They've already thought of that angle, and it won't fly.

 

So when I register my car again around April 15th, will I benefit from this? I'll be adding to the same policy the winter beater is under.

 

yes

 

I forgot how they covered that, but they did. There is some silly surcharge or something that makes it not work.

 

so is it tied to when you renew the registration or the policy?

 

it's when your policy is renewed

before April same rate - after april rate -less 10%

 

Insurance policy renewal, Steve, not registration.
Yep. They figured folks would do that and instated a penalty for dropping and reinstating your policy. It really was a nasty shell game. Rates are going down a huge amount. In April. Oh, yeah, the vast majority of you who renew in January have to wait until 2008 to see any reduction. If you drop and renew, we're going to penalize you. And by next year, we can raise the rates again. BOHICA.

 

We do get the short end of the stick here in Mass. You also know you have lived under these conditions too long when you think that $1200 a year is actually not bad for the S. I pay $750 for my '97 Avalon!!!!!

 

So, if you renew in march, will they change the rate for the remainder of the year after april? Or do you get stuck paying the higher rate for the whole year? If they do, that sucks eggs. I know when your step goes down mid year, they pro rate the remainder, so hopefuly they will do the same here.

 

860.00 for my 99 'lude with nut'n but basic
