Question: I just got a very high car insurance quote after years of good driving why would this be?

Answer: There can be may reason for receiving a high car insurance from an error at the DMV to a change in your credit score since the last time you shopped for car insurance.

The first thing you should do is contact the insurance company that gave you the quote you feel is too high and ask how they arrived at the higher figure. Be prepared for the fact they may be unwilling to share this information with you.

Obtain a copy of your credit report. Negative marks on your credit score can affect the price you pay for your insurance premium. If there are negative comments that you believe should not be there then you should contact the credit agency that has reported the negative comments and dispute them.

If you moved to a more populated area or bought a more expensive vehicle these are other reasons your premiums could be significantly higher than they once were.

We are sorry you got a high car insurance quote and hope we were able to explain why you may have received that quote. Shop around for other quotes before accepting a quote you feel is too high.
