New Insurance Rates Set With Auto Premium Reductions
State Board of Insurance orders an average 4.3 percent cut in private auto premiums effective August 27, with an estimated 90 percent of motorists saving at least 25 dollars. Board Chairman Joe Christie notes further savings from September 1 when competitive rating law takes effect, while one company may cut rates 15 percent. A separate law could offset savings for some and raise costs. Automatic inclusion of at least 2500 personal injury protection coverage applies unless rejected in writing.
