I got a major shock last month on my credit card as it maxed out unexpectedly. It looked like geico doubled my payment for some reason so I called them and they said it was right as they just renewed my policy. It went from 130~ to 265! I did get two tickets last July (speed and a week or so later a seat belt) and my rates went up about 30 in August, but no idea it would double 6 months later. I tried calling around and allstate was going to give me a quote, but after checking my record they never called back. So I tried progressive and the online quote looked good (around 120 month and 50 down), but a couple days later they sent an updated quote of 210/m and 100 down).
I'm not sure whats going on as I've since tried several online quotes and they all look to be around 200/m with state min. coverage. I tried the general and safe auto. It sound like the speeding ticket I got back in Dec. of 15 is whats hurting me. I also have a history of numerous collision claims in the past, mostly for hitting deer for 4 or 5 years in a row and a couple others like a branch falling on my car and hitting a dog and also a part flying off a truck and hitting me. I know these are a lot, but they were not my fault and all over 2 years ago. I was with State Farm for years and they dropped me because of all the claims. Funny, I was just thinking of upgrading to an 18 if I could find a decent deal with low interest, but that looks to be out the window as I was barely breaking even before the insurance went up. Anyway, any ideas of other companies to try for cheap insurance or what I can do to get a better rate or am I screwed for awhile?
