Insurance

[jon lechich]

Ok I still would like to know why one insurance company can charge so much more
for a policy than another. My driving record was the same, I live in the same
area and my information I gave them when I applied was same. I still have the
same amount of insurance but its almost a $1000 dollars difference. The
insurance company I have now is GMAC. Jon

for an individual is a rather
complicated procedure. Two people living on the same street driving the
same motorhome and insured wtih the same company may pay widely differening
rates.
Now they not only take into consideration accidents and speeding tickets,
but your credit rating. The credit rating FICO number seems to be a big
factor now.

I am insured with Progressive and have $300K $500K liability, collision
full glass with a $1M umbrella policy and its $503.
