I have auto insurance with AARP when i signed up with them i thought they are here to help out the over 55 age and over. I signed on for auto insurance for the year 2011-2012 have no ticketts or violations and cost me 400.00. Now for 2012-2013 they want 600.00 for same policy good drivers record not even a parking tickett.So i called them thinking they made a mistake,they told me "no mistake" to take it or leave it. SO DO NOT GO WITH BAIT AND SWITCH. STAY AWAY FROM AARP they are not here to help you ,just themselves to your money.

I have been insured with Hartford on both house and autos for several years. No surprise that my home policy has been increasing substantially each year even with the auto/house discount. However, last April I was told that my auto insurance premiums would be less with comprehensive insurance rather than just liability, so I took the bait. I just received my next 6mos, premium which has increased by another $30 dollars--and after signing on to their website as a new subscriber discovered that their liability only offer is much cheaper than carrying comprehensive. Four other insurance carriers offer liability only at even lower premiums. This is definitely "bait and switch" with Hartford! Insurance shoppers beware! I talked to an agent with Hartford who reassured me that comprehensive is still less expensive than liability coverage, even though it isn't. UNBELIEVABLE!!
