Haven't found that to be the case with The Hartford (AARP. This thread
caused me to check the past three annual premiums. $1539 in 2004 and
$2007 in 2006. That seems like a big change BUT the coverage has
remained constant with no changes to the limits, etc., there have been
no claims BUT the number/type of vehicles insured has been a moving
target.
Currently they are insuring a '01 Buick Park Av, '03 Chrysler T&C, '06
Honda Accord and '94 Corvette convertible. A fifth car was on that
$2007 billing which has since been sold so they haven't been playing the
"Merry Go Round" game with me. It's not worth the time and effort to
pro-rate the premiums based on acquisition dates and sale dates to
figure out an exact increase/decrease. Suffice it to say it's pretty
stable. There's been some fluctuation in premiums on the individual cars
but very nominal and not always an increase.
