The rates the different brokers and insurance companies make no sense. Companies A, B, and C will quote me rates ranging that are nowhere close. Obviously I’ll choose the lowest one, say company B. A year later company B decides to hike my rates (no accidents, no change in car, another year of flawless driving). Annoyed I “shop” again. Go through the entire thing again and now company C is now the cheapest. Switch again. It’s just the same crap over and over. I’m just sick of changing insurance every year or two. At this point it just seems like a game of “confuse the consumer and hope you can get him to pay more than he should”. Insurance companies like to make it think determining rates is comparable to splitting the atom. It’s not.
I get rates go up. I’m not saying they shouldn’t if it’s based on facts and data. But I can guarantee you any province with public options are not going through this absolute clown show Albertans have just more or less accepted as reality.
