Why did my rate go up?
Updated over a week ago

There are a variety of reasons rates can increase.

If a rate increase occurs at a state-wide level, it can be due to factors such as:

  • An overall rise in the frequency and severity of claims;

  • Increased costs to repair or replace vehicles, homes, and personal property (including labor costs);

  • Legal expenses from more frequent lawsuits;

  • Rising medical costs.

Some other common reasons for individual premium increases are:

  • The addition of a driver;

  • Changes in the number or type of covered vehicles;

  • Changes in coverage, deductible or limits;

  • The garaging location of a covered vehicle changes;

  • Information about the risk which differs from that on your application for insurance;

  • Loss of a discount;

  • At fault accident caused by a permissive operator;

  • A ticket or accident is charged against your driving record.
