Auto Insurance Rates Rise in Virginia by 23.7 Percent
The Virginia State Corporation Commission approved an average 23.7 percent increase in auto insurance rates for bodily injury and property damage effective after July 1. Most insured see annual premiums rise by 8 to 16 dollars, with higher boosts for high risk groups such as young male drivers on farms, while a category covering servicing businesses was denied a 22 percent hike. The move follows a similar 7.25 percent rise last year, driven by higher medical payments, repairs, and accident frequency.
