I had a similar thing happen about 10 years ago with my home owner's insurance. I don't even remember their name. Anyhow, without notice my home owner's insurance nearly doubled. Since they did not give notice I went else where without notice. I went to Allstate. That was working well. Then I had a $17,000 claim from a hail storm. My agent said that my rates would not go up.....F*cking liar....up about 70%. I left there and have been at Auto Owners for about 4 years now. No claims, but last year my rates did go up a little. My agent called me. She said that my rates were too high and that she would review my policy and see what she could do. Now I have the same coverage, and my rate is just a few dollars more. I certainly appreciate what she did entirely on her own.

Some years ago I had Esurance for my car insurance. No claims, but during that time they started to advertise on TV all the time. I thought to myself "advertising is not cheap..what might happen to my rates" guess what ......they needed money for all of that air time so my rates where higher. I don't trust any insurance company that spends a lot of time on TV advertising. We all know that you are there. I look at Progressive ads and I wonder is this about insurance or a fricking circus show with that nasty crotch Flow as the ring leader.

Anyhow to some degree insurance at times can seem like legalized organized crime.
