Our take
Allstate insurance is a good choice if you’re looking for a company with a strong track record for customer service and claims satisfaction. But that reputation comes at a high price. Among the top 15 insurers in our Best Car Insurance Companies of 2024 list, Allstate was the second most expensive, only slightly cheaper than CSAA Insurance Group (AAA).
It does come with a solid financial position and very few complaints filed with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), so you will have to weigh getting a low price against a solid reputation.

Allstate insurance rates for seniors
Adult drivers typically see their insurance rates steadily decline as they get older. That trend begins to level off approaching the age of 65 and rises again for the oldest drivers on the road.
Car insurance companies base their rates on risk profiles, and unfortunately, there is evidence that driving becomes riskier as we age. This may be related to slower reflexes, weaker eyesight, or other factors and will certainly vary from driver to driver.
For that reason, expect to see your rates begin to increase as you reach 65, but it will not be nearly as steep as the rates you saw in your teens and Allstate tends to increase car insurance rates for seniors less than some competitors.
Here’s what a senior can expect to pay with Allstate at various ages:
Age | Average yearly premiums, male | Average yearly premiums. female |
---|---|---|
60 | $2,309 | $2,286 |
65 | $2,363 | $2,341 |
70 | $2,445 | $2,415 |
75 | $2,666 | $2,629 |
Allstate insurance rates by driver profile
Insurance companies invest a lot of resources into analyzing data and have extensive risk profiles of drivers at every age, stage of life and gender. Your driving record is another good indicator of your risk profile, and they also consider some factors you may not have considered, such as your credit rating.
Here’s a look at what drivers with common negative marks on their profiles can expect to pay for full coverage insurance with Allstate compared to rates for drivers with clean records. Poor credit will have the biggest impact on rates, but an at-fault accident is not far behind.
Clean record | At-fault accident | Speeding ticket | Poor credit rating |
---|---|---|---|
$2,509 | $4,149 | $2,965 | $4,177 |
