I get wanting to skip the fine print, but I’ve been burned by not reading it before. Had a roadside claim denied once because of some random clause I missed. Talking to agents helps, but I still skim through the details just in case. Delaware’s rules are sneaky sometimes.
Yeah, Delaware’s insurance rules can be a real maze. I’ve had similar issues—one time, my classic Mustang needed a tow and the company tried to wiggle out of it because of some “distance from home” clause buried in the paperwork. Now I keep a highlighter handy when I’m reading through policies. Agents are helpful, but I’ve found they sometimes gloss over those weird little exceptions too. It’s a pain, but I’d rather catch it up front than get stuck later.

That “distance from home” clause gets a lot of people—had a similar thing happen with roadside assistance on my old truck. You’re right, agents can be helpful, but sometimes they breeze past those details. Highlighting is smart. I’ve started making my own cheat sheet for each policy just to keep track of the oddball exclusions. It’s tedious, but like you said, better to know now than get blindsided later. Delaware’s rules really do keep you on your toes.
That distance clause tripped me up once too—got a flat tire about 60 miles from home, figured I was covered, but nope. Turns out my policy only covered roadside within 50 miles. Learned that lesson the hard way. Now I keep a spreadsheet with all the weird little exceptions for each policy. It’s a pain, but it’s saved me more than once. Delaware really loves its fine print...

Man, that’s some next-level organization. I usually just hope for the best and end up scrolling through PDFs on my phone when something goes sideways. Honestly, half the time I feel like these “exceptions” are just traps. Has anyone actually found a policy in Delaware that’s up front about this stuff? Or is it just endless fine print no matter where you look?
