Allstate (homeowners) avoid

[tcrist]

I had Allstate for 15 years on my house with 2 claims. A fence and one time there was a water leak under my kitchen sink. They covered it with no problems and no rate hike. My car insurance was with State Farm for 20 years. Had 4 claims with them. 1 stolen car (my sons) and 3 accidents (the wife , go figure) only one was her fault. When I wanted to put all of my insurance together I checked with Allstate and State Farm . Allstate wanted $500.00 more per year than State Farm. I now have State Farm for my auto and house insurance.

Terry,

Mine was just the other way around. I had State Farm on the cars for about 17 years and never a claim but I had Allstate on the house. State Farm just kept raising my rates every 6 months until I called them as I had been on their lowest tier for years. They had no real excuse for my rates being so high so I called Allstate to see what they would charge and it was about $200 a year less on the car plus they lowered my house insurance by over $175 a year by me having the cars and house together, so I now pay about $400 a year less. Of course. like all things, the rates goes up every year.
