RE: Why does insurance cost more in Houston than Austin or Dallas?
Never thought about the flood thing, but now I’m picturing my car floating down the street like a sad little boat. Does anyone know if where you park at night (like garage vs. street) actually makes a difference in your ...
RE: Why I was surprised to learn Nebraska requires uninsured motorist coverage
Honestly, I’m still wrapping my head around all this insurance stuff - my brain short-circuits just looking at the policy documents. But UM coverage feels like one of those things you don’t want to skip, even if you’re c...
RE: Would you risk a higher deductible to lower your insurance bill?
Would You Risk A Higher Deductible To Lower Your Insurance Bill? I’m literally in the middle of this debate with myself right now. Just got my first car (nothing as cool as a ’68 Mustang, but hey, it’s got four wheels a...
RE: SCORED A SWEET DEAL ON INSURANCE THANKS TO MILITARY DISCOUNT

RE: Stuck Between State Farm and Farm Bureau - Which One's Better?
Gotta say, as someone brand new to this insurance game, I'm leaning more towards saving a bit of cash upfront. Sure, friendly customer service sounds nice (especially after your "unexpected adventures," lol), but I'm hop...
RE: got caught up in fraud trouble - what happens next?
Ugh, totally relate to this. Last week my card got flagged right when I was trying to buy furniture for my new apartment - talk about timing. There I was, awkwardly pacing around the store, whispering personal details in...
RE: how accident forgiveness works in NM and why it's saved me cash
Accident forgiveness sounds nice, but honestly as someone just getting insurance for the first time, it feels like another sneaky way to charge extra. When I asked about it, my quote jumped up quite a bit...kinda defeats...
