I'd be the first to say 'oh no, not another insurance thread'...but this is just so baffling and shady, I figured I'd share.
Before anyone says 'whoa, $170 a month for insurance? That's insane!'
...yeah, no...it increased by $170. Went from $800 for six months to $1900 for six months. No notice. They were just going to bill me over $300 next month.
This is a 4cyl non-turbo MT Mazda 3. Bottom rung full coverage, no 'Cadillac plan' here.
PSA: Don't use Geico. I think I'm switching to State Farm to keep the same rate...quotes 850ish. Esurance wants a grand. Progressive wants a grand. I don't quite see how car insurance is not 'price fixing' or otherwise some kind of oligopoly. The rates between companies are nearly identical...where is this money I'm supposed to be saving, insurance commercials?
