RE: Saving cash just for driving less? Didn’t think it was real
I get where you’re coming from. I rack up miles like crazy too - sometimes I’ll do 400 in a weekend just chasing a good view or a weird roadside diner. Pay-per-mile was a nonstarter for me, even before I looked at the nu...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?
I hear you. I tried one of those programs for a few months - Progressive’s Snapshot, if you’re curious. My rate actually went up a bit because of “hard braking” alerts, even though it was just normal city driving. It’s f...

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