Car insurance rates are rising:

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. It's Monday. It's still hot. Let's get it started on your week.

Has your car insurance bill gone up? You are likely not alone. Louisiana's car insurers have been given the green light by state regulators to increase rates across the board, with one of the largest companies hiking its average price by nearly 34%.

Insurance commissioner Jim Donelon cautioned drivers that the auto insurance system is complex and opaque, and said rates for some could be much higher than the average while othes might actually see a decrease. He urged drivers to shop around for the most competitive price.

Check out the story here. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day.
