Insurance renewal question!

Hey guys just a quick question! :)

I bought an old bike last june and accepted an insurance quote from statefarm for around 1700/yr. Bike died in late October and I got a new one (zx10r) this year in march(which I updated immediately with statefarm).

My insurance jumped (obviously) but I accepted the new rate at 3150/year. When I got my card in the mail it said the card expires in June 2016? After reading about sf increases on supersport bikes, Im a bit worried. Does upgrading a new bike automatically renew insurance or does it still continue on the old term? All answers are appreciated!

Im also 24, m2 for one year, and no accident/claims at all. I also have a car with them.

Can't call and ask? Changing something on your policy (new car, house, driver, etc..) won't reset the renewal date.

^ What he said ^

You will get new pink slips with renewal papers in mail 30-40 days before the June expiration date

You paid a portion of the $3150 when you switched mid term in March (prorated from Mar to Jun). From June of this year to June of next year (2017) your premium will be $3150

Thanks for the detailed response! So the new rate wont likely change? Thats honestly my biggest concern right now. I just think its ridiculous if they quote you one price for a year and then 3 months later it becomes double that price.
 
You can call ~40 days before your renewal date and they will tell you what will be the exact amount. (I think they lock that down 45 days before renewal)
 
The $3150 is for this year till June 2016. You are paying from when you got the new bike to June 2016 a percentage of the $3150. When it's renewal time in June 2016, they could up the amount. You should check around a good month or more before your renewal and see what quotes you get.

Fair enough, they keep asking me to wait until late Mayish, until then I guess I will shop around. Thanks again for your answer!
