Auto rates move constantly — by ZIP, by model year, by the month a carrier decides to re-rate a whole state. Every one of those changes is filed with a regulator before it reaches your renewal. We parse those filings so you can see who is raising rates, where, and by how much, ahead of the notice in your mailbox.
Insurers price you partly on a credit-based insurance score, but in most states the law only makes them refresh it once every three years. If your credit improved after you bought the policy, you can spend years paying a rate built on the old you — unless you use a little-known right to demand a re-rate once a year.

Switching these policies is cheap and frictionless, which is exactly why shopping defeats it.

Before you go
Insurers must file rate changes with state regulators, typically months before they take effect. Pick your line and carrier to see what’s already on the docket.
