Joe Schneider: Allstate Insurance

Local Allstate Agent: Meet Joe Schneider

I’ve lived in Chicago since 2004, and I’m still amazed at how much this city has to offer. Whether I'm spending a day with my wife and daughter at the Museum of Science and Industry, walking our dogs through the neighborhood, riding my bike or cheering for the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks, I’m proud that this is our home. Chicago truly is a world-class city, and opening my Allstate Insurance agency here in 2005 made perfect sense.

I love the hard-working, fun-loving people here, which is why my agency is about more than insurance. Community service is paramount to us, and each team member gets three days a year to volunteer with local charities. We also donate $10 for every customer referral, and we've raised enough to do things like adapt a car for a local cancer survivor with visual impairments. As a cancer survivor for more than 20 years, I support Imerman Angels, the local chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Livestrong Foundation and Love Hope Strength. I also participate in "Movember" each year to raise money for prostate cancer research and men’s health.

People are the foundation of everything my team and I do. We are here to help customers choose an auto, condo, renters or small business policy that is right for them and to support them when they have questions or file a claim. (We also speak Spanish and Romanian and can work with you in the language you prefer.) We’re near North Avenue Beach, between the Sedgwick and North and Clybourn “L” stops — stop by or call us today!

Products we offer:

Auto Insurance in Chicago
Close Auto insurance modal
Helps protect you and your vehicle if you’re involved in a car accident. At a minimum, you’ll likely need bodily injury liability and property damage liability to meet state auto insurance coverage requirements and help protect your finances if you cause an accident that injures another driver or damages their property. We also offer uninsured motorist coverage to help with your expenses if you’re hit by a driver without insurance. If you’re looking for coverage to help protect your vehicle, you might want to consider collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, which help pay repair costs if your car is damaged in a covered loss. And, optional coverages, like new car replacement coverage or loan/lease gap coverage help protect your investment in a brand-new car. I can help you choose a combination of coverages that fulfill state requirements and meet your needs. Give me a call to get a car insurance quote today!

Allstate Business Insurance protects your business in ways other insurance might not.

In addition to these basic coverages, the Allstate Business Owners Policy can be customized with additional protection to help cover more aspects of your business. I can help you tailor a policy to fit your small business’s needs. As a small business owner myself, I understand how important it is to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build. Call me for a free review of your current business policy and to learn more about insurance solutions to help protect you, your business and your employees.

If your ATV is damaged in a crash, collision coverage may help. Collision coverage for your ATV helps pay for repairs if you hit another object, such as a fence or a tree. Finally, you may want to consider comprehensive coverage for your ATV in case it’s stolen, vandalized or damaged by hail or fire. Give me a call to get a quote on an ATV insurance policy today!

Property coverage for your boat helps cover a crash with another boat or object (like a pier or buoy). It also helps cover theft, vandalism or fire. Help protect your boat against these covered perils during the on- and off-season. We also offer additional coverage for things like your boat trailer, fishing equipment and even towing or fuel delivery when you’re stranded. Need a boat insurance quote? Give me a call today!
