What is the Allstate phone number?

Allstate does not have a set time limit for filing claims and will consider a claim even if it is filed months or years after the incident occurred. However, Allstate is more likely to deny a claim if the delay was unreasonable or if it compromised their ability to investigate.

Your Allstate car insurance policy likely requires you to report an accident “promptly” or “as soon as possible.” But even though you have to immediately report the accident, that does not mean you have to immediately file a claim. In fact, you can wait 1-10 years to file a claim, depending on your state’s laws and the type of claim you need to file.

It’s important to keep in mind that the longer you wait to file a claim, the more difficult it will be for your insurance company to investigate and approve it. Filing a claim as soon as possible helps to ensure that everyone remembers the details of the accident and the evidence is still intact, so your claim is less likely to be challenged.

Allstate allows you to file a claim online, over the phone, or through the mobile app. If you have any questions, you can call customer service at 1-800-255-7828.

No, you cannot cancel your Allstate insurance policy online because Allstate requires all policies to be canceled over the phone (by calling at 1-800-676-5456). Allstate insurance policies can be canceled at any time, with a cancellation fee.

Allstate Roadside Assistance Includes:

• Towing up to $150 (up to $250 for elite members)
• Jump Starts
• Fuel Delivery
• Lockout Service
• Tire Changes
• Trip interruption

Allstate roadside assistance is meant to help drivers in need of immediate rescue, but it usually does not pay for the underlying problem, such as engine repairs or a battery that needs replacing. Additionally, Allstate roadside assistance only covers three rescues per year for Advantage subscribers and five rescues per year for Elite subscribers.

Purchasing roadside assistance from your car insurance company is usually less expensive than a motor club membership from a company such as AAA. However, it might not provide as much coverage.
