It's a scam, anyway. I did it once with Progressive when I got my first car. Had good ratings, was promised a solid discount. Next bill comes and it's the same amount as the previous bill. I call them and they say that the rate went up but with the discount it conveniently went back to the old rate.

That’s some bullshit.

I've had the same experience with a different insurance provider. In a different country.

They're all the same.
