I also saw that my 6 month renewal price was ridiculousy high. They raised my rates by $1000 on the year basically doubled it. I had no tickets, and one fender bender that was ruled not my fault. They said the accident was not a factor it was a standard increase across the vaord for all customers. On rep told me his went up by $300. So I never go with them. I still need to shop for a new company, just havent had the time.

I'm with esurance.com (backed by allstate). No fee increase.

While i would like to bash geico and insurance in general i can understand constant rate hikes.

Just look at the complexity of parts now that need to be replaced. Even bumpers have sensors in them these days.

When it comes to the BRZ there is not much after market support for body parts so buying OEM deives cost up. Also I'm sure most owners don't drive it like grandma to church.

Cars are becoming disposable appliances like consumer electronics. I hate it but that is the way I see the world going.
