last year my insurance was $1200 a year. it jumped up to $2040 a year now. wtf! btw im 17, been driving for a year, no accidents, no tickets, 94 accord sedan. I have the most basic coverage too. my insurance company is Safeco, i went to other places like 21st and Mercury and they said the insurance rate would be that high also. i asked them why and they said that accidents involving 17 yr olds increased dramtically last year. this is so gay. im not gonna be able to pay insurance.

is this right? or are they just BSing me. is there any other insurance companies that will give me a low rate?

the lizard is a god

 

:werd: Thats who I have mine through. Alot cheaper than anyone else I could find.

 

geico has shafted a lot of people i know on claims.

but thats bullshit. if youre clean why the fawk should your ins go up? this is one damn fine racket theyre running.

keep looking for a better deal!

and FWIW, my insurance is 3k a year just for my civic. its 4k with my alfa romeo, and it will be like 5-6k a year with my other civic and motorcycle.

 

But a Civic isn't worth 3k to begin with

seriously why such high rates Fuji cuz that ridiculous.

 

the accident rate for 17 year olds going up since last year? hmmm,..could it be,..whats that damn movie called,..hmmm,...

 

Its not that your rate went up everyone's rate went up so they just raise everyone's premiums to adjust for the claim volume increase, and the amount of money they had to pay out in claims. it sucks balls but that is how the insurance companies make their money. I work inside a claim center in Mass and last winter there were so many claims it was insane. So of course all the Mass premiums went up for the following year.
