Alstate insurance is one of the largest insurance carriers in the country and in new york! They have hundreds (thousands?) of agents representing them around the country. The great thing about Alstate car insurance is that you can bundle your auto with your home insurance. This helps you save money. It's also nice (sometime) to deal with people instead of buying online.

You have to work with a local agent to purchase allstate car insurance in new york. You can't buy it directly from them. Dealing with agents (even alstate agents) is a pain - you have to call, wait for them to call you back, give them your information, have them call you back with questions, etc, etc to finally get your rate and policy set-up. It takes a lot of time, and you end up with a policy that is more expensive than you like. The other issue I have with Allstate car insurance is their claims handling. Living in new york it's essential to have good car insurance - people get into accidents. I had too claims with them and it took forever for them to get my claim processed. Car insurance is supposed to work faster! Allstate works slowly - the first person who was assigned to handle my claim never picked up his phone and didn't return my calls. Eventually I was transferred over to two other people but never informed of either of these transfers. When I called my agent to get it resolved he was rude. It was frustrating!
