I just got the renewal for my auto insurance, the Geico policy includes my 2018 Ridgeline and 2019 Corolla. The previous 6 month cost was $789, this 6 month premium is $975. I've had no accidents or citations, and the same two vehicles are older than they were. I hate to think of what the homeowners is going up to!


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

BTW, if your policy is for full coverage, and not just liability, that's very good price for both cars that are still relatively new.

Has anyone noticed how folks are driving these days (during COVID and post COVID)? If that's any indication, I can imagine insurance company losses have also increased which gets passed onto all of us.

I'm paying $2 more than that for just a 2013 Mustang Boss 302 from Nationwide. Considering that the V6 'stang I had before was inexplicably $70-80 more per month for the majority of the time I owned it, I still consider it a win even though it's WAY more than I should be paying. Any accidents I have on my record are not-at-fault and I've got no tickets on my record.

Mine is capped at no more than a 10% increase per year, and it went up the full 10% this year.

Yep. I'm currently paying $972/year for full coverage on one car, a Subaru Forester, with no claims and a home+auto discount.

It's full coverage but $2,000 per year seems like a lot to me. Whatever though everything's expensive now!

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

It's impossible to compare or benchmark insurance prices with your friends.

First, nobody here has mentioned what their policy limits are. Are we talking $30k/60k liability limits, or something like a $500k combined single limit?

Second, garage zip code matters. Rates are based off of historical data for your neighborhood.

Annual mileage? Other drivers?

Also, rates typically increase year over year. How "fresh" are the rates you are comparing to? I shop rates annually, so my rates don't have loyalty creep in it.

So, you’re saying insurance goes up dependent on your neighbors and their accidents? That seems wrong. However, I live in a very rural area, and the times I travel on the interstate roads at 75, in heavy traffic, I wonder why there isn’t more accidents.

Personal lines insurance companies did well during Covid. Lot fewer miles driven translates to fewer claims. Now, driving back up or higher. Cost of repairs higher due to shortages and inflated repair costs. Replacing totaled cars also more expensive.
It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

I have Geico with zero change. 3 vehicles, my wife, my 19 year old daughter and myself, no accidents and full coverage on all vehicles, $900 every 6 months (when I added my daughter a few years ago my policy went from $900 a year to $900 every 6 months.)

Still the best price I've found for my situation.

Yes, the insurance company uses claims data for your make and model vehicle for your zip code to determine how much it might cost to repair or replace your vehicle and how often non-fault claims are made. Your driving history is assigned an "experience rating", but that doesn't really speak to how expensive it is to fix or replace a car in your neighborhood, or all the other ways your car can be damaged when you aren't at fault.

Downside of moving to Florida my insurance went through the roof. Between mandatory hail policy for cars and hurricane for the house my total ins costs ( cars, house, umbrella) went from 4K to almost 6k. Same coverages and a house that is worth 1/2. I cut my living expenses by a lot more than increase that but I was shocked at the amounts

Anyway, to answer the OP's question, my semi-annual rate went up $16 or a little under 2 percent.
