RE: Which Roadside Help Would You Trust More: AAA or Your Insurance Company?
Which Roadside Help Would You Trust More: AAA or Your Insurance Company? I hear you on the peace of mind thing - sometimes it really is worth paying a bit extra just to know what to expect. I’ve actually gone back and f...
RE: Do you really need extra insurance for a rental in Montana?
I’ve rented in Montana a bunch for work trips, and honestly, I’ve never bought the extra insurance either. My credit card covers most stuff, and my regular car insurance picks up the rest. One time, though, I did get a t...
RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
Totally get where you're coming from - having stuff in writing just takes the stress out of wondering what might get missed. I’ve had that “wait, didn’t we talk about this?” moment with agents more than once, and it’s ne...
RE: Rental car insurance: worth it or just a money grab?

RE: Why does insurance cost more in Houston than Austin or Dallas?
Yeah, I hear you on the garage thing. It’s funny - my neighbor’s car got dinged up in our “secure” parking garage last year, so it’s definitely not a cure-all. Still, I get why folks pay extra for that peace of mind, esp...
RE: Insurance paid way less than what it cost me to replace my roof
That’s exactly how it feels. I had a similar situation with my roof - insurance covered maybe 60% of what the contractor charged. It’s frustrating, but you’re not alone. Sometimes I wonder if “full coverage” just means “...
RE: Insurance headaches for risky drivers in NC - stick with big names or go local?
Haha, that's a great way to put it. I've found the same thing applies even if you're not exactly trekking cross-country in a camper van. For instance, I commute daily through some pretty busy areas around Charlotte, and ...
