[TR] [6pack] Hagerty Car Ins. up 14%??

[Bud Rolofson]

List, thanks for all your input.

No claims or tickets.  Went from $194 to $222 in one year with the  
same $22k replacement value.  That's over a 14% increase with no  
changes.  Talked to them and they responded with all the fine things  
they do and benefits of Hagerty and on and on, but  I said I thought I  
was already getting all those fine things the year before with the  
$194 premium and was happy.  I said so you're telling me I now have to  
pay 14% more for the same thing with no additional benefits?  They  
then claimed they restructured their rates and Colorado came out a bit  
(14% is a lot in my book) higher.  I know how insurance works and they  
may be justified because of claims and losses (they thought it was  
mostly MG drivers that were to blame...just kidding) but that's not  
going to keep me from railing at them about it, after all I'm retired  
and don't have anything better to do ;)

I will look into some of the suggested alternatives, thanks.
