We have Farmer's for our house, car, motorcycle, truck and toy hauler. We pay $360 a year for the trailer.
Just cancelled Farmers today.
6 month policies.........and every renewal it has gone up $20-30 for past 2 yrs.
Last OCT renewal I asked agent WHY.....no accidents, no violations, no parking tickets, no claims, no changes in coverage etc.
He couldn't explain WHY but stated "Cancel policy and then apply for coverage and I can get up new member rate"
Well I didn't do anything at that time except start checking around for coverage. Got the new renewal for APR and it had increased another $26
SO pulled out other quotes went back on-line and verified quotes were still valid.
Signed up/purchased new coverage (same/same) with Hartford today and sent Farmers Agent a cancellation good bye e-mail (Hartford for 12 month was less than Farmers 6 month and was identical coverage etc)
I dislike Insurance but it is 'needed'
I hate when Insurances play games with premiums especially when no claims, no violations, no changes except everything insured is a year older.
I will no longer stay with any Insurance company just out of 'loyalty'
HA! Show me the money-----as in hold the premiums/decrease them or at least have a reasonable excuse for increase. HA!
