How much should I pay?
For most insurance policy types, you can pay any amount between the "minimum amount due" and the "pay in full", as indicated on your bill. For life insurance policies, you should pay the full amount due as indicated on your bill.
How can I find out when my payment has been applied?
For most policy types, you can check your account status online, contact your agent or call 1-800-ALLSTATE to see when your payment was applied. It generally takes 24 to 48 hours for your online payment to be reflected on your policy.

Can I make one payment for multiple insurance policies?
No. Policies are billed and must be paid separately. When you pay your bill online or over the phone you will receive a distinct reference number for your records.
Can I make multiple payments for one insurance policy during a single billing period?
Yes. To avoid late payments or lapses in coverage, just make sure the "minimum amount due" has been paid by the due date on your bill.
What do I do with a refund check I have not yet cashed?
We realize that your check may not have been cashed due to a number of reasons. If you would like us to reissue the check, please provide any necessary updates to your personal information. In some cases, we may have to request proof of identification.
Can I access my insurance card online and print it?
You may select 'Request Auto ID Card' in the 'I Want To' drop down in My Account. Here you will have the option to either have the ID card mailed to you or print an ID card if it's allowed in your state.
