I've used AO for years, though I am about to start shopping around again. Their rates have jumped 10-15% every year since I signed with them. Could be the entire market has seen similar increases, but it still pisses me off enough to check with other providers.

I haven't used these guys since 2006-ish, but they were always very reasonably priced when I insured just the bikes without an auto/home bundle:

ACE Cycle Insurance

Yeah and for me State Farm had great rates but they kept increasing to the point that their rates were out of hand...

I think it varies a bunch from state to state.

Some companies will do that; depending upon customer inertia to keep them, while slowly increasing their rates. Unfortunately it works, because most people are too lazy to shop around for cheaper rates. It's the same thing as the old 'slowly increasing the temperature and boiling a frog.'

Yeah you may be right. I know it is some time to put in to switch.

That's what State Farm did to me. The car was steadily climbing up, so I just said fuck it. Went to Geico and they shaved off almost $200.
