RE: What happens if your rideshare app is between trips and you get into an accident?
Yeah, insurance is a mess when it comes to rideshare. I’ve seen people get stuck in limbo because the app was on but no passenger - neither company wants to pay. You’re right about keeping your own records, though. I eve...
RE: Avoiding hefty fines for driving without insurance in OK - how I do it, but is there a better way?
Honestly, I just keep a current paper card in the sun visor and swap it out the day my new one comes in. Takes 30 seconds. Digital’s fine until your phone’s dead or you’re in a spot with no service - seen it happen. Thos...
RE: If You Had To Switch Insurance In Kentucky, Who Would You Trust?
Honestly, I’ve had more trouble with the big names than the local shops. Last time I had to file a claim, the national company just bounced me around for weeks. Local agent actually picked up the phone and got it sorted ...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?
Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like? Yeah, I get what you mean about not fully trusting the trackers. They’re glitchy. Mine once logged a trip while my car was parked at the airport...

RE: USAA vs State Farm: which claims process is less of a headache?
Yeah, I hear you. I’ve been through both too, and honestly, the waiting game with State Farm drove me nuts. At least with USAA, you know what’s going on, even if it means a stack of forms. It’s annoying either way, but I...
RE: stuck between Geico and Progressive in NY, thoughts?
I’ve bounced between both in NY. Geico’s roadside left me hanging when my car wouldn’t start in the middle of nowhere - had to pay extra for the tow. Honestly, I just stick with AAA now. The insurance roadside stuff alwa...
RE: Would your insurance hold up if your EV battery suddenly failed?
Yeah, that “wear and tear” line is where they always get you. I’ve had cars for years and it’s the same old story - if it’s just old, you’re out of luck. But if something weird happens, like a power surge or a short, the...
RE: DOES YOUR RIDE NEED EXTRA PROTECTION AT CAR SHOWS?
Locking lugs only for me - quick-release just seems like asking for trouble, especially at crowded shows. The hassle’s nothing compared to losing a set of wheels. Ever had anyone mess with your car at an event, or just h...
