Mileage-based insurance is a mixed bag for me too. I tried Metromile with my S-Class, thinking it’d be a win since I don’t rack up tons of miles. But ...
Why does picking a deductible feel like a weird gamble? That glass repair rider thing is way too familiar. I had a similar experience with my last ca...
Can definitely relate to the “luxury SUV” surprise—been there, paid that. My Amex Platinum flat-out refused to cover a BMW X5 rental in Colorado becau...
