If your The General renewal in Pennsylvania came in higher, this is the source: The General filed for a rate increase (SERFF PGAC-134907337) and it was approved at +3.1% on about 69,974 policyholders, effective May 28, 2026. The figures below are approved filings pulled from the public SERFF system — not estimates — and every one links to its filing.
The +3.1% is an average. Your The General change ranges +16.8% to −2.3%.
A statewide rate change is one blended number, but The General did not move every driver by the same amount. Its own filing reports the spread: the largest increase in the book was about +16.8% and the largest decrease about −2.3%. So inside a “+3.1% average,” some The General drivers in Pennsylvania were raised far more than the headline and others were cut. Where you land depends on your ZIP, vehicle, age and driving record.
Other Pennsylvania insurers are cutting.
An increase is only worth acting on relative to the alternatives, and in Pennsylvania the direction is not uniform: Auto-Owners (−0.6%), NJM (−2.0%), and Nationwide (−10.0%) all filed decreases in the same period. A The General increase alongside competitor cuts is the clearest signal there is that the market has moved and your renewal has not.
