Yeah, I get the frustration—insurance is a maze. I’ve actually had to use uninsured motorist coverage twice (not proud, Nebraska drivers are wild). Fi...
Bundling never did much for me either—felt like a sales pitch more than anything. I’ve had a couple fender benders over the years, so my rates are alr...
Letting friends drive your car in MN: better to add them or rely on permissive use? Yeah, I’ve been burned by this “regular use” loophole too. Insura...
