Increasing insurance premiums – Why & what you can do about it!

Notice an increase in your insurance premium and feel frustrated thinking nothing on your end has changed? Here are some impacting factors and steps you can take to combat the rising rates. According to Kelly Blue Book in 2023 the average price of a new car is $49,388. The average price of new home in Bucks County is up 25% since 2020 to an average of $440,335.

Inflation, chip shortages needed for auto technology, and worker shortages are factors causing the supply/demand problem and driving costs up. Auto repair shops are increasing pay to retain workers and those costs are being absorbed by consumers/insurance companies in higher repair bills. Last year it is estimated that an unexpected $9 billion paid out for physical auto damage and $30 billion paid out for home claims. Insurance companies are increasing premiums to stay profitable.

As a consumer you have options. Compare your policy across insurance carriers. Ensure accurate coverages, deductibles and discounts. Remove unnecessary add-ons or duplicate coverages. Consider increasing your deductibles. Going from $500 to $1,000 may make sense. Consider enrolling in a user-based driving program. Savings for participating and additional savings available upon completion.
