RE: Finding decent car insurance deals on the islands - my step-by-step
I’m with you there - no way am I letting an insurance company monitor my every move just to save a few bucks. About agreed value, though, I’ve heard mixed things. Some companies still want proof of “collectibility” or a ...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?
I’ve looked into mileage-based insurance too, and honestly, I had the same concerns. The idea sounds great if you barely drive, but my routine’s unpredictable - some weeks are all short trips, then suddenly there’s a 200...
RE: What happens if your rideshare app is between trips and you get into an accident?

RE: Getting that student discount on car insurance… not as easy as I thought

RE: If You Had To Switch Insurance In Kentucky, Who Would You Trust?

RE: Why can’t I use my points AND a coupon at checkout?
Honestly, I just want to buy my stuff and not feel like I’m prepping for a law exam every time I check out. I get why they don’t let us stack everything, but the hoops you have to jump through are wild. Last week, I trie...
RE: What happens if your rideshare app is between trips and you get into an accident?
That’s exactly what worries me. I’m just starting out with insurance and already finding out how little “it’s fine” actually covers. The exclusions are buried in the paperwork, and half the time I’m not even sure what co...
RE: SHOP AROUND OR STICK WITH THE FIRST DECENT QUOTE?
