Yeah, the “high risk” label is rough. I had a fender bender a couple years back and my rates jumped, even though I drive like a grandma now. I tried M...
Had a similar deal last March—got a flat just outside Rawlins, and my “24/7” roadside assistance was basically useless. After two hours of waiting, I ...
