It appears to me that a number of car insurance companies are guilty of purposefully suckering you in with a low ball figure only to know that once you are signed up they are going to increase the premiums to where they want then in the first place. They must figure, and they are probably correct in figuring so, that enough people will just pay the higher premium rather than go through all the hassle of switching to another company. I believe the company I'm with now did that to me, and, every year they keep increasing the premiums. I think it's just the way they do business.

I know this has been covered before, but I searched and nothing came up when I searched for "insurance" I just got my Hagerty renewal in the mail today. And my premium used to be $340 for the year, full coverage, $18K agreed coverage. Now my premium has been raised to $649. I called them to complain about it, but it's because I've under 26 years old, and "to provide the best possible coverage to the broadest possible group of collectors" blah blah blah, they have to raise the premiums. I've been with them 5 years, and have submitted no claims or anything, and I get screwed for it... So can some of you guys recommend any other classic insurers for me. There is no way I'm going to pay Hagerty double my old premium... That's bs.
