Austin officials consider a 23.4 percent average increase in auto insurance rates after staff recommendations. If limits hold, the increase could drop to 18.6 percent. Proposals include a 4.7 percent profit on policy writing and 8.7 percent tax allowance, while industry groups push for 27.7 percent.
