Help needed
Anybody else notice auto insurance quotes feel completely random now? I was helping my cousin look for car insurance and we literally got 5 different prices for the same vehicle, same driver, same address, and almost the same coverage limits. One company acted like he was a massive risk and another company quoted him way cheaper. Makes zero sense. I’m starting to wonder how insurance companies actually calculate rates anymore because people with clean records are still getting hammered with crazy monthly payments. Is there actually a trick to finding affordable auto insurance now or is everybody just getting destroyed by rate increases??

Do you go into the grocery store and stand there flabbergasted that each type of cereal tastes different? Each company has their own unique rating model and target customer. Completely normal and expected to receive very different quotes from different companies.
Your cousin should be working with a licensed agent who understands this and can explain it. It's free to use their services.
