Yesterday I got a doc for my car insurance renewal (Liberty Mutual), and the premium went up almost $150. The doc said that increases are only from govt fees, but in the breakdown, those fees were only about $5.
I emailed my insurance guy, and he said that "we increase the mileage every year for anyone under 12,000, but I can drop it to last year's numbers." That sounds to me like a pretty deceptive way to make money if customers aren't watching closely. We get a much lower premium on the car (it's my husband's car, who drives under 6k, but we legitimately need the second car).
Do they all pull this kind of crap? It's the first time I've noticed them doing it to me, but it's enough to make me want to look for another provider.
