My car insurance is going up a whole bunch because I moved closer to the city even if I live in a rich people area. Also I haven't filed any claims with them but they feel that the two claims I've filed against other insurance companies should still raise my rates. I also got a 2nd speeding ticket this year so lol to me no defensive driving to keep that poo poo off my record. This butt loving is never ending isn't it?

a mexican person told me you can save on auto insurance by not having any

a black person told me you can save on auto insurance by only paying for the first month and then just keeping the papers and called it south side insurance

I was trying to think of a way to say this.

That being said, my insurance actually went down when I moved a mere 1 mile away a few months ago. Pretty cool.

I'd be more worried about your second speeding ticket than your 3.94% insurance increase for moving to the hood.

If it makes you feel better, I've been pulled over more than 30 times.

Come live in the Detroit Metro area of Michigan and that'll give you something to actually cry about re: Insurance costs

Seriously I know someone who moved to Texas and figured the money they were saving on insurance down there could afford them another complete car with insurance.

There is always some ghetto insurance company that will give you liability. They are ones with actual storefronts in stripmalls with neon signs of palm trees or other dumbass things so you have hope

A rich area actually increases rates because the average claim is higher due to the values of the vehicles being driven being hirer as well as being newer.

Being in the ghetto means claims are higher for breaking and theft and other personal loss claimed against the vehicle. Suburbs is the only area you can move to-from without seeing rates fluctuate unless there is a markedly different value of vehicle in the area. This is obviously not including personal injury data, just damage claims which are the most common.

Secret: All major insurance companies end up charging you almost the same rate once you actually match the features ;) most savings you see when you get a quote come from reducing max limits

one of the few good insurance companies IMO.

Also US insurance companies keep a master database on everyone so they can see if they ever had a claim for car, home or rental insurance.

If your car is registered under your parents name it gets a multiline discount until you have multiple vehicles and multiple policies as well.

So a homeowner will have HOI, 2 cars (on average), and perhaps some other misc policy. A multiline usually starts at 3 policies and can get about 15-28% off the total 6 month premium.

It isn't a bad deal, because 28% off your HOI is solid.
