What they mean is that the company submitted new rates (higher rates) for the area and the state commissioner approved them. So when OP called the dept he spoke with they weren’t telling the whole truth. There is an increase in the state but it’s done by the company.

The reason for this is that rates are different for every person. I get lower rates with the big companies compared to the small ones, sometimes the difference is 300%!.

Thanks will look into those. As for the snow blower, how big are those things? As a potential renter idk if I’ll even have the space to store it. It’s good to know about though.

I totally forgot about tires, what would be some of the best I can get for my suv?
