Someone messaged me about their insurance rates with the exact same company (Scottsdale) and their rate is 2.5x mine for the same coverage. Here’s the thing about insurance. Commissions are a percentage of premium. If a random company has little experience in our industry they may as well put you under a NAIC code that boosts their bottom line. Not saying they all do, but some very well may.

That’s my NAIC code. No fleet washing. Lifts only above 2 stories. Etc.
Ask your agent what the limitations of your policy are and your NAIC code is. I.e. ladders up to 3 stories. That extra story may be increasing your premium.
Lastly, if your NAIC code is different anywhere than it is on your D&B report that’s a red flag when you go to apply for business only credit. And if you fall under any repair or construction-ish NAIC (even painting and some pressure washing companies do) good luck ever getting favorable business only loans.
Hopefully that’s helpful, Merry Christmas, and good luck!
