You cannot turn on your television without seeing an ad for Allstate Auto Insurance. The spokesperson says, "Be accident free for six months, and Allstate will send you a 5% (of your premium) check as a bonus."
I was an Allstate Auto Insurance customer for more than 15 years, but I never got a check from them, ever. Plus, their premiums were just about double what other reliable companies charge for the same coverage.
I finally saw the light and got a quote from a very well-known company, and now my six-month premium for the exact same coverage is less than one half of what it would have been with Allstate had I stayed with them.
Does the local agent just put that bonus check into his own pocket?
I also see that Allstate has a very spotty record of not "doing the right thing" and not "keeping you in good hands" when it comes time for them to pay a legitimate insurance claim.
I am glad I went elsewhere, and if you were halfway smart, you would do the same.
My agent is Billy Rowe, Joplin, Missouri, and I was not at all happy with their prices, coverage, or service. I guess Billy has also seen the handwriting on the wall, as he has just sold his business to another agent who will continue to fleece their customers.
