Keep in mind that most states have insurance commissions that review such increases. Some such commissions have quite stringent oversight. I'm not saying "they've got your back" but at least most insurance companies can't just double rates without some explanation. I'd call 'em up and ask "what the hey?"
And this is why I dropped State Farm a few years ago.
They sent me a letter a few months before renewal that made me sign away my rights to state maximum rates in order to continue coverage. I did so, and then the renewal rate was over the state maximum. I called my agent and her answer was: "Everyone is doing it."
No they are not.
I made a few calls and went with Amica and called back my agent and canceled right then an there, even though I had paid the full year, and I was only a few weeks into the term.
At least they sent the refund check quickly.
