RE: Finding decent car insurance deals on the islands - my step-by-step
Right? You’d think in 2024 there’d be a “no glare” mode for odometer pics. I tried those screen protectors too - just made my dash look like it had cataracts. Honestly, I’ve resorted to snapping the pic at night with the...
RE: Getting Lost in the Maze of Uber and Lyft Insurance Rules
Honestly, I try to read through the whole thing but my eyes glaze over halfway in... Insurance docs are like a foreign language. I usually just look for the big stuff - deductibles, coverage limits, that kind of thing. B...
RE: If You Had To Switch Insurance In Kentucky, Who Would You Trust?
Not sure I’m totally on board with the idea that local agents are always more upfront. I mean, yeah, I get the appeal - face-to-face, you can ask all your questions and they’ll usually walk you through the policy. But I’...
RE: Getting Lost in the Maze of Uber and Lyft Insurance Rules
Seriously, it’s like they want a full documentary before they’ll even look at your claim. I’ve had adjusters nitpick over the tiniest scratch, even with all my records and photos. Makes me wonder if “premium” just means ...

RE: Letting friends drive your car in MN: better to add them or rely on permissive use?
Honestly, I used to think “full coverage” meant I could just toss my keys to anyone and not worry, but yeah… not quite. I’ve got a newer BMW and after hearing horror stories about insurance only covering aftermarket part...
RE: anyone else feel like AAA insurance isn't what it used to be?
Yeah, I’ve been feeling that too. Used to think paying more for AAA was worth it for my car, but lately it’s like they’re just cutting corners everywhere. Last time I needed a tow, the wait was ridiculous - felt like any...
RE: Why does insurance cost more in Houston than Austin or Dallas?
It’s wild how much the zip code thing can swing your rates, even if you’re nowhere near the “problem” areas. I’ve got a newer Benz and my insurance is nuts, partly because of the car but also just because I’m in Houston ...
