I will check other insurers when I get there. How does this new rate compare with what others are paying.
I may be wrong (it's happened before ) but if Philadelphia has state income tax you would probably be better off being a resident of Florida..the money you will save on taxes would help to offset the difference. Also, as everyone has suggested, shop around!
