RE: would you switch to insurance that tracks your driving habits?
A longer commute or more weekend trips seems like a different risk from an app misreading a trip. Before counting on the discount, I’d check whether the insurer lets you review a flagged trip and correct or exclude it if...
RE: Is gap insurance worth it for new cars in Hawaii?
Is gap insurance worth it for new cars in Hawaii? I hear you on the “Hawaii car market is weird” thing - it’s like the rules just don’t apply here. I’ve always been a bit skeptical about gap insurance, to be honest. My ...
RE: How did you feel after your first accident and dealing with insurance?
Yeah, I hear you on the insurance runaround. It’s almost like they’re banking on people getting frustrated and dropping the claim. I started scanning everything and emailing it to myself, just in case something “gets los...
RE: How is ACV not just a fancy way to pay us less?

That’s the part that gets me - why is a digital report card not “official” enough in 2024? I get that they want to avoid fraud, but it feels like they’re stuck in the stone age. I wonder if it’s just a way to make people...
RE: little-known ways to snag cheaper insurance in Alaska
I get where you’re coming from, but I’m not totally convinced it’s *always* about the company over the bundle, even with pricier cars. Maybe it’s just an Alaska thing, but I’ve actually had some luck bundling my home and...
RE: Confused about insurance rules in South Dakota - help me figure this out
I hear you on the digital insurance thing - it’s just so much easier than rifling through a pile of crumpled papers. But I’m still a little wary. South Dakota law technically allows digital proof, but I’ve heard stories ...
RE: little-known ways to snag cheaper insurance in Alaska
