Default Car Insurance went up 50%

Has anyone else had their car ins go up that high without having any accidents or tickets?? If so have you found another agent of company yet?
Btw, why doesn’t this forum show up in my emails anymore?

Lots of people. Insurance companies punish loyalty. I switched from Allstate to State Farm after 27 years and got a premium that was half the cost of Allstate. Shop around and find a better deal.

Did you have a milestone birthday?
Did you move to a new zip code?
Does your insurance company think you are a loyal customer and unlikely to move?

Insurance rates are set by those factors as well as your accident record.

I did and when I spoke to Hartford they said expect this all over FL. Claims, law suit and insurance companies pulling out of FL.

Policy creep. They all do it.
Time to go shopping.
Insurance companies are cheats.

Mine neither. We must have ticked off the moderator at one point. Have you ever been in TOTV jail? That will definitely get your daily email cancelled. I haven't but apparently I committed a minor offense.

Nope. I've ticked off more than one Moderator and I'm also a ToTV Jail Recidivist, yet I still get my daily emails...

Do you get online code to change car insurance or do you actually talk to an agent via telephone for quotes?

You might want to check your SPAM file on a daily basis. An email provider often considers mass mailings as SPAM and will remove it. If it's there mark it as approved or friendly and that should take care of the problem.

If that doesn't pan out, then I don't know what to tell you.

I had not used an insurance agent in years, but recently scheduled an appointment with The Villages Insurance to get some quotes. I found out I was already getting a better than average deal on homeowners insurance, but was able to save about 30% on my auto & umbrella policies by switching to another major insurer & still have the same coverage. The agent found me a way better deal than I was able to find by myself through the online sites.

Mine has not gone up. I use a broker Insurance Services of Central Florida… Insurance Services of Central Florida | Insurance Ocoee FL | Auto Home Commercial Insurance, ask for Sarah. She runs the office. I use SafeCo for my car and golf cart insurance.

She says home owners insurance is going up due to excessive litigation in Florida and we need tort reform, not sure about auto insurance. Maybe you have a bundle and the home is taking the auto up with it.

The personal injury law firms should be throttled. People see "Free Money" and we all pay for those million dollar lawsuits.
