim in that 3 year period guarantees that you will be dropped. If your car is totalled, they will offer about 1/3 of blue book, and bombard you with an endless list of "equivalent" examples of your car sold at lowball prices from newspapers from cities far far away. Example: 94 Dodge Spirit, 3.0V6/4 speed auto, most options but no ABS, 94k on the odo and the car was PERFECT inside and out. Blue book was 3500 at the time, they offered $1100, and tried to tell me that a stripper 90 Acclaim with 160k and a 2.2/auto was equivalent.
