Severe Rate Increase After First Year
They paid the claims in a timely manner over the course of my first year with them. However, when it came time to renew for year two, they raised my premium for my two dogs by over $40 a month which increased my annual premium by about $480! In my view, it appears that the initial year's lower rate was a ploy to get me to sign up with them. When I complained about such a large increase, I received a condescending email from them saying they "understand it (premium rate increases) can be frustrating" and that I could buy less coverage if I wanted a lower premium. They also blamed the rate on many factors, including inflation, policy changes and the underwriter (underwriter (American Modern Insurance Group) who determines the base rate. Too bad they have no say in what they charge, huh? To me, it's a bait (lower initial rate)_ and switch (2nd year large rate increase).
