FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 27, 2008 -- Hikes of 2 to 11 percent common

ATLANTA - Thousands of Georgia drivers may see substantial increases in their auto insurance rates - as much as 81 percent, for certain motorists - as insurance companies begin setting their own rates under a new law that took effect Oct. 1

Nineteen insurance companies have set new rates that renewing or new customers will encounter, with 14 enacting average increases between 2 percent and 11 percent, according to the state Insurance Commissioner's Office.

But the increases are much higher for certain drivers. A 28-year-old male with a DUI conviction, an accident or other violations who is insured through Central Mutual Insurance Co. can expect his rate to climb 81 percent.
