Why Car Insurance Is Skyrocketing! Here Is How To Save Money on Insurance

[@loum.4377]

I have a clean car record for 18 years. They jacked me 33% on 8/1/2024.

[@topherinbr]

Wow 18 years is exceptional. That's fucked up for sure. I was with Progressive for 6 years and they tried to raise my premium with no valid reason. I left and have been with AAA since 2021. Every renewal my rate goes down a little as long as I have no tickets, accidents or claims. I think I'm at $130 a month full coverage for my 2017 Toyota Camry LE.

[@Blue-moon12]

I work as a fraud Investigator for a major Canadian insurance company. Rates are going up because of poor claims handling and underwriting practices. This is the main reason, then you have the theft increases of high end vehicles. I deal with re-vins and cloned vehicles daily.

[@justlistenfornow]

Is insurance cmpany a "necessary evil" in your opinion?

[@Blue-moon12]

@justlistenfornow Yes, I do. I have seen many a claim where it was a good thing they had insurance. Total loss fires of homes and cars etc. But claims are paid too easily and frequently.

[@_fukunicorn_164]

“Make sure that your rates are correct”…? What? What does that even mean? What are the “correct” rates?

[@davidp2888]

I was rear-ended twice last year, my rates didn't increase. I had that car fixed (twice) and then traded it in and bought a *less* expensive car. My rates increased dramatically.

[@cod4r]

Car insurance companies often raise rates without a valid reason.

[@muratima7154]

So penalizing good drivers with good driving records is acceptable now because of car thefts and fraudsters? If the insurance coverage is mandatory then the government should make sure there is a ceiling on how much one's insurance can be raised if they have a good driving record. But wait, the more insurance companies make--> the more they give to the government...mystery solved.

[@_fukunicorn_164]

And don’t forget the rich people buying more expensive cars whose repairs cost more to fix!

[@ibakedit5850]

Someone I know had their car grazed by the tires of a huge SUV. The damage amounted to rubber being deposited on the paint on two doors and some on a rim. The front bumper did sustain a scrape. She took to the car to a bodyshop recommended by the insurance co. Well, they gave her an estimate of over $4000...repairs included new rims, sensors, painting the doors and front bumper. I went to her car and wiped of the deposited rubber from the doors and rims with a rag and some soap....not a thing else! No marks remained. Then she went to my bodyshop guy and had the bumper repaired for $400....looks new. She informed the insurance company of the quote going from over $4000 to $400. The insurance company did NOT care and basically told her that how it is. She even suggested to them to investigate....NOTHING was done. Car thefts including shops that fleece the consumers. In fact, I was told by an insider in the business that this situation is common.

[@joeschlepp]

yep that's a huge problem is sketchy auto body shops scamming the insurance co. and the the insurance companies don't care they just pass the cost onto the consumer. they are evil.

[@_fukunicorn_164]

I think y’all are missing the point in this comment, auto body shops are at least scamming the insurance companies for once rather than the customers. We all should be grateful for them. It’s not your friend’s or the autobody shop’s fault the insurance company wasn’t doing their job. It’s the insurance company’s.

[@floydcooley1]

Umm... What about record profits for the insurance companies?! Allstate for example reported 17.2 Billion increase in profits. That's 43%(!) year over year. While everything in your video contributes to the higher prices, greedflation is a huge role.

[@davcuts2897]

My insurance went up $200 this year. When I called and asked why I was told it wasn't anything I have done, they asked for an increase to cover the higher cost of repairs, and it was approved.

[@codincoman9019]

[@janisianjusino9961]

My insurance here in Arizona went down when I bought a 2024 Chevy trailblazer from a 2019 Honda accord. I have full coverage.

[@johnkinsel5027]

I worked in Systems at a massive insurance company. They pumped billions through as divideds to the Mutual policies. "Give some of that extra money back" They also changed the billing system to the most lenient ever for with job losses. If your sole source of income for years got shut down (for 2 weeks to flatten the curve) they would work to keep clients somehow.

[@spades9048]

My uninsured/underinsured premium is pretty high. I really wish insured drivers could walk away from any accident with an uninsured driver. I don’t even care if it’s a DUI - you should face the criminal charges but as for the liability to the other car - you should be able to walk away. It’s exactly what they would do to you. As for auto thefts, a couple 5-10 year sentences may help deter future theft. Of course we can continue to try the whole they say they’re sorry and they promise they won’t do it again strategy and just release them.

[@Richard_Fouts]

I have had no claims and Allstate increased my premium $600. My car is in a secured garage with a 24/7 attendant plus cameras everywhere. It's no wonder accidents are up. People drive like idiots and car commercials that sell the "rush of going fast" only add to the problem. My Lexus has over 300 HP, is very powerful, and analysts love the car but criticize that it's underpowered.

The insurance company says it was preexisting injury.... from what I was never hit by a car before. They they said I was old...really. then the payout was a fraction of what they lawyer said it should get, the auto insurance in Ontario is broken...

Frivolous lawsuits are a serious problem here in the US. I see ads for personal injury attorneys that promise huge payouts for their clients. I know that sometimes is lawsuit is recommended, but some of their claims are ridiculous and just appeal to greed.

[@carhelpcorner]

Very true. An accident should not be treated as a lottery win through lawsuits. This issue has led to some regions eliminating the lawsuit option for accident claims entirely.

[@_fukunicorn_164]

@@carhelpcorner i’m pretty sure if we looked into it, it would be the consumers getting screwed over much more often than the insurance companies who happen to have infinitely more time and money to spend on lawyers and lawsuits. This is not even a factor. Just an excuse.

[@mikepetrilli4686]

I wish you would factor this in when you review vehicles. Although vehicles like the Honda civic, Honda CRV, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Tundra, all Lexus models may be reliable, but they are super expensive to insure. Many insurance companies may not even insure many of these vehicles. That needs to factor into which vehicle to purchase. It may be better to buy a less reliable vehicle that's easier to repair than a more reliable vehicle that's stollen frequently. That should be factored into your reviews. You may be paying less for repairs on a lexus, but is that being offset by skyrocketing insurance.

[@_fukunicorn_164]

If insurance companies actually gave two shits about cars being stolen, they would collude with the car manufacturers to make them less easy to fucking steal! But, i’d bet my life they wont do that.

[@bsmirnov]

I'm Ontarian. Does it make sense to skip "comprehensive" insurance entirely and leave only mandatory by law liability portion for a car that is past its warranty period? Cause with the cost of repair so high for such a car even minor damage may mean a write off. Also, the way how residual value is calculated by Carfax or Black Book, it makes it questionable for an owner whether to pay so high insurance premiums, because over the course of 5-6 years you basically pay your insurance company the cost of your vehicle if not more, so when you get hit you lose-lose-lose - your car, your premiums, your potential selling value. Who needs such an insurance?

[@upendrarane-w7b]

Ontario auto insurance is a broken system and it’s high time provincial government make it right. After rent that’s a second major cost for families. Recently, I got my car hit from back by a Quebec driver and he said his insurance was only $ 70 per month. He was not worried about his insurance premiums increasing for his fault. Whereas in Ontario the monthly premiums will go up by $ 70 on top of avg. premium of $ 250 to $ 300 a month if you are at fault. The other states like Manitoba are also having premiums around $ 100 per month. How the auto companies in these provinces can afford to operate despite hight theft and frauds? How come this disparity and discrimination?

[@carhelpcorner]

Manitoba has government run insurance rather than private insurance, which is why their rates are so much lower. They also have a tiny population which helps allow the government system to work pretty efficiently at a lower cost.
