RE: Finding affordable car insurance after 65 in kansas - anyone else struggling?
I’ve always wondered how those telematics things actually work in bad weather. Like, do they really expect you to drive the same way on icy roads as you would in July? Seems kinda unfair. I’m just learning, but my instru...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?
That’s wild, I didn’t realize these things could just make up trips like that. I’ve been thinking about trying Root, but now I’m wondering if they’re any better with tracking. Has anyone had random miles added with other...

RE: is accident forgiveness really worth it in Ohio?
I get what you mean about it being a “paying for peace of mind or rolling the dice” thing. I’ve got a 2010 Corolla and honestly, I’m still debating if it’s worth it for me. My insurance quoted me about $50 extra per year...
