More than just a brand of tire
Allstate Insurance Company started at a time when people needed both insurance and reassurance: in the midst of the Great Depression. It was 1931 when Robert E. Wood, a retired U.S. Army Brigadier General and the Sears, Roebuck & Co. president and board chairman, started an auto insurance company. Allstate was named after Sears' then-popular brand of tires, Allstate.
It's been a pretty smooth ride ever since. With the popular slogan, “You’re in good hands with Allstate,” it is the second-largest home insurance company in the nation and serves more than 16 million households. Allstate provides a wealth of insurance coverage, especially focusing on auto, life and homeowner's insurance.
Consider Allstate for bundling and concerns about rising premiums
The more insurance you get with Allstate, the more you can save. In fact, when you have both auto and home insurance through Allstate, you can save up to 25 percent off your auto premiums and up to 35 percent off your home premiums.
Allstate will also let you purchase extra features that will help keep your premiums low if you end up filing a claim. For instance, they have "Claim RateGuard," which means if you have to file a claim, your rates won't go up. Considering insurance premiums can easily go up 15 to 25 percent after filing, it may give you peace of mind to get Claim RateGuard. And that's what Allstate and all insurers are trying to give consumers – peace of mind.
