RE: WHY DOES PAYING MONTHLY COST MORE THAN PAYING ANNUALLY?
I get where you’re coming from, but I kinda see it from the other side too. When I was saving up for my driver’s test, I had to pay for lessons monthly, and honestly, I was always scrambling to make sure I didn’t miss a ...
RE: Running out of gas and waiting forever for help
I totally get the “peace of mind” angle. I just started driving last year, and my parents insisted I get one of those roadside memberships before I even touched the keys. I remember being kind of annoyed about it - like,...
RE: Choosing between basic liability and full coverage for your first car - what did you go with?
I totally relate to that “what if” feeling - especially as a newer driver. I went with liability on my first car since it was already pretty old, but I remember stressing about every little scratch at first. My logic was...
RE: Why I was surprised to learn Nebraska requires uninsured motorist coverage
That would be awesome, honestly. My dad’s got an old truck that barely leaves the driveway except for car shows, and he grumbles about the insurance every year. I get why the state wants to keep it simple, but it does fe...
RE: Why California’s minimum car insurance might not be enough
I totally get what you mean. My cousin had a fender bender last year - nothing major, but the other driver claimed whiplash and suddenly the bills just kept piling up. Their insurance barely covered half of it, and they’...
RE: Letting friends drive your car in MN: better to add them or rely on permissive use?
Totally get this. I let my roommate drive my car a couple times when I was learning, and I thought it was no big deal... until my dad started grilling me about “who’s actually covered.” Turns out, insurance folks aren’t ...
RE: Why I was surprised to learn Nebraska requires uninsured motorist coverage
I used to think all those extra boxes you check when you sign up for insurance were just ways for them to squeeze more money out of you. But after my first year of driving, I totally get why uninsured motorist coverage i...
RE: Why can’t I use my points AND a coupon at checkout?
I had almost the exact same thing happen at the grocery store last week. I’d been saving up points for ages, and finally found a coupon that actually applied to something I wanted. Figured I’d walk out with a killer deal...
RE: Finding affordable car insurance after 65 in kansas - anyone else struggling?
Title: Finding affordable car insurance after 65 in kansas - anyone else struggling? I totally get what you mean about the tracker dinging you for stuff that’s just part of driving out here. Last winter, I got flagged f...
RE: anyone else feel like AAA insurance isn't what it used to be?
I get what you mean about wanting things to be predictable. Last year, I had my first fender bender (ugh) and was honestly relieved AAA just followed their process, even if it was a bit slow. I’d heard horror stories fro...
RE: Deductibles and premiums - what's the real deal?
I totally get where you’re coming from. I used to think the same way - why pay more every month if you might never need it? But then my friend had a fender bender right after getting her license, and the deductible nearl...
RE: What happens if your rideshare app is between trips and you get into an accident?
I totally get what you mean about needing a flowchart - when I first started driving, I tried to read through all the insurance stuff and ended up more confused. I actually had a close call once while waiting for a ride ...
RE: Deductibles and premiums - what's the real deal?
I totally get where you’re coming from. I used to think the same way - like, why pay extra every month for something that might never happen? But then, last year, my friend (who’s also a pretty careful driver) got rear-e...
RE: quick heads-up on Arkansas auto insurance basics
I hear you, but I’ll admit, I’m one of those “just in case” folks. Had a situation last year where my little sedan got rear-ended, and the only rental they had was a pickup. I thought it’d be fun, but trying to parallel ...
RE: My insurance nightmare in Rhode Island traffic court
Yeah, I’ve actually had a similar experience. When I first got my policy, I just assumed everything was set up right, but after a review, the agent found out I qualified for a good student discount that somehow got misse...
