Rates shouldn't be increased for anything that is your fault. If this happens quite a bit it can, it shows your increased exposure and companies will try to get some of that money back or get off the risk.

Would you car insurance rate go up after making a claim?
Yes, that is typically how it works. The more claims you have the higher the rate you pay.
Will your insurance premium go up for an act of god claim?
Yes and no. Insurance companies do not raise your rate because you filed a claim (this only applies to "Act of God" claims). Any claim related to weather like hail, wind, flood, tornado, etc. It's called a pooling effect, so if X# of people file a claim in your area everyone's rates go up whether you file a claim or not. Insurance companies do not raise your rate just because you filed a claim. Now, they can drop you for any reason they want, but are not likely to drop you because of an Act of God claim. If they drop you because you filed an Act of God claim, then you should definitely find a new insurance company.

How much will your insurance go up after an at fault accident?
It will vary based on the individual insurance company and their policy. You will loose any claim-free discount and the points for the accident will be added to rate the policy up. Usually it goes up 10-15 percent for the first claim.
Will your homeowners insurance go up if you file a claim?
Usually not. Most companies do not rate up for a claim. However, at this time it is very hard to get homeowners insurance at a good rate if you are cancelled by another company or if you have claims it is hard to move to another company. Insurance goes in cycles. For the past few years insurance companies have been loosing money on homeowners insurance so they have become much more careful with their underwriting. It is easier to get car insurance than home insurance. Most companies will not even write home insurance unless you also give them your auto insurance.
What if you cant find who hit your car?
Go for Insurance claim
If your parked car was hit by an at fault driver and filed a claim with your full coverage insurance will it go up?
Yes, anytime you make a claim to YOUR insurance, it will go up. That's how they get their money back. If you don't submit a claim to them, then no. I do not necessarily agree with the answer above. What you did not indicate in your question was did the person at fault have insurance. If they did then even though you filed a claim and your carrier paid you, they would likely recover from the at fault person's insurance. In this circumstance you insurance should not go up.
Will it go on your insurance as a claim if a police report is filed but you pay for the repairs to the other person's car yourself?
It will not go against your insurance because a claim has not been filed only a police report.
Will your homeowners insurance rate go up if you file a claim to replace your fence?
Most homeowners insurance does not increase rates due to claims. However, claims do determine whether or not a company continues to renew your policy. Especially now, if you are cancelled it is much harder to get home insurance.
