RE: Saving cash just for driving less? Didn’t think it was real
Yeah, I hear you. Those apps are way too sensitive - like, who never has to brake hard in city traffic? It’s not realistic unless you’re driving on cruise control in the middle of nowhere. And the tracking thing bugs me ...
RE: Best ways to snag insurance discounts in Alaska: driving record vs. bundling?
Bundling’s fine if you already need all those policies, but honestly, the best way I’ve found to cut costs is hammering them on what counts for Alaska specifically. Tracking apps are a joke up here - half the time, they ...
RE: Do I really need extra insurance when renting a car in VA?

RE: is accident forgiveness really worth it in Ohio?
I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, that’s rolling the dice a bit too much for my taste. Even if your car isn’t worth much, one at-fault accident can jack your rates for years - sometimes way more than what you...
RE: Why does insurance cost more in Houston than Austin or Dallas?
Honestly, insurance rates make zero sense half the time. I’ve had the same thing happen - moved to what everyone calls a “safer” neighborhood, and my premium shot up. I think it’s less about crime and more about what kin...
