Allstate Updates Texas Auto Rates

Allstate is updating its private passenger auto program in Texas with a 3.9% rate increase, reflecting a continued push toward rate adequacy while moderating the pace of increases.

The filing, submitted April 2, 2026, takes effect April 13, 2026 for new business and May 28, 2026 for renewals. The increase comes in below the indicated need of 12.8%, applying to 494,634 policyholders and about $2.25 billion in written premium, generating roughly $87.9 million in additional premium.

The update is driven by revisions to rate adjustment factors at the core of the pricing model, alongside a non-impactful reordering of supplementary multiplicative factor tables. The broader structure remains highly segmented, incorporating variables such as driver classification, mileage, vehicle characteristics, household composition, prior insurance, and behavioral indicators, reinforcing a granular, factor-driven approach.

Mileage-based segmentation remains a key component, including distinctions between verified and unverified mileage and support for different usage types such as standard and pay-per-mile structures, pointing to continued investment in usage-sensitive pricing.

The program also relies on third-party data from LexisNexis, TransUnion, Carfax, Highway Loss Data Institute, and Arity to support rating across credit, driving history, mileage, vehicle characteristics, and telematics.
