Turning 25 y/o in Sept question
Hi,
I've been with State Farm the past 3 season, my renewal came in today which goes in effect in May. Wondering if they will adjust my rates for both the car and bike (mostly worried about bike) once I'm 25? The quote for the bike is obviously for 12 month.

Nope, you'll get the "better" rate on next years renewal :(

AWWW man that sucks... I know for my car there was a $6/month drop as soon as I turned 24. That sucks about the bike...
Re: Turning 25 y/o in Sept question
Very glad to hear that. You're with State Farm also, right?

I know the summer months cost more than the winter months.

Hey thanks mate. Was there a substantial decresase since 25 has always been the "golden age" with insurance companies?

No convictions but one sorta at fault accident claimed a few years ago. Some lady lost control of her suv and spun out into my lane hit me. But it just so happens that I hit her in the rear and they counted that at fault for me.

That's a very nice saving. I'm currently paying 159 for my 600RR. I'll be happy with even 100 a month! And that's bs how they blamed it on you...

No offence but there is always 3 sides to any story...

Your agent was likely making an exception for you -- this is not the norm (and why the premium wasn't set up to automatically adjust on your birthday). A policy is for 12MO and the premium shouldn't change unless you switch vehicles or move. Even if you were to be at fault in a collision, your premium wouldn't increase until renewal. The agent could probably get in trouble from head office if they were to be caught doing this frequently.
