Yes, I deliberately picked one from Fox, so that you couldn’t claim it

What do I see here?
US inflation rates:
2021: 7.0% 2022: 6.5% 2023: 3.4%
Insurance countrywide rate change:
2021: 3.8% 2022: 6.2% 2023: 11.3%
Could it be that part of the increase is compensating for years when rates increased with less than the inflation?
I also suspect that since insurance is in many cases fairly cheap, you see a lot of inertia of customers who just remain with the same company, and that since the figures above are nationwide averages, you could easily get a few quotes and lower your cost if it really mattered.
