    My current insurance agent has given me a quote for renewal. She said that everyone’s quote has gone up this year, and that she was surprised mine didn’t. I’m thinking she’s only saying it so I would renew again with them. My insurance went down just a few hundred dollars.

    Mine went up almost $200 yr for everything. I haven’t looked yet to see exactly why, I’m sure it’s Public Liability.

    I can let you know next month when I renew. I got a speeding ticket almost a year ago and was worried mine would go up. Last week went to BMV and got an abstract and it's not even on there.

    Mine went up 8% last year, not sure yet about this year but I have about 10 quotes coming in for my July renewal. Trying to get ahead of it and not take any chances.

    Just had my first renewal (second year of authority). My agent got some quotes back that were significantly higher than Year 1 (roughly $3,000-$5,000). She then got a quote from Progressive just to see where they came back at. Ended up being about $3,000 less than Year 1 while adding a trailer interchange policy.

    I just got an online quote today from Progressive. As usual, they’re asking for about 30k, which is a few thousand dollars less than what they quoted me last year. I tried tweaking the auto-quote calculation, but the quote is still very high.

    What did you put for your radius? I remember Progressive being very sensitive to that and it making a big difference.

    DOT violations will make it go up. A company in NJ provides the information to insurance companies
