For the past iii years Allstate has been requiring the wife and I submit odometer readings annually for the vehicles on that policy. Geico does non. Now they are request for how many times we bulldoze into work or to schoolhouse each week and what the altitude is.

Seems like a lot of forced data mining as Allstate, via threat, that they will utilise a prepare metric if nosotros practise non reply, which is usually within 2 weeks of notice. But what is worse is nosotros have to reply by snail mail, fax or phone, iii of the oldest forms of advice today.

We cannot log into our Allstate business relationship and submit the information. Nosotros cannot employ email. These are deemed evil by Allstate, but I want to know if others are beingness forced to do this every bit well and if this takes place with other carriers.

BTW, I got into a heated substitution with an Allstate agent a couple of years ago. They raised the rate on our pickup by 15% with no plausible reason why. It was a xiv year old truck at the time (now 16). We've been paying for full coverage (on all vehicles). I wound up removing the truck and putting it on Geico. Saved 23%, got more coverage and the allotted annual mileage allowance went from 12K to 18K.

But nosotros still have our two sedans on the Allstate policy. I work from home 3 to iv days a calendar week and only drive, on boilerplate, 1.v times per calendar week using the older of the two sedans and the other is for personal utilise ('weekend car'). Allstate seems to hate this in that they want to forcefulness customers into higher premium roles like all high-mileage for piece of work/school use.

And before ane asks why non dump Allstate information technology is because of our homeowner's policy. Allstate doesn't sell it anymore and information technology greatly benefits the insured more than the insurer. Not letting them off that easy.

We have State Farm, and are on their <7500 mile policy for our vehicles. I have to verify mileage every couple of years.

Exactly. If you want cheaper low-mileage insurance, then you take to really claim in writing that you are driving depression mileage (in writing since it is a legal statement that may need to hold up in court).

Otherwise, they merely automatically lump you into the high-mileage loftier-cost insurance.

For the past three years Allstate has been requiring the wife and I submit odometer readings annually for the vehicles on that policy. Geico does non. Now they are asking for how many times nosotros drive into work or to school each calendar week and what the distance is.

Seems like a lot of forced information mining every bit Allstate, via threat, that they will apply a gear up metric if we exercise not respond, which is usually inside 2 weeks of notice. But what is worse is nosotros have to respond past snail mail, fax or phone, three of the oldest forms of communication today.

We cannot log into our Allstate account and submit the information. Nosotros cannot use email. These are deemed evil by Allstate, but I want to know if others are existence forced to do this too and if this takes place with other carriers.

BTW, I got into a heated exchange with an Allstate agent a couple of years ago. They raised the rate on our pickup by 15% with no plausible reason why. It was a xiv twelvemonth old truck at the time (at present 16). We've been paying for full coverage (on all vehicles). I wound up removing the truck and putting information technology on Geico. Saved 23%, got more coverage and the allotted annual mileage allowance went from 12K to 18K.

But we yet have our two sedans on the Allstate policy. I work from domicile three to four days a week and only bulldoze, on average, one.5 times per week using the older of the two sedans and the other is for personal apply ('weekend car'). Allstate seems to detest this in that they want to force customers into college premium roles like all loftier-mileage for work/schoolhouse utilize.

And before one asks why not dump Allstate information technology is because of our homeowner's policy. Allstate doesn't sell it anymore and information technology greatly benefits the insured more than the insurer. Not letting them off that easy.

I would tell Allstate to pound sand if they asked for all that information, and then I'd promptly switch insurance companies. That is just ridiculous to take to submit all that information.

And I'one thousand sure this could happen with any insurance company depending on the location/person beingness insured, but withal, F that.

Find an insurance broker who will shop for you, could find some pretty proficient coverages and rates that mode.

Learn something new everyday! Did not know there were policies for low mileage drivers. Interesting.

Have never been asked to verify mileage by any insurer we've been with over the years but have always been asked how many miles per year is the car typically driven and for what purpose. (School, work, pleasance.) Been asked these questions for literally decades.

Yep...IMO, totally normal since it affects the risk...which affects the toll.

I had to exercise that several times with State Farm. Merely I'm at present with Amica and they haven't asked me yet. But I don't accept a trouble of giving them the info if they request it.

I stated the reason why I wasn't going to switch.

BTW, only 1 vehicle on our policy is claimed as <7500 miles per year as it was the weekend car and we are putting less than 5K/year on information technology. Now Allstate demands this reporting on all vehicles on the policy even if a vehicle isn't in the <7500/year category. It is simply another Allstate bullish methodology of abusing people.

Nevertheless, I tin't wait for a natural disaster to take my habitation out. Allstate volition take to replace it regardless of cost. I stand by this is why we are being treated as such because they want that policy terminated and replaced with one that benefits them.

BTW, but i vehicle on our policy is claimed equally <7500 miles per year every bit it was the weekend car and we are putting less than 5K/year on information technology. At present Allstate demands this reporting on all vehicles on the policy even if a vehicle isn't in the <7500/year category. It is just another Allstate bullish methodology of abusing people.

Still, I can't wait for a natural disaster to take my domicile out. Allstate will have to replace it regardless of cost. I stand up by this is why we are being treated as such because they want that policy terminated and replaced with 1 that benefits them.

Every bit long as you have sufficient coverage, whatsoever insurance company is going to supersede your home if it's destroyed. I don't understand why you recall the Allstate home coverage you have is somehow special.

They might not offer information technology specifically but obviously the more you drive the more than chances you have of something happening and then information technology only makes sense to cost insurance based on how much you drive.

I tin can only go by what my retired agent said. He said Allstate stopped writing the policy I accept because it greatly benefited the customer than the company and actively had been scamming clients to reissue policies. Something about roofing much, much more than than the current crop of policies they sell. Even the replacement agent that bought my previous amanuensis's practice said the same thing. Something about upwardly-to limits on electric current offered polices as to any-it-costs that is mine. Their example was while I paid for and have coverage for what the fair market place value might be, if they had to replacement it for 100X that they would be obligated to. I wasn't going to contend on that point.

Allstate is not the best in my feel, only if yous call up y'all are stuck with them, well, you may as well just submit to whatever cavity search they desire.

My insurer, Farm Bureau, does no such thing.

Insurance companies love to just raise rates yearly for depression mileage drivers, they volition bump your mileage up. They figure a certain percentage will just pay it. Insurance companies are the fucking devil.

I've never had a homeowners policy that was written to encompass more than one twelvemonth. When the year is up, information technology's renewal time. The contract is essentially cleaved and and so rewritten with whatsoever endorsements are in play at the time along with whatever endorsements I cull to add together.

I recollect somebody is confused.
