If we’re to believe what we’re told. I don’t believe you have filed multiple at fault collision claims within 2 years and have not seen a rate increase without some extenuating reason.

Bankrate doesn’t either:

It’s also possible that it just hasn’t been factored into your renewal yet, but multiple collision claims will result in a rate increase, and could result in a non renewal. I suppose it’s also possible you have some sort of accident forgiveness rider

It would be wrong for your carrier to not raise your rates with multiple claims, because that means that drivers insured by your carrier who have no claims are subsidizing your claims in their rates.

I can understand where AJT123 is coming from. Some insurance companies (GEICO is one of them) have a One-Accident-Forgiveness policy where you don't get higher rates for just one chargeable claim (or an at-fault accident) within, say, five years or so. It's true, as Steve points out, that insurance companies don't like to lose money.....but they also don't like angry customers that complain and give the company a bad name.

Eh, if he is a long time consistent paying customer I can see it. Far less unfair than taxes lol!

I could not possibly care less that you don't take me for my word. You always argue with me and end up eating your words. You told me the tires wouldn't ever quiet down once I switched my LS430 rims to the 18s with tires on it.. I said "no way, give it a minute." They got silent within a thousand miles or so-- about exactly what I predicted. I used to say the LS would be killed after this one and you told me I was wrong, several times. Now you agree. You told me gas would never go below $4, it is. It'll go down more eventually if things go certain way, look for it to drop within a year or two. You're smart enough to know that in 2030 there will still be an abundance of new V8 Chevy trucks, back when we made that bet the EV crowd really did believe they were going to take over----I think you're on to way to losing that silly wager with me as well.

That said though why would I lie??? You specifically kept saying "they're gonna drop you" and I kept saying "no they aren't." It's rude to basically call someone a liar.

Also my insurance just renewed in February , wrong there too. It's my homeowner's insurance that's gone up, not car. But apparently homeowners insurance has increased for everyone.

I'd really not like to be asked to leave this thread bc that's what's next. If you don't believe me, fine.

Thats very possible, but in that case one is paying way more than you could pay for insurance somewhere else, and that factors into their loss/revenue calculation too.

I was with Allstate for 15+ years, and when I shopped around I was paying dramatically more than I had to be, when I switched to Progressive it was 2/3rds cheaper.

Now over the last year or so I have had two claims, my wife’s at fault collision claim and we had a water claim in our house. Rates went up dramatically on both (part of that is rising rate climates in general), so I shopped it around again and rates everywhere else are much higher than I am paying now because of the claims.

Point is you’re gonna pay for claims one way or the other, so be careful what you file a claim for.

Agreed @AJT123 I did not intend to call you a liar, I said there had to be some sort of extenuating reason why your insurance company has not raised your rates.

Were you able to find a painted mirror?

Let me know if you want me to get you a local referral for PDR from my guy.

I like how you incorporated a car in that GIF so it stays on topic!
