Insurance Allstate Company
Thank you for choosing Allstate. We value you, respect your privacy and work hard to protect your personal information.
- Allstate’s insurance plans are by far the most comprehensive and at a fair price. You may be able to find cheaper rates at some of the other insurers, but you get what you pay for, I.E. Slower claims, poor customer service, inaccessible agents. After being with 2 other insurers I’m sticking with Allstate.
- We love Allstate and were with them for our weekly and vanished weekly claims. Loved our agent, but the price was high for what we had and we had to move it will be Allstate.
- I have been an Allstate customer for 14 years with a safe driving record and had a very modest increase of $ 15 increase for the year. Not bad for a 14 year period. I carry their best policy with low deductiblesM
- Allstate is the best company, no doubt. Just because you have a bad agent does not mean it’s a bad company.
