RE: Dealing with insurance folks - anyone got tips?
The “wiggle room” point may be true in some claims, but it’s hard to tell whether an offer is low without a like-for-like comparison. For a vehicle claim, compare it with written estimates covering the same repair scope....
RE: Adding a teen driver in Hawaii: bundle with parents or separate policy?
I get what you mean about the telematics not always saving you money. My parents tried it with our insurance, and honestly, the discount was barely noticeable after all the “youthful driver” surcharges. Plus, it kinda st...
RE: Finally found a decent insurance deal as a newbie driver

RE: Best ways to snag insurance discounts in Alaska: driving record vs. bundling?
Yeah, I noticed that too. My cousin tried to add his sled and the premium basically doubled. Makes me wonder if it’s even worth insuring the thing sometimes. Has anyone actually seen a real discount from those “safe driv...
