At a Glance

• Inflation hits home, auto repairs hard. It costs a lot more now to repair a home or auto
than it did just a few years ago, thanks to inflation. The Hanover Insurance Group reports that
home building material costs are up 26%, and 89% of contractors are having trouble finding
workers. That means it will cost much more to repair your home after a loss, and it is likely to take
much longer to get it fixed. The same is true with auto repairs, where inflation has reached 15%.
The cost of rental cars is up about 30%, Hanover reports. When insurers experience
higher costs, they typically pass those expenses on to their policyholders in the form of premium increases. MDA
