Even if you never had an accident you have a high probability of your car turning into a submarine in that state
Cost to repair or replace your car is a big driver of premium, and we all know those costs have been going through the roof over past 2 years. But another big portion of your premium that most people don’t think about is 3rd party liability coverage (BI & PD) - this can be really useful expensive in a state like Florida that is extremely litigious. Also PIP and UM coverages that cover your medical costs.
state farm has always been more expensive for me. try progressive, AAA, or Farm Bureau.
The 21 year old + Florida is why. Almost 50% of drivers in Florida in certain metros have no insurance at all. This is to make up for that.
Yes and this is pitiful. There should be very harsh penalties for this IMO.

My understanding is that they don’t, but you can technically buy fractional shares and be considered a shareholder.
“I’ll take $.01 of Berkshire please”
They ask you if you’re a stockholder when inputting info for a quote
I believe you send them a screenshot of your brokerage account or s/t like that
Thieves are now stealing airbags from parked cars?
I guess that would help offset the 30% premium increase - I do wish I knew about this though as I had them for 5-6 yrs until last fall.
