Why Are Insurance Rates on the Rise?
It feels like everything is more expensive these days, insurance included. If your home or car insurance rates have recently gone up, you may be curious as to why this has happened. At Legacy Insurance Partners, we’re very aware of the recent increase in insurance rates and want to provide more insight into why you might be suddenly paying more to insure your home and car.
What’s Driving Up Home Insurance Rates?
Since 2020, you might have noticed that your home insurance rates have steadily increased. Even though paying more for something isn’t ideal, the rising cost of home insurance is meant to ensure your property will be properly covered after a loss. Because of the recent rise in the cost of home construction materials, it would cost more than it did in the past to rebuild your home, and your home insurance premiums now likely reflect this.
What’s Making Car Insurance Cost More?
Like your home insurance policy, you’re probably paying more now to insure your vehicle than just a few years ago. Today, it costs more to settle auto insurance claims due to increases in distracted driving, high-speed accidents, and other driving behaviors. Additionally, inflation factors, supply chain constraints, and an increase in the cost of goods and services are also driving higher car insurance rates.
