RE: When The Other Driver Has No Insurance And Dings Your Car
Yeah, “full coverage” is one of those phrases that sounds way more reassuring than it actually is. It’s wild how many people assume it means you’re covered for literally anything that could happen to your car. I used to ...
RE: SCORED A SWEET DEAL ON INSURANCE THANKS TO MILITARY DISCOUNT
I get the logic behind sticking with the preferred shops, but I’ve had mixed results. One time, the “vetted” shop did a pretty shoddy paint match, and it took weeks to get them to redo it. My local guy might not have the...
RE: Why I was surprised to learn Nebraska requires uninsured motorist coverage
Yeah, “full coverage” is one of those phrases that sounds way more reassuring than it actually is. I remember thinking I was totally set until a hailstorm hit and suddenly my rental car wasn’t covered while mine was in t...

RE: Getting that student discount on car insurance… not as easy as I thought
Yeah, those apps are a bit much sometimes. I got flagged for “rapid acceleration” once just merging onto the highway - like, what am I supposed to do, crawl at 30? I get that it’s supposed to make us safer drivers, but i...
RE: Why is figuring out how much car insurance you ACTUALLY need so confusing?
Yeah, I totally get that vibe. When I was shopping around, I asked about “comprehensive” and thought it meant everything was covered. Turns out, I had to add roadside and rental separately - felt like buying toppings at ...
RE: Why does insurance cost more in Houston than Austin or Dallas?
I tried the telematics thing too - same deal, it kept flagging me for “aggressive acceleration” just merging onto 59. Didn’t see much of a discount, honestly. From what I’ve read, Houston’s higher rates are mostly becaus...
