There could be some clause in your state DOI contract that allows them to do that. I’m not familiar with Hawaii regulations, but I know stateside, any state that has an annual inspection requirement as part of the registration process, the odometer reading is usually sent in the file to the insurance company. The company I worked for didn’t use the info for rating, but that doesn’t mean others don’t.

So I got a used car about 6 mo ago. Nothing fancy, just something to get me around instead of taking the bus.

So my car insurance company mails me my premium increased due to the odometer reading. Huh? I never gave them any update on the reading.

So I met the agent today and she says she got it from a 'third party vendor'. I'm like who is that? She said it was the car dealership I bought it from.

Sure enough, I guess when I brought the car in for 6 mo service, they reported the reading and sent it the insurance company. But can they do that without my consent? I never authorized anyone to send any car information to anybody.

I had a bad experience with American Family a couple of years into driving and I've had State Farm ever since. My agents do work to keep my premium low. Over the last 10 years or so it has required a couple of calls, but the agent's office asks the right questions and make sure they get the right answers from me, which is great. About a year ago, it went down $90 per 6 months without me needing to do anything.

Gotta figure if you drive 30K miles per year, WHILE LIVING ON AN ISLAND, you must be doing the Uber thing or delivering poi door-to-door, and should be charged accordingly for your insurance, so it makes sense to me to rate accordingly, Getting the mileage from a third party, now that's pretty tricky to rock around...

You got older. So you did do something.

Yes, I've been doing Uber in the daytime and it's putting the miles on the car. I know when I got insurance they said I would have to report mileage every 6 mo. Of course, if say I had drivien 5000 miles in 6 mo, I am definitely going to report something like 2500/3000. But those jerks beat me to the punch and got the more accurate reading from my last service a month ago. Really tricky. I'm sure there has to be some kind of consumer protection for this.

how is it shady? why do they need my reading? that's bs. Not giving an exact reading to save some $$ isn't shady I dont think. I'm pretty honest on everything but when they try to screw me like this without my consent it's bs. Lawyer is back next week.

You're my guy Hawaii. I'm not against shady. Not by damn sight. I admire that you pulled off the shady with subterfuge as well as you did.
