When I bought my current home, I had Allstate for my homeowners insurance. At the beginning of the year my homeowners insurance went up and my mortgage. I called my agent Adrianne Aguilera and she told me it was due to inflation, cost of materials and COVID. She told me I could combine my car insurance with my homeowners insurance to bring down my mortgage payment. So I reluctantly consolidated both homeowners insurance and car insurance with Allstate. With GEICO, I paid $212 for liability insurance every 6 months for years. Ms. Aguilera said I'd save more by signing up for there autopay option, so I did. In March she said my 6 month autopay would be $289.69, with the next payment due in September.So imagine my surprise when her office called yesterday and said my new rate is $315.87 for automatic withdrawal. When I called her and asked her if my car insurance will go up again in 6 months, she said she didn't know. I asked her why did it go up and she gave me the same reason as before; inflation, materials, COVID. I told her that GEICO never went up during COVID and they are an insurance company also that operates in the same country.
