My auto insurance for full comprehensive [View all]

Coverage just went up 840 a year. I did not have any violations, not even a parking ticket, nor an accident, I simply moved from Pompton Lakes to Paterson. What I have learned by changing my address is that people in urban areas are screwed when it comes to insurance and in an instant to boot.

I went to first get a better quote from 21st Century, they had offered me a quote less than that of my current carrier Geico. When I punched in my address my quote which had been 946 had become 2200, I said hell to the no, I will just renew then. I renewed at 581 for 6 months, but then realized my old address was still listed, so I changes it and instantly the website indicated my cost had changes and I now owed them an additional 420 for the same coverage for 6 months at my new address. I mean talk about screwing people over, a lot of folks in Paterson cannot afford basics and rely on government assistance. I mean granted higher population density, chance of theft, more congestion on the roads, but that is an insane increase of 80%. Check it for yourself, get a quote for where you live and see if it is higher in a more urban area or lower in a less populated area.
