RE: When The Other Driver Has No Insurance And Dings Your Car
That’s the part that drives me nuts too. You can do everything right - drive defensively, park away from the chaos, keep your record clean - and still get dinged (literally and financially) because someone else couldn’t ...
RE: Bundling insurance with USAA: worth it or just hype?
That “creep” is exactly what bugs me about bundling. I’ve got three kids and a minivan, so I’m always weighing convenience against cost, but those little increases add up fast. I get why people stick with one company - l...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?
Couldn’t agree more. I tried Metromile for a bit because my driving dropped a ton after we had our second kid - figured it’d be a no-brainer. But between the base rate (which was higher than I expected) and the random “f...

RE: Getting that student discount on car insurance… not as easy as I thought
I totally get the urge to wait until they ask, but I’m with you - being proactive just feels safer. I’ve had my fair share of “where did I put that?” moments, especially when it comes to school paperwork. Last year, I to...
RE: What to do when the other driver has no insurance
I hear you on the hassle, but I’m always nervous about not having a police report, even for minor stuff. My insurance actually asked for one when someone sideswiped our minivan at soccer practice - nothing major, but the...
RE: Finding decent car insurance in Delaware without losing your mind
I get what you mean about the runaround - had a fender bender last year, and it felt like I was the one on trial instead of just trying to get my car fixed. The big-name companies love their forms and “investigations,” b...
