My SF auto insurance is about $300 / month for 3 vehicles and ATV.

Dividend was $250 total, divided into 4 different smaller dividends per policy

A quick look at claims data would suggest otherwise. It's ironic how COL is talked about ad nauseam but you think that if people suffered a substantial loss they'd somehow be far ahead in life? I can point to about 100 claims from one tornado that would suggest that's fiction.

I didn't receive an email, and I'll have to check with the wife to see if we got a letter, but I went to the State Farm dividend portal, and it says I'm getting $26. That doesn't seem right.

I'm insuring two vehicles - 16 Mazda and 21 Ram - that I'm paying $300 a month for full coverage.

e had no claims. No wrecks. Insured the entire year.

I’d love to know how they cut these things up because I’m sure it’s slim amount of folks paying as much as I do for car insurance in this state for 2 vehicles at the coverage level I have $1M/$1M/$1M


I have 6 cars, a wife (no pics) and three boys under 22, and my monthly total is $832 and thats with $1Mil on all but one vehicle.

and we have 2 wrecks on the books within the last 3 years.

You're getting raped.

You clearly did not actually look up claims analysis

It isn’t an opinion. The average person undeniably comes out ahead in life if they were to never purchase insurance

My agent says there is a problem. That dividend was from Oct+. Rest of it is out there somewhere.

I got $50 back on two cars, but my insurance is super low. No wrecks, no tickets, and paired with homeowner's.

I received an amount roughly equal to my premium. I wasn't sure if the email was a phishing attempt, but it was fairly easy to set up the electronic payment via Zelle.

I'll take it!

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. One claim and they are financially ruined. I've seen both sides of it every day.

Here's the issue, you should have received 4 emails. Two were for your old policy numbers, two for your policies when they migrated to the multi car policy.

Poor girl we know got into a wreck and totaled her car.

Liability only. She is now walking everywhere and hitching rides. Brutal.
