It's a product both buyer and seller hope you never have to use: car insurance... but how do you know if you're getting the best deal? Pam Davis was shocked when she open her car insurance renewal. "It went up significantly. [I] don't know [why]. I didn't have any tickets," she said. Pam's 15-year-old daughter, Taylor, will get her license this year, jacking her rate up even more.
