My car ins was due last December.  The annual premium was 1¢ lower than the previous year! A notice came w/the bill that due to COVID yada, yada, yada.....

Today, I got a thank you notice for payment & MAYBE I will get "rebates" again like last year.

Anybody else's premium stayed the same or lowered?

I am w/AAA

My insurance agent called today.  She wanted to know if we wanted to lower our deductible on the cars from $500 to $100.  We have four insured cars.  The cost for this change for each car is between $12 and $16 more a year.

Heck yes!  We have State Farm.

It sounded too good to be true, but I didn't argue with her.

Since we retired, our yearly mileage is substantially lower than State Farm's definition of low, so our yearly premiums are significantly lower.

Our car insurance goes up every year

I recently used the zebra dot com and couldn't believe how much I was overpaying for car insurance!  They are highly rated and I appreciated the ease of using their website $$$$$

@ScrapHappy 

Have you found out why?  Our State Farm Auto has gone down from 2019. We have also gotten a rebate/refund from them twice now. Guessing because I was not driving 40 miles 3 times a week to the ice rink.

I was already considered a very low mileage driver and I called my agent and told him I was driving close to 500 miles less each month. Times 12 that adds up to 6,000 miles. Think my refund was $91 broken down to our semi-annual choice of payments, so about $46 each payment.

Never hurts to ask when any auto insurance goes up. Being Accident Free and no Citations since 1960, has been a plus for me during my now 65 years of driving.

We made changes...had four on the policy and down to two.  Plus the new car that I got in Sept. has a lot of newer safety features so I got a discount for that.

Yep, those safety features do make a difference.

I just left Progressive for Liberty Mutual. Had Progressive for ages but they became annoying.

Better coverage with LM at a lower rate. 

Your ins company will keep hiking your rates as long as you tolerate it.

I'm with State Farm and my last premium invoice went down almost 20%.
