Wilmington, DE., February 25, 2013 — State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the largest insurer of autos in Delaware and in the nation, is raising its overall rate level in Delaware an average of 3.8 percent. This change will go into effect on February 25, 2013.
Premiums for the liability and personal injury protection coverage are increasing. The cost of the collision and comprehensive coverages will go down for most policies. The comprehensive coverage pays for losses from such perils as theft, storm damage, fire, vandalism and glass breakage.
Overall premium changes for individual motorists will vary depending on factors such as the coverages they carry, the discounts for which they qualify, where they live, the kind of car insured, who drives it and how much it is driven.
