My vehicle needs a new windshield. It’s a lease and reading the agreement, it says the following: You are responsible for repairs of all physical damage that is not a result of normal wear and use. All service and repairs must be made with new and genuine manufacturer’s original equipment replacement parts, regardless of the terms of your insurance policy. Does this mean it has to be OEM? I have GEICO and they said they will not pay for OEM.

Hey My dog and I are moving to NYC this fall. She's a 3 year old spayed beagle. I did some research and lemonade was suppose to be the cheapest option but they are quoting me 107 dollars per month for a 80% deductible! What is happening? Any other options for pet insurance? I was hoping to be under 25 dollars per month for my pet so that I can put another 15 towards renters insurance. I am a student for the next year and a half so I wanted to be careful with money just for the next year and a half. Any help will be appreciated ! Edit 1: you guys have been so helpful with such amazing suggestions! Moving internationally all these suggestions will help me make the safest decision for my girl! So thank you so very much !!

I am going through Tesla insurance for my Model Y. I had a few aftermarket parts and vinyl wrap that needs to be replaced as part of the repair. The quote/check for the repair does not include just three items and the shop is saying that they will submit a separate claim/payment for that item after everything else is repaired and done. Additionally, they are saying that after all of that, I need to go get a quote for the wrap and submit that separately on my own to see if Tesla will reimburse me for it. Anyone have any insight on this? At this point, it has taken me several months to even get a reply back from the shop, I almost want to just ask for a check and get it done elsewhere or figure it out on my own. The only issue is the check was sent to the shop as a two person check, so I almost feel like I will be stuck with this shop.

I have not enrolled in Trupanion but I am interested in them because of their direct pay options.. however I was chatting with an agent and I asked about prior history of colds or ear infections and she said that would be a pre-existing condition. She said it also depends on the record review. I asked for a contact to review my records and she said that can only be done after enrolling. I asked for a compliance department contact, and she said that isn't available for members. Can someone give me any insight to any of these statements? I'm getting different responses when I speak with different agents.

I'm shopping around for car insurance. I'm 38F and never had anything but State Farm, but I was rear ended in an accident last year and had a mostly bad experience dealing with customer service and claims. My parents had a life insurance policy for my mother. When she passed away the office somehow marked me as the deceased party, which also lead to me having to "prove" that I was not dead. Keeping in my mind my mother and I share a last name and had our insurances at the same office/broker, but we have completely separate policies. When I told the agent that is what happened, she was combative even though the date of the change corresponded with my mother's death. After my accident, there were significant delays in getting my payment because of some issues they were having with setting up digital payments for me. All around bad experience with customer service and claims who were not empathetic or helpful. When I switched my insurance to a new agent's office for my new car, they put the incorrect financing information on my policy. Had to call several times to change. Realized that they had the wrong mailing address and garage address, even though I had also changed these. I, no joke, had to call on four separate occasions to try to change my garage address. They kept telling me it would be reflected on my policy within a month, but when I checked, my old garage address was still there. Conveniently, my rate at my new address is cheaper. I will say prior to the past couple years I had great experiences with State Farm. It seems lately to have maybe gone down hill, and I am a pretty dang patient person. It's not all about price for me either. I'm happy to change to somewhere with better service even if slightly more expensive. Does anyone actually have a car insurance company they can recommend based on good experiences and/or customer service?

So I did away with my previous wellness plans and went with Metlife insurance. At first they were great approving regular visits quickly and I was reimbursed quickly. But I've noticed since before December now they take extremely long to even assign the claims and then review them. It always seems like I have to reach out to them in which they always need the Doctors notes before they will approve anything. My pupps have gotten ear infections, ruptured glands, and upset stomach with diarrhea this year and it has taken several weeks and phone calls to get the claim processed and a couple I am still waiting on. So I am thinking of canceling them. Would love recommendations of a better company with a better app as well.

