The NC Rate Bureau is looking to increase automobile insurance rates by 11.5 percent this year.
Last year, the state insurance department negotiated no change in the rates following a Rate Bureau request to raise rates by 12.2 percent.
Sherri Hubbard, a spokeswoman with State Insurance Commissioner Jim Long's office, said in a prepared statement that the department is unsure if the proposed increase is warranted.
"It will take us some time to fully review this filing, and the Rate Bureau is calculating things differently this year," Hubbard said. "Upon initial inspection, we believe this request may not be based on worsening experience -- that is, more claims being paid out -- but rather as the result of new methodology."
