Annual ripoff
<p>So this is my second year with Discovery car insurance. Like last year I recieved and adjustment of 100% plus on my car insurance. Like last year, i queried it and eventually Discovery admitted that there was an error. Last year my premium eventaully got adjusted with a reasonable rate. This year they want to increase my premium with 25%.</p> <p>It seems like it is Discovery's business model to try and get away with excessive annual increases.</p>
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I still see no justification for a 25% increase. In the preceeding year I had one claim. This claim was caused by a 3rd party and Discovery would have been able to recoop the cost from that party. The other argument that I am driving a high-risk vehicle does not hold water either. Unless there has been a drastic increase of thefts of vehicles similar to mine.
