Annual Insurance Cost Increases?
What rate increases are you seeing?
All things considered similar to the prior year, no Claims, no credit changes, ect. My Amica auto policy is slated to increase 9.6% and bundled Amica homeowners is going up 12.6% So much for this "1%" inflation rate, my property taxes increase 10% a year no matter what, home auto and umbrella insurance seems to be similar, I don't even bother looking at how much Health insurance costs have increased but it's beyond 10%. My internet just went up 9.3% Let's not even talk about Federal income taxes WTF, seriously this shit is out pacing my COLA increases at work, so I'm just here treading water, f'kin bullshit. It seems like it's time to shop around again, State Farm was giving similar increases which is why I left them in the first place. I guess that brings me to another question, how often do you change insurance companies? |

I've been with State Farm for 30+ years. It's high, IMO, but they don't quibble when repairs are needed. About 15 years ago I had a hail storm ruin the roof on my house. Repair companies were overwhelmed, and the bill came to over $24,000 to replace the roof. State Farm paid without an argument.

I've had a 6% increase each year the past 3 years. I was told the population increase down here was to blame. More snow birds come screw up traffic for 6 months then leave. Geico has been the least expensive, have had them for almost a year. Allstate prior to them. I do shop every 6 months.

I'm with Spence. State Farm for everything for more than 25 years. With one exception they have been hassle free. After speaking to a couple acquaintances in the industry, we may have expected too much in that one instance. Unless they exit the auto business soon like our local agent suggests, we plan to continue our coverage there.

I am about to leave Amica. They were great after Hurricane Ike, and I've had them ever since, but they just finished pricing me out of the market. Over 4K for a nothing special 2,8xx square foot house, and the insult after injury just came when they quoted me over 2K a year for a 2016 Chevy Cruze.....a beater car, and that's just comp, collision and liability, not all the other goodies. Their claims folks were great, but it feels like they WANT me to go elsewhere, which I will. New homeowner's will be $ 1,8xx/ year, and the car will be $ 4xx every 6 months, although I will shop that better next time. Seems high.

Six-month auto policy dropped $2 a year ago, and dropped 6% on the renewal I just paid.
Homeowners hasn't changed much in the 4 1/2 years we've been in this house, and we had a hail claim for about $30k. |
