The Hartford - Bait and Switch

[RichardK493092]

Switched to The Hartford via AARP last November. Got my first renewal and my autos went up 29%. No explanation provided when I called. No tickets, claims, accidents either. 

So, what was a savings versus my previous insurance company is now more expensive. 

AARP- this feels like a slimy bait and switch. I'm going back to my former insurance company.

Just got off the phone with my prior insurance company and am most likely going back to them. Have until my policy ends on May 26th to decide. 

Meanwhile, now scratching my head as to how this can possibly be a "benefit" of AARP when I can get great rates without having my AARP membership. 

So, what do you all find that with your AARP membership that's worth it?
