DID YOU KNOW AUTO INSURANCE PREMIUMS INCREASED BY 35% IN 2013 COMPARED TO 2012?
Although this number sounds outrageous, this is the conclusion of a recent J.D. Power 2013 U.S. Auto Insurance Study.
So next time your insurance company mails you the details of your renewal policy, do me a favor: please take a few minutes to compare the new premium with what you were paying so far. That will save you hundreds of dollars.
When recently facing this premium increase, I decided to take the phone to ask my insurance company what was driving this increase. After more than 10 minutes waiting on the line to get a representative, and more than 15 minutes of a boring and useless argumentation, I was finally told my premium was aligned with what competition would offer me and they couldn't do anything for me!
So this is when I started looking on the internet for alternatives.
Of course one option was to find an other insurance company that would potentially charge me less. However, if ever I had found a better price, it would have certainly taken me several hours to apply for a new policy, provide the required documentation, cancel my previous insurance, get a refund check (probably after several weeks or months)... I was not very willing to go through this painful process.
A couple days later, talking about this with my neighbor, he mentioned to me I should try www.billxperts.com, a company specialized in helping people save money on their monthly bills. It took me less than 5 minutes to sign up on their secured website and within about a week, these guys came back to me with an exciting news: they had negotiated on my behalf with my insurance provider and that resulted in a $244 saving!
I wish I had known earlier about billxperts.com !
