Ok, last year due to "total rate adjustements for all State Farm policy holders" my insurance went up almost $300. Now I get my 6 month renewal and it went up another $100 for no reason. No accidents, no claims, I've been with them for almost 10 years now.

I guess they only made $15 million in profit last year, they better buckle down. And ofcourse when I call the office they say there's nothing they can do. When is CCA gonna start their own insurance company? I want to switch. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

My insurance comes due at the end of October this year. Over this last year, I was paying $1,300 ... the year before was $2,100. I turned the magic 25 so that is the reason for the big dip. I only have one speeding ticket ever and that had no effect according to the insurance agent when I talked to them. We'll see what happens when my renewal comes in.

State Farm?? I thought that was US insurance only. I guess I'm in the dark here having gov't run insurance. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Rates seem to be at a slow climb as concerns ICBC for my car. From $907/yr for 2002 to $940/yr for 2003.

Call a broker, they will be able to give you a better deal than statefarm could. My broker has me with a company "Pilot" I'm paying $40/mo less there then with Statefarm - thats $480/yr.

You're the customer, you have the right to shop. If you've been with the company for that long and they are still hosing you saying they can't do any better than that, find a new company.

Maybe pilot takes a lot of "high-riskers" but I am not a risk - No tickets, no at-fault accidents - nothing. My wife - the same. Maybe because pilot takes a lot of "high-risk" clients a person like me with nothing on the record can benefit from lower rates (What I mean is, the high-risk pay through the nose because no one else will insure them, so the company has extra dough around to pass savings on to low riskers)

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe my thinking is messed, or maybe I am a high risk by sheer fact that I am 24 and male

Hope no pigs here , got some merchandise to hide , Upper Canada we roll ...

Try Belair -Direct If you in Ontario n Quebec , or any other ING Direct group for wherever you are . Haven't hurd nything bout Geico but they 2 should be Mob Amphibian connected .

Belair saves me a tonnacash over my broker , as the useless middle man get's cut out who seemed to be on my payroll yet never did anything usefull for me but have me pay twice the money I do with the direct approach guys . Don't mean to be cheap but why do I need to be feeding the broker , let them get a real jobs , like be the hardest working candy in town .
