Austin A6 3.2

I just got my insurance bill and it went up $200 for a six months period.

I have no accidents or tickets reported to the insurance company, years of accident free driving and I'm 32 years old.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of increase of their insurance. I'm in Austin, TX and the ins. company is Allstate.

Thanks,

Otmar

Well, there's your problem, instead of "good hands", they give you one finger!

Ditto. Big increase. And I live in WI and am older than dirt

My insurance agent said it was because the State of Texas recently released their first "rating number" for the TT. All insurance companies in the State are required to use this multiplier when setting premiums. Up until now insurers in Texas had been establishing premiums based on the value (price) of the car because it was too new to have a calculable accident/repair history. Turns out the TT is pretty expensive to fix so that accounts for the higher premiums.

My insurance rate with Farmers is the same for the '01 225 Coupe as it was for a '99 V6 Camaro.
