RE: Insurance tips for my vintage ride needed
Dashcams aside, one thing you might actually get a discount for is installing an approved immobilizer or alarm system. Vintage cars often lack modern security features, and insurers tend to reward proactive measures agai...
RE: finally found an insurance company in CA that doesn't drive me nuts
I actually ran the numbers on splitting vs. bundling last year when my renewal came up. Bundling initially looked cheaper, but once I factored in the specialty coverage for my weekend classic separately, it flipped. Ende...
RE: Car Insurance in Delaware - Any Hidden Gems or Hacks?
Good point about the hassle factor - I've been tempted by splitting policies before, but your experience makes me reconsider. Maybe I'll crunch numbers again, but convenience does count for something, especially after an...
RE: Confused about insurance rules in South Dakota - help me figure this out

Dashcams can definitely help clear things up, but honestly, insurers aren't always as quick to accept footage as you'd hope. I've had a dashcam for about three years now, and while it's reassuring to have the video evide...
RE: HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON THE RIGHT DEDUCTIBLE FOR YOUR INSURANCE?
That's exactly how I approach it. I commute daily, so I've crunched the numbers quite a bit. For me, it's helpful to first estimate how much I'd comfortably pay out-of-pocket if something happened. Then I compare the pre...
RE: Finally figured out how car insurance works in no-fault states
Dashcams are handy, but honestly, I've had one for two years and haven't needed it once. Feels more like peace-of-mind insurance than something you'll realistically use. Still waiting on my turkey chase moment too...
