Auto Insurance Review

National General Auto Insurance Review

National General is Allstate's non-standard and specialty subsidiary, acquired in 2021. It writes a broader risk pool than Allstate's main book — non-standard auto, RV, motorcycle, and lender-placed coverage — across all 50 states. For non-standard risk it's a legitimate option; for standard-risk drivers, mainstream carriers will price better.
