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.

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

They're all the same.

That’s some bullshit.
