RE: Finding decent car insurance deals on the islands - my step-by-step
That’s pretty much how I felt when I saw the “windscreen cover” option - like, am I insuring a Ferrari or a Ford? Honestly, sometimes I wonder if anyone’s ever actually claimed on hire car cover and come out ahead. Has a...
RE: Getting Lost in the Maze of Uber and Lyft Insurance Rules

RE: Quick Tips for When Your EV Leaves You Stranded
Had a similar thing happen to me a few months back. Thought I was being smart by checking the app beforehand, but when I got there, two chargers were down and the third was being hogged by someone who seemed to be binge-...
RE: Finally figured out how car insurance works in no-fault states
Yeah, learned the timestamp lesson myself after reviewing footage from a minor fender-bender - apparently, it happened in 2015 according to my dashcam. 🙄 I've noticed Garmin dashcams seem pretty solid with date/t...
RE: quick heads-up on Arkansas auto insurance basics
Haha, tell me about it...got pulled over twice in one month last year. My wallet still hasn't forgiven me. Definitely worth double-checking those little coverage extras, they sneak up on you.
