Have always had very reasonable rates and good service from All-Boro Brokerage. In the middle of Brooklyn, and far more inexpensive than anything else we've found. I forget their exact address, but they're in the phone book. Good luck with your search.

Cornetor,

I was dropped by Allstate as were many New York State residents who did not have multiple policies (i.e. auto &car.) A class action lawsuit was filed against Allstate on behalf New Yorkers. A settlement has been reached and basically these are the terms: You can call Allstate and they will reinstate your policy but you will then forfeit the right to a monetary settlement which would be miniscule anyway or opt out all together and await a monetary settlement.

If you decide to have the policy reinstated, you will not be required to pay for the first year up front.

The number to call is 1-800-255-7828. Tell them that you want your policy reinstated under the terms of the class action suit.
