Rho and I got thrown into that too when we moved here...same situation as Matt's. We started the policy, then they tried to jack up the price. After I argued kindly with the insurance rep and asked for a supervisor, it was returned to its original amount.
Matt, I'm assuming you either didn't change your plates and/or this was before proof of insurance was required to get plates in either state, right?
(Note to you folks out there: Don't go with Progressive. They make it sound so cutesy and simple on the television, but they're an incredible pain in the ass when trying to start a policy. Plus, I think I hit the same situation as Steve's wife when I put my own car under Allstate in April.)
Dave, out of curiosity, why State Farm? From my own personal experience and that of others I know, I've heard few good things about them. When I first tried to get car insurance in 1991, they wouldn't give it to me b/c I hadn't had my license for a year. They were willing to do it if my mom was on the policy, but then they wanted to inspect the car I was driving...and the premiums would have been through the roof.
My policy is done next month, so my renewal should be cheaper than the $74 a month I currently pay. My renters (also through Allstate) renewal is 15% cheaper than last year, so I'm hoping for a similar drop on the car.
I miss paying only $22 a month in St. Louis though.
