RE: When The Other Driver Has No Insurance And Dings Your Car
I’ve never had a claim outright rejected for too few photos, but I’ve definitely had adjusters ask for more or say they can’t see enough detail. Sometimes it feels like they’re just looking for reasons to pay less. It’s ...
RE: Getting Cheaper Car Insurance by Proving You Drive Less
That’s a good point about persistence. I’ve run into similar roadblocks with my old Civic. The insurance company kept pushing their app-based tracker, but my car’s too old for Bluetooth and I’m not keen on having my phon...
RE: Why California’s minimum car insurance might not be enough
Honestly, I think the “full coverage” label is kind of a marketing trick. You can actually check your policy for terms like “comprehensive” (that’s usually theft, fire, etc.) and “collision” (accidents). It’s not always ...
RE: Getting caught without car insurance in Iowa is no joke
Honestly, I get why you’d want to double up, but I’m not sure it’s always necessary. I drive a lot for work and have only ever been asked for the digital card once - most of the time, the paper one is fine. I do wonder i...
RE: Digital Forms Vs. Old-School Paper: Which Makes Claims Smoother?
I totally get the glove box chaos - mine’s basically a black hole for old receipts and expired registration slips. But I’ve had my phone die at the worst possible time, like right after a long day at work when I needed t...

RE: Why does picking a deductible feel like a weird gamble?
I get what you mean, but I actually think there’s a bit more strategy to it than just luck. Have you looked at how much you’d save on your premium if you went with a higher deductible? For me, the difference between $500...
RE: is accident forgiveness really worth it in Ohio?
I hear you on the Ohio winters - sometimes it feels like no matter how careful you are, there’s always that one patch of black ice waiting for you. I’ve wondered the same thing about accident forgiveness. Is it really wo...
RE: Do you really need extra insurance for a rental in Montana?
Honestly, I get where you’re coming from - those “do you want extra coverage?” pitches at the counter always feel like a trap. But have you ever actually read your personal auto policy’s fine print? I found out mine does...
RE: DOES YOUR RIDE NEED EXTRA PROTECTION AT CAR SHOWS?
I totally get where you’re coming from - my old Corolla got its stereo ripped out at a local meet, and that was with people everywhere. Ever tried one of those GPS trackers? I’ve been thinking about adding one, but not s...
