We have been with AARP for several years and decided a few years ago to switch auto insurance to Hartford because of their affiliation with AARP.  For no apparent reason Hartford raised our auto insurance premium 45% this time around.  Can AARP help us with this problem?

    Our Hartford rate went up 27% for a 6 month policy, that's 54% annually which is and should be unsustainable for most AARP members. As far as this rate hike from  Hartford and their business plan  AARP needs to reassess their relationship and quit promoting it.

      Hi @SuzanL826921. The most recent term increased was most due to a rate revision The Hartford implemented in all states. We asked that members contact The Hartford directly to go over any options that will be available to help offset the cost. If this is related to an auto policy, there’s been a increase in supply chain issues, labor shortages, and the frequency and severity of car accidents. These trends, combined with medical costs continuing to soar, have caused the price of most accidents to rise. It was necessary for The Hartford to increase their prices to keep up with the costs for repairing or replacing damaged vehicles and helping to indemnify those harmed in losses. There may also be specific factors that may cause a member's policy to increase such as a change in age, your driving record, how your vehicle is used, your vehicle symbol and coverage limits, loss of a discount, and any other changes made to your policy.

        I tried doing this three times and your username didn't work.  Why wouldn't you sign your message with at least your first name?

          If you have difficulties sending private messages via the link, you can select the username, then once you are on their profile "send private message" is located on the right of the page. This method should auto-populate with the person you are attempting to send a message to. Otherwise, you may call the number Stephfan provided above. I hope this helps!
