I received a quote from Gmac one week for $326.00 for 6 months for basic auto insurance. Which I still have the original letter they sent me. Then when I had saved up enough to make the intial down payment and called them back approx. a week later. They asked me how much was my original insurance which I told them because I thought I was required too. After that they raised up the insurance Sixty one more dollars saying that they had changed computer systems. Which they were still saving me money from my initial insurance, but it just felt wrong. On a good note all the people I talked were very nice, but some of the times on hold on the phone were very long.

#1 Consumer Suggestion

Prior Insurance

AUTHOR: Bill - (U.S.A.)

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 23, 2005

As the other responder has replied, you obviously were not the victim of "bait & switch" - it just doesn't happen. It sounds like they asked you about your prior insurance, which is a rating factor for many insurance companies. For example - you may have told them that you have prior BI limits of 100/300, and when they checked your prior insurance company, you only had 50/100. This can change the rate for many carriers.

If you went with a direct carrier (not a local agent that deals with commissions), the company cannot arbitrarily change the rate - that simple.

#2 Consumer Comment

insurance quotes

AUTHOR: Lynn - (U.S.A.)

Your quote is not binding until you actually get the insurance. You are technically not a victim of bait & switch. They did not sell you the policy they initially quoted you b/c you did not buy that day. Rates change & it appears you called back after a rate change. It could also be that you gave slightly different information, ie limits, zip code, etc, that caused it to be different. Also a quote is just that---once the policy is written if they find any mistakes---such as a speeding ticket that you did not reveal then the policy can go up after it is written. Sounds like you should have switched insurance when you got the first quote.
