A report from the Consumer Federation of America says car insurance companies may charge you more money for a quote if you used a small insurance company to cover your vehicle in the past.
The report says Allstate, Farmers and American Family all charged higher rates if your last insurance was with a smaller company like Titan or Safeco.
The Consumer Federation of America also found that the companies charged more to people who lived in one city versus another.
Former Texas Insurance Commissioner J. Robert Hunter says the practice penalizes drivers in low income communities.
