I get the logic behind the higher deductible thing, but honestly, with my luck, it just feels like tempting fate. I tried it once after my rates shot up from a couple of fender benders. Sure, my monthly payment dropped a bit, but when I actually needed to file a claim, that deductible hit way harder than I expected. My “emergency fund” was more like a wishful thinking jar at that point.

I guess if you’re disciplined about saving, it can work out, but for folks who tend to have bad luck or drive in busy areas (like me), sometimes the peace of mind is worth paying a little more each month. It’s not just about the numbers for me—it's about not stressing every time I get behind the wheel. Maybe I’m just risk-averse after too many close calls...
