I recently added a young driver to my auto that caused my premium to go up. While searching auto quotes at .com for a cheaper rate, I see that my current carrier is offering a better rate for the same coverage. How can I go about receiving the better rate from my company?

    Sometimes those automated websites are not accurate so I would print out the quote, call the carrier and tell them what you found. If the quote is acurante they will honor it. Otherwise threaten to change companies. My guess is that when you entered the info on insurance.com something was missing.
    If you’re trying get a policy from the same carrier but not including the young driver…that won’t work because the young driver was already disclosed and most carriers will not take him/her off unless you provide proof that they have their own insurance. There are many cases of fraud where people do not disclose young drivers so once it is disclosed, they’re hard to take off.
    Good luck.

    You can simply change agents. The cheaper rate is to grab new business. If you change agents and buy new you will be a new customer.
