Take a look at this article from Forbes. Basically reiterates what is happening with rates over the past five years.

The interesting part about all these "reasons" - well, none apply to us (and probably more RV folks too) -- we don't drive long miles in a year, we don't DUI, we don't text and drive, or even talk and drive - etc. We don't drive in storms either - we sit them out.
SO, no matter how good a driver (no tickets or accidents in thirty years or so) we still get hit with a HUGE rate hike anyway. I'm a little tired of paying or "other people" mistakes. I'd much prefer to pay for MY mistakes, and get my insurance based on MY driving record, not some other drivers.
I also prefer staying with the same company and developing a good relationship between agent and ME ... but it looks like that ain't gonna happen here in Florida ... and, I sure see some mighty fine looking headquarters for insurance companies, and lots of "extra benefits" for the management. If the companies are going to complain about "profits" then quit paying such high bonuses ... that will reduce expenses more than the $50 higher premium every six months they charge me ... or others that pay the fees.
End Rant :) :)
