RE: Do you really need extra insurance for a rental in Montana?
Yeah, that’s a fair call. I’ve noticed rental companies in Montana can be strict about prior incidents too, especially if you’re picking up at the airport. One thing I’d add - some credit cards offer secondary coverage, ...
RE: Shelter vs. State Farm for home insurance in Missouri - any strong opinions?
- Been down this road a couple times, so I get the anxiety. - State Farm did drag their feet for me after a windstorm, but my cousin got his check from them in under two weeks - seems hit or miss depending on your adju...
RE: Getting Lost in the Maze of Uber and Lyft Insurance Rules
Title: Getting Lost in the Maze of Uber and Lyft Insurance Rules - 100% agree on the “no-man’s-land” feeling during that waiting-for-a-ride phase. It’s the most confusing part, and honestly, not enough drivers realize t...
RE: Finding decent car insurance deals on the islands - my step-by-step
Totally get the frustration - insurance can feel like a money pit, especially here where rust is just part of life. I’ve had to argue with adjusters about what counts as “damage” vs. “just island living.” Still, I keep m...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?
I’ve had that exact same paranoia, especially the first time I plugged in the dongle under the dash. That click when it goes in? Feels way too close to “setting off a booby trap” territory. I use Allstate’s Milewise and ...
RE: How picking a “boring” car turned into a wallet win
Trading in my WRX for a Corolla was a similar story. Here’s what I noticed after a year: - Insurance: Dropped by about 40%. Didn’t realize how much the “fun” tax was until it was gone. - Gas: Not as big a difference as ...
RE: Classic car insurance and the annual mileage cap - worth it?
Mileage caps are honestly the main reason I haven’t switched to classic insurance for my old Volvo. Here’s what I’ve run into: - Daily commute eats up miles fast - even a 10-mile round trip adds up way quicker than you’...
RE: Cutting my car insurance bill in half - didn’t think it was possible here
Cutting Coverage: Worth It or Not? Been there myself - commute’s about 40 miles round trip, so I’ve had to weigh this a lot. Here’s what happened when I dropped down to liability-only last year: - Saved about $60/month...
RE: Getting that student discount on car insurance… not as easy as I thought
Yeah, I’ve noticed some of the same quirks with those apps. It’s wild how one time it’ll ding you for a quick merge, but then completely ignore when you have to do a controlled stop because someone’s jaywalking. Just fee...
RE: Rising premiums for business vehicle fleets - anyone else notice this?
Yeah, it’s wild how “advanced” safety features end up costing way more when something goes wrong. I had a side mirror clipped last year - used to be a cheap fix, but with the blind spot sensors and all, it was over $900....
RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
Yeah, totally agree with this. I’ve had a local agent remember my dog’s name but then totally ghost me when my windshield cracked. On the flip side, a big-name company once handled my deer collision claim in like two day...
RE: Finding decent car insurance in Delaware without losing your mind
Yeah, that line drives me nuts too. Last time my SUV was in the shop, the rental they offered was a tiny sedan - barely fit my gear for work. Here’s what I’ve noticed: - Most policies don’t specify class, just “comparab...
RE: little-known ways to snag cheaper insurance in Alaska
Yeah, those telematics trackers can be a pain, especially up here where “hard braking” is just surviving the wildlife. I hear you on the windshield thing - Alaska roads chew through glass. Bundling’s been solid for me to...
RE: WHEN DOES PAYING EXTRA FOR MEDICAL COVERAGE ON AUTO POLICIES MAKE SENSE?
I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve actually dropped med pay for a few years now. Here’s why: - My health insurance covers most stuff after the deductible, and I rarely hit that anyway. - Med pay premiums add up, e...
