I did the same thing after seeing their TV commerical (I had Allstate
too).
After 15 minutes on the phone, the kind man said: "If you'll hold on one
second,
I'll have your quote".  Then complete silence, "What's the matter I
ask?".
"Well sir, this is the highest quote I've ever seen".  This was for
2 cars in Philadelphia which is very expensive for auto insurance.  "OK,
how much I ask?".  "Well $5400 for 6 months! (Jeep and Honda)".

I got a good laugh out of that.  Seems that they can't legally deny
insuring
people in Philadelphia, but if they make the rates high enough....

I've since switched to ITT Hartford (http://www.itthartford.com) from
Allstate and knocked 40% off auto and 40% off homeowners.
