Yep, we are old people! wife is 68 and I am 75. She just told me our insurance on our daily Toyota Tacoma (2017 model) just went from $100 to $140!!! NO tickets ever, NO wrecks, nothing. Agent says is INFLATION.. all insurance co. went up!??? That is a 40% increase!! We use a Texas co. as they have always been cheaper than he national co. Maybe "dunning" us because of age?? We are only about 40 mi. from edge of Houston that might not help any. The chit hole of Texas.

Any advice on another co. to get rate from??? I AM PISSED!!!!

Did I mention I am pissed!!???????

When I got my renewal in July for my daily drivers and my home insurance, I damn near choked! Home insurance went up nearly $700.00! I have never made a claim!
I did some comparison shopping and found a different insurance company, got better coverage for my home, and the same coverage for my cars, but it was almost $800.00 less for the home policy, and close to $100.00 less for my vehicles. I have my two collector vehicles covered by a different company, I just paid the renewal this week on them, under $300.00/year.
Gotta shop around, my wife hates it, but I don't think I should have to pay insane insurance rates, just because they think they are worth it.
I am 60 and still working full time, my wife is 65 and retired, between the two of us we might drive 15k miles a year.
