This is good news if you have that emergency fund in place because you would only need to go accident free for about two years to justify the higher deductible. Of course if you are accident prone, you may be better off with the higher deductible and higher premium.

I just got my car insurance bill in the mail today, and it's a bit larger than I remember. Time to shop around again. From your first point -being careful on the open road -the first point was the reason that I had my only car accident ever - not focused. I was at a stoplight and the traffic started moving - and so did I. I looked at my radio to change the station. I looked back up and traffic had stopped already! I didn't have time to stop and I hit the jeep in front of me (at low speed). The other car didn't have any damage, but my hood was crunched, and there was a hole in my bumper. Luckily I knew a cheap body work guy who gave me a new hood and patched my bumper for less than a thousand dollars - so I didn't claim the accident since it was just over my deductible anyway. Why see my rates go up? Timely post. I just got my car insurance bill in the mail today, and it’s a bit larger than I remember. Time to shop around again.
