Default Insurance prices got jacked up

So I just got my insurance renewal the other day I opened it up expecting to see my usual amount, only to find out it had been jacked up 350 bucks !!! I have been paying the same amount with the same company for the entire time I have had my bike. I called my agent and the only thing she could tell me was they change how they were writing the policies. Sounds like a bunch of you know what, hey if they need to make more revenue pass it on to the bad drivers not the ones who have clean records!!!

Default Try Progressive

I think they do great rate-wise in this market (SE Louisiana)

A lot of their calculations are based on where you live. My insurance went way up about 2 months ago because we had a couple claims that weren't even our fault, so after 35 years with the same company I switched companies. The new company literally cut my premiums in half for 4 vehicles. It pays to shop around.

Give Allied Insurance a try.

For those over 50 (don't laugh), try AARP! When I renew I will be going through them.

AARP works with Foremost Insurance. Might want to look them up no matter the age group.
