RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
I’ve had the same issue with telematics - got dinged for “aggressive acceleration” when I was just merging onto I-25 with a semi barreling up behind me. It really does feel like these apps are designed for city stop-and-...

That’s good to hear your policy actually came through for you, even if it took some effort. I’ve always wondered how much the “fine print” really matters, and your experience kind of proves it does. I’ve had mixed result...
RE: SCORED A SWEET DEAL ON INSURANCE THANKS TO MILITARY DISCOUNT

I’ve bounced between both over the years, and honestly, your summary lines up with what I’ve seen. That bit about Geico’s payment speed for repairs - - matches my experience. Had a fender bender in Queens last winter, a...
RE: Confused about insurance rules in South Dakota - help me figure this out
I’ve run into a similar situation, though not quite as dramatic - just a routine stop outside Rapid City, but my phone was dead and I only had the digital card. The officer was understanding, but it definitely slowed thi...
