That’s the kicker, right? They dangle the “rural discount” carrot, then whack you with the “you live in the boonies” stick. I’ve seen people get bette...
I hear you on the “loss of use” fees—those can be brutal, and most credit card coverage doesn’t touch them. Honestly, unless you’re super comfortable ...
