RE: is accident forgiveness really worth it in Ohio?
I’ve wondered about this too, especially since I drive a pretty average sedan and not a luxury car. The math gets tricky - if you’re paying an extra $60 a year for forgiveness, but your rates would jump by $500+ after on...
RE: is accident forgiveness really worth it in Ohio?
I hear you on the “not unlimited” part - definitely a letdown when you’ve got more than one rookie driver under your roof. That’s exactly what tripped me up when I first read the fine print. I figured with two kids and ...
RE: just saw a story about a guy in Kansas whose car got totaled by hail, and turns out his insurance didn't cover it.
Had a similar scare last year when a freak hailstorm rolled through my neighborhood. My car’s not exactly showroom material, but watching those golf ball-sized chunks bounce off the hood was still painful. I’d actually c...
RE: Why is figuring out how much car insurance you ACTUALLY need so confusing?
That’s the part that always trips me up. My car’s basically worth less than my phone at this point, but I still keep decent liability coverage because, well, people are expensive. Ever notice how state minimums seem wild...

RE: Insurance tips for my vintage ride needed

RE: Insurance tips for my vintage ride needed
Man, the adjusters really do have a sixth sense for finding the tiniest thing to question, don’t they? Totally agree on keeping the paperwork organized - I learned the hard way after losing out on a claim because I could...
RE: Why can’t I use my points AND a coupon at checkout?
Title: Why can’t I use my points AND a coupon at checkout? Honestly, I get where you’re coming from - it’s annoying when the app says “go for it” but the cashier’s like, “nope, not today.” But I kinda see the other side...
RE: SHOP AROUND OR STICK WITH THE FIRST DECENT QUOTE?
I swear, reading fine print feels like a full-time job sometimes. I once got a “deal” on a brake job, only to realize the pads were basically made from recycled soda cans. Lesson learned. Out of curiosity - anyone here e...
RE: Can Military Folks Really Get Cheaper Insurance Rates?
Mileage-based plans... been there, done that, got the overpriced bill to prove it. I initially thought it was genius since I commute daily but not super far. Turns out, weekend errands and occasional road trips add up fa...
RE: finally found an insurance company in CA that doesn't drive me nuts
Mileage-based policies sound great in theory, but I'm still hesitant. I mean, I drive daily for work, so I'm probably not the ideal candidate. But even if I drove less, I'd be worried about forgetting to log trips or mes...
