That hits home. I remember when my minivan got a mystery dent in the grocery store lot—never bothered to fix it. But now that we haul kids everywhere,...
I totally get where you’re coming from. Last summer, we rented a minivan for a Yellowstone trip—three kids, gear everywhere, the works. I thought my r...
I get the logic behind it, but I still wrestle with paying for every possible “what if.” We’ve never had to use our uninsured motorist coverage in ove...
That “loss of use” clause really caught me off guard too. I remember thinking, “How can I be responsible for a car just sitting there?” The fine print...
Never had to use AAA for my old Mustang, but I did call them once for my minivan when the battery died at the grocery store—super fast, but I was swea...