Taken place in TX with State Farm. Got rear ended. Driver claimed liability. Car is a total loss. Body shop is asking for $2100 and insurance is only willing to cover $1400 and the rest out of pocket. I don’t want to pay out of pocket or through my car settlement, how can I get them to cover the whole amount? I had a rental car for a few days up until I was notified my car was a total loss and insurance doesn’t cover for it after that so I returned it. Am I also able to get reimbursed for transportation i.e rental car or uber?

What kind of company does this where they don’t accept my debit or credit card for monthly premiums. They will do checks, but still.

I was in an accident recently and i signaled and looked behind me and merged rightward into a middle/center lane. As I did so someone came flying up from behind me and I believe they very likely merged leftward into the same center lane, and I struck their aft portion of their car. Like their quarter panel and rear door (it was a four door car). I hit with the front of my car. like my right-side turn signal and bumper cover hit their left-side rear door and quarter panel. Not much damage to either vehicle but certainly much more to the other motorist's car. They will probably need a new doorskin and new quarter panel or at least serious bodywork to repair the damaged panels. Anyway, my insurance coverage does not include collision or comprehensive. Which is fine. I prefer it that way. I thought it should've been mixed fault or not my fault at all but in one week my insurance USAA has found me liable. There were no other witnesses, no passengers in either vehicle, and no camera footage. I forgot to take photos of either vehicle and so did the other motorist as far as I know. We only took photos of each others' insurance cards. They said due to the location of the damage on both vehicles (i never sent them a photo of either vehicle so other than my words and the cop's words they don't know where the damage is on my vehicle) and due to the police report, they are making this decision. I called the police department to get the report and not only do they want 10$, but they said the only way my insurance company could have the report is if they solicited to lexisnexis via snail mail. If that is true, then I suspect there is little that in ~6 business days they got the report. I was unsure what happened and the old lady who hit me/I hit was very adamant it was not her fault, which I guess is what I should mimic in the future, even though anyone with half a brain knows that in many accidents, eyewitness testimony is unreliable. I did not admit fault at the scene or to anyone I have a career where my driving record is important and I really don't want my insurance to go up. The adjustor is being noncommunicative. Please help

Location: Indiana I recently booked an Airbnb for a month. The day I was set to check in to the room I was staying in the host, who is live overseas in the EU, called me and goes into a story about how he is in a conflict with AirBnB and that due to this conflict AirBnB won’t give him any of the money that people pay to stay at his rental, he doesn’t really go into any real specific details other than that. I was desperate for a place to stay so I don’t really ask a lot of questions in that moment. He says that he will call AirBnB customer service to get a refund and then I can pay him the same amount I payed on AirBnB to his PayPal account after I’ve received the refund. I agree and I await my refund from AirBnB. I receive it and I payed him through PayPal as discussed. Around 3 weeks I start having various issues with the host, he’s calling me, stars saying I’ve got to do this and that, nothing illegal just various things like take pictures of the place to ensure his agent is keeping the place clean and making the repairs he is supposed too. I refused but I thought this was odd so I did a court records search on him and that’s when I uncovered that he was lying about the extent of the conflict with Airbnb. In fact he doesn’t have a conflict with AirBnB at all, he has a judgement against him and an order was issued to AirBnB to withhold all of the money from the hosts rental to and instead give that money to whom the money on the judgement is owed. I’m floored by this because I never would have agreed in the payment arrangement had I known the truth. I think what the host is doing is wrong and I’d like to go to the local attorney of those who have been awarded the judgement and/or AirBnB’s legal team to fill them in on the situation. My only concern is that I’ve somehow become complicit in this guys scheme through the payment arrangement and I could be putting myself in legal trouble as well. I want to do the right thing but I also don’t want to screw myself over in the process. Are my concerns valid? If so could I possibly work out a deal with the local attorney and/or AirBnBs legal team to be immune from any recourse for my cooperation in presenting evidence in this guys scheme to get around the order put in place to pay the judgement? I appreciate any input on this situation I’ve found myself in.
