RE: Does WV roadside assistance cover a dead battery or flat tire at home?
The annual call limit or dollar cap doesn’t necessarily decide whether a home visit is covered. Those limits usually apply after the service qualifies. The separate issue is whether the vehicle is accessible and whether ...
RE: How picking a “boring” car turned into a wallet win
I get where you’re coming from, but I’ll admit - I went the opposite route and picked up a used luxury car a couple years back. It’s not exactly “boring,” but it’s also not a flashy sports model, so it kind of sits in th...
RE: Avoiding hefty fines for driving without insurance in OK - how I do it, but is there a better way?
I’ve wondered the same thing - why can’t we just have insurance tied directly to our license or registration? It’d save a lot of hassle, especially when you’re driving something newer and the officer’s never seen that ye...
RE: Do I really need extra insurance when renting a car in VA?
Honestly, I’ve wrestled with this too. I drive a pretty nice car back home and I’m always cautious, but when it comes to rentals, I lean toward skipping the extra insurance - unless it’s something really exotic or I’m tr...
RE: Letting friends drive your car in MN: better to add them or rely on permissive use?
I hear you on the hassle factor - nobody wants to be on hold with their insurer for every quick errand. That said, I tend to be a bit more cautious, maybe because my car’s on the pricier side. I let a friend drive it onc...
RE: Finding decent car insurance in Delaware without losing your mind
Finding Decent Car Insurance in Delaware Without Losing Your Mind It’s wild how premium hikes seem to hit everyone, regardless of what you’re driving. I’ve got a newer model - definitely not a Ferrari, but not a beater ...
RE: Letting friends drive your car in MN: better to add them or rely on permissive use?
I hear you - when you’re talking about an S-class, it’s not exactly the same as tossing someone the keys to a Camry. I’ve actually had my agent point out that some policies treat luxury cars differently, especially if th...
RE: Finding affordable car insurance after 65 in kansas - anyone else struggling?
I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, $8 a month adds up over the years - especially if you’re driving something pricier. I’ve found that sometimes the tracker programs are worth it if you’re already a cautious d...
RE: If You Had To Switch Insurance In Kentucky, Who Would You Trust?
Yeah, the level of detail they want can get pretty intense. I get that they’re trying to assess risk, but at some point it starts to feel like an audit instead of an application. I’ve had agents ask about my garage secur...
RE: Finding decent car insurance in Delaware without losing your mind
Big Discounts? Not Exactly My Experience I hear you on the app anxiety - mine seems to think my S-Class is a sports car and dings me for “hard braking” every time I try to avoid someone cutting me off. The whole “safe d...
RE: DOES YOUR RIDE NEED EXTRA PROTECTION AT CAR SHOWS?
DOES YOUR RIDE NEED EXTRA PROTECTION AT CAR SHOWS? I get where you’re coming from - car shows can be nerve-wracking, especially if you’ve put a lot of time (and money) into your ride. I’m pretty particular about my car,...
RE: Little-known trick with Progressive’s roadside help
That’s smart. I learned the hard way too - my S-Class battery died at a remote golf course, and roadside said I’d hit my “limit” for the year. Since then, I keep a portable jump starter in the trunk. Not cheap, but it’s ...
RE: CLASSIC CAR STORAGE: ARE NEW CITY RULES GOING TOO FAR?
I see your point about parking space, but honestly I think it's more complicated than just freeing up spots. In my neighborhood, they've started enforcing similar rules, and from what I've noticed, it's partly about aest...
RE: Scored a Sweet Auto Insurance Deal Thanks to My Military ID
I see your point - if you're mostly city-bound, a low-voltage cutoff might seem like overkill. But honestly, even in urban settings, it can be surprisingly useful. I installed one after my battery drained completely when...
