Yeah, I hear you on the “just in case” stuff. I used to think I was saving money by dropping extras, but after my second fender bender (not proud of that), I realized things like roadside assistance and rental coverage aren’t just fluff. Ever get hit with those out-of-pocket costs? They add up fast. I’m curious—does anyone actually read the fine print on their policy? I found out the hard way that my deductible was way higher than I thought... Not fun.
Honestly, I used to skim the paperwork and just focus on the premium. After one claim, I realized I had no clue what was actually covered. The deductible thing stings—been there too. I’m always trying to balance cost and coverage, but it’s tough to know what’s truly necessary. Has anyone found any Delaware-specific perks or discounts that aren’t super obvious? Sometimes I wonder if bundling with home insurance is really worth it or just marketing...
Bundling isn’t always the magic bullet people think it is—sometimes you save, sometimes you just end up with more paperwork. Delaware does have some weird little discounts, like for defensive driving courses or even low mileage, but they’re not always advertised. Curious—has anyone actually done the math on bundling vs. separate policies? I’ve seen it go both ways depending on the carrier and coverage needs.

I’ve crunched the numbers a few times, especially since I keep a couple of classics and a daily driver. For me, bundling sounded great until I realized the “discount” was wiped out by higher premiums on the specialty car. Separate policies let me tailor coverage—agreed value for the classic, basic for the beater. It’s more paperwork, sure, but peace of mind is worth it. Those defensive driving discounts are real, though... just gotta ask.
Has anyone actually had luck negotiating rates with agents, or is that just a myth? I’ve heard some people say you can get better deals if you call and ask about “loyalty” perks, but I’m not sure if that’s just marketing talk.
