Your insurance premiums seem to rise every year - regardless of whether you’ve filed for any claims. Why is that? It turns out that it is a pretty common practice for insurance companies to compensate for their claims and other expenses through insurance rate increases, in order to achieve desirable profit levels.
In 2020, insurance companies have filed for car insurance rate increases ranging from just a few percentage points to more than 30%. Depending on states and programs, the following are some insurance companies that have filed for moderate to large rate increases: Geico has filed for a rate increase of up to 10%, Farmers up to 11%, AAA up to 15%, Liberty Mutual up to 20%, American Family up to 25%, and the largest, State Farm, up to 35% increases.
If you have not filed any claims in the past several years but your insurance price has been going up, it may be that your insurance company has filed for significant rate increases and has not notified you. However, with every negative, there is always a silver lining, and in this circumstance, it could help you save hundreds.
In this case, this silver lining has a name, called getjerry.com. Working as your personal insurance broker, Jerry compares quotes from top insurance companies, such as Allstate, Metlife, Progressive, and Travelers, among others, as well as regional insurance companies, in real time to find the best and most competitive price for you. Not only does Jerry "show you the money," but you can buy new insurance and cancel your old policy through the app. All it takes is 45 seconds of your time to get started.
For people that use and switch their insurance with the help of Jerry, they save $698 a year, on average. Instead of reducing your coverage, Jerry uses an Artificial Intelligence platform to match your current coverage, so you can compare apples to apples.
Jerry also turns heads with its outstanding 4.7/5 Rating in the App Store, the highest App Store rating in its category.
