Why does the price of auto insurance change — when the situation doesn't?

At Horace Mann, we want to provide educators the best auto insurance coverage

possible atthe most affordable price possible. And sometimes "the most affordable price possible" includes rates going up a little.

Some rate increases seem obvious — like if your driving habits change or you add a young driver to your policy. But sometimes, it may seem like a rate increase comes out of nowhere. That's not actually the case — it happens for a reason.

To receive a no-obligation auto insurance quote, contact your local Horace Mann representative. P.J.
