Allstate Auto Insurance Review [2025]: Proven and Reasonably Priced

You've probably heard commercials and advertising for Allstate's famous "you're in good hands" slogan. Although it seems like the company is everywhere right now, it has a long history of selling insurance products.

Allstate is one of the biggest car insurance companies around and is available in all 50 states. Allstate has extensive auto coverage options and discounts to help customers customize their coverage and get only what they need. It also has an extensive network of local agents to help customers who want to deal with someone directly.

Despite all the options, be aware that customer complaints are higher than the industry average, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners complaint index — though only slightly — and that Allstate scored lower than the study average on the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study. That being said, it has an A+ rating for financial strength from AM Best, which is always a good thing.

How we evaluate products

FinanceBuzz researches a number of factors in each auto insurance provider to create our reviews. These factors include cost and discounts, complaints and customer satisfaction, coverage, and ease of use. We also gather information from sources such as Insurify, J.D. Power, AM Best, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), and the Better Business Bureau to ensure we provide the most useful information to our readers.

Allstate pros and cons

How much does Allstate cost?

Car insurance premiums are based on various factors, including your driving record, your age, gender, location, and, in some states, your credit score. Allstate, on average, offers affordable policies for a range of driver types.

Compare these numbers to the national averages below to get an idea of just how much cheaper Allstate is, especially for those with a spotty driving record.

Is Allstate car insurance good?

Company ratings:

• AM Best: A+
• J.D. Power claims satisfaction: 691/1,000
• BBB: A+
• NAIC complaints: 1.02 (Private Passenger)

Allstate performs slightly below average on the various industry metrics we review when assessing insurers. The company gets an A+ for financial strength from AM Best and an A+ from the Better Business Bureau — both marks in its favor.

It also registers only slightly above the expected number of complaints per the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) complaint index. The NAIC complaint index compares insurance providers based on how many complaints they receive relative to a given year's study average across the industry.

The NAIC calculates this by dividing the company's share of complaints by the total countrywide, with the national index set at 1.00, which means that a company with an index of 2.00 would have twice the expected number of complaints. Allstates comes in at 1.02, which indicates it's right about in line with the expected number of complaints.

It did perform below average on the 2024 J.D. Power U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study, scoring 691 out of 1,000 against the study average of 697. For comparison, the top-scoring company, NJM, got a 782 out of 1,000.

Various factors affect car insurance premiums, including your driving record, your age, gender, and location, and, in some states, your credit score.

Allstate vs. competitors

When compared to national averages and most of its competitors, Allstate falls on the more affordable side of things. Every driver's rate is going to be different based on the discounts they qualify for and their record of accidents, speeding tickets, and other incidents, but on the whole, Allstate offers quite reasonable policies.

Allstate vs. Progressive

Again, your final rate will vary on a range of factors, including the types and levels of coverage you need, choosing to get insurance from Allstate is likely to be cheaper than getting it from Progressive.

Allstate's monthly average premium for full-coverage auto insurance is $128, according to Insurify, versus Progresive's $142. Both are cheaper than the national average of $199 per month, though.

Allstate's monthly average for liability-only coverage is just $60, compared to Progressive's $98 and the national average of $105.

Allstate vs. Liberty Mutual

Allstate is even more affordable when you compare its average rates to Liberty Mutual's. For full-coverage, Liberty charges an average of $241 a month. For liability-only, Liberty Mutual charges $166 per month.

That's just over $100 a month more than Allstate for liability-only and well over $100 more per month than Allstate for full-coverage.
