    it was only car insurance

    Aha, I forgot the thread’s title and just assumed it was home insurance if it differs that much. The new neighborhood had higher incidence of vandalism maybe, or historically many bad drivers? But yeah, I’d probably risk that as well; a car is mobile, so no reason to have such a huge difference. Would never risk renters/home insurance though.

      It was crazy how much extra the car insurance was simply based on where it was “garaged.” Yes, I was moving from the quietest suburb to downtown, which means more vandalism, car theft, and crazy drivers. It makes sense from the insurance perspective, but my perspective was they were insuring how good my driving is.
