Bristol West Insurance Price-gouging, major increase for safe driving Hollywood, Florida

We switched to  Farmer's insurance a year ago when we moved - got a really good deal on both cars and our house.  Unknown to us, Farmer's out-sourced (or whatever they call it) our policy to Bristol West.

We received an increase of $67.00 after the first 6 months.  We weren't happy, but paid it.  Our insurance was due to be renewed this past week.  The bill was an additional $190.36 higher, for an of $257.36 in a year!  In a year with no accidents, tickets, anything whatsoever.  Needless to say I started shopping immediately.

Our new policy went into effect yesterday and I made sure that everything with Bristol West was cancelled.  We received mail from them today saying they had processed our request to discontinue participation in their Electronic Funds Transfer program.  The next page said our policy was due to expire and payment was needed immediately.  Would you believe they added another $58.00?  A total increase of $315.36 in a year!

I'm sure there are people who pay without checking - not us!  We went back to our previous insurer; $303.46 cheaper than Bristol West.  I would not recommend this company for any insurance for anyone.  Oh, and they raised the home insurance, too.
