RE: Saving a few bucks on insuring your vintage ride
Yeah, no kidding. I used to think keeping every little receipt was overkill, but after a buddy of mine got into a fender bender with his '72 Beetle and the insurance tried to lowball him, I started rethinking things. He ...
RE: Bundling insurance with USAA: worth it or just hype?
Bundling always sounds like a win, but I get what you mean about the “extras.” That line you wrote - - hits home for me. I’ve been burned before by assuming bundled coverage meant everything was just as good as sta...
RE: Classic car insurance and the annual mileage cap - worth it?
Yeah, the mileage cap feels like a buzzkill, especially when you just want to take your car out for a random drive. I get the logic, but it does make things less fun. The GPS tracker’s a solid idea, though - my buddy had...
RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
Yeah, those “market adjustments” always feel like a cop-out, don’t they? I’ve had the same thing happen - no changes on my end, but suddenly my premium creeps up. I get why you’re skeptical about accident forgiveness. I ...

RE: Do you really need extra insurance for a rental in Montana?
I always do a quick check: does my credit card cover rentals? Does my regular car insurance extend to rentals? If yes, I skip the extra. If not, I grit my teeth and pay. Moose are rare, but rental companies love any excu...
RE: What happens if your rideshare app is between trips and you get into an accident?
That part about just having the app open is wild, right? I had to call my agent twice because I couldn’t believe it. From what I gathered, some insurers start their “rideshare period” coverage as soon as you log in, but...
RE: DOES YOUR RIDE NEED EXTRA PROTECTION AT CAR SHOWS?
I hear you on the “heist movie” vibe - sometimes it does feel like overkill. Here’s how I look at it: I just do the basics - lock up, park where there’s people, snap a few pics, and don’t leave anything tempting in sight...
