I have a 2012 Prius V that was totaled in an accident. It has 40k miles on it (I got it from an eldery couple who almost never drove it). The insurance company came back with 3 comparison vehicles, all were same year/make but all have 90-100k miles. They are saying that the "adjustment" of value for the mileage difference is only $1500... Does that seem right?

Hi we have progressive as for our auto insurance we had an accident and it raised from $2000 to $4000+ for our premium and we added 2 more cars didnt really save us money like that. We pay almost $800 monthly for 3 cars. I just got licensed in CA so i dont have a driving record yet. (I was from another country) I was trying to get a policy under my name. I dont think I can since theres not much driving history. My husband has a dui from 9 years ago and we cant get geico. Were running out of cheaper options. What can we do or has anybody had this issue and what did you do? Where can I shop around for auto insurance.

First time posting on Reddit, and not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, if not I apologize, please direct me to the right place if that's the case. So I'm in LA and I have Progressive Car Insurance. Here's the situation: I got rear-ended back in February, the other driver was fully responsible for it, I went through the whole insurance claim process and got my car repaired, and because my insurance has $1500 car rental allowance during repair, they got me a rental car for about a month while my car was under repair. the car rental company was Midway Car Rental (The one my collision body shop is using.) Everything went smoothly back then and I even got my deductible on time from Progressive, I returned the rental car when my car was ready, they checked the rental car, no extra fee needed, no issue at all. Then out of no where, last week the car rental company charged me THE FULL RENTAL PRICE to my credit card I put on file (I used that for the deposit.) I called them, they said they have been asking my insurance to pay the rental fee for months and they never paid, that's why they charged my credit card. I called my claim rep, he said they paid the car rental on 7/15, which was 10+ days ago, the rep is also baffled by the unexpected charge. I checked my Progressive app and can see the $1500 rental reimbursement under my payout summary, and it did say 7/15/2025. I am not sure what's going on and what to do in this situation. Both side claimed that they're not the problem (well expected) the car rental is asking me to ask my rep for proof of payment and send to them or else "they can't do anything about it", I passed the message and all the info to my claim rep, he said he's on it but then nothing happened and he's now not available through phone somehow. Im very confused and somehow been put in the middle as a mediator?? I really need the car rental to cancel this charge on my credit card. It's an foreign credit card and I need to pay it off soon, and this expected charge is seriously messing up my payment plan this month. But it seems like both party needs to investigate or negotiate this for some time, and they're not very cooperative and helpful. Any suggestions, advice?

Repost 😆 I was rear ended at a light…luckily I was the only one in the car. The other driver accepted liability and I’m going through their insurance. I did get whiplash which I could feel a bit after the accident along with a bad headache. The pain is lingering a few weeks later now in my neck and shoulder. The injury claim adjuster offered $500 to sign an injury release. I want to avoid lawyers and running up medical bills etc for an injury that will likely heal over time. From industry experts or others with similar experience, what’s a fair settlement?

I went to an out of network Health specialist. I had 2 visits for around $200 per visit paid via credit card. They told me to send my invoice/receipt to my insurance company and they would reimburse me. I submitted 2 claims to United Healthcare and they were approved as out of network which went towards that deductible. I just assumed that after that approval, a check from UHC would be sent in the mail to me. It wasn’t. I chatted with UHC customer service today and they said to contact the health specialist business to resubmit the claim as in network. Talked to the specialist business representative and they don’t deal with insurance AT ALL. They are out of network for everyone and leave it to the patient/customer to handle insurance reimbursements if applicable. I’m at a loss for what to do now. I know I have to get it sorted with UHC but idk what to say or do at this point. How do I get reimbursed? Was I not supposed to submit a claim? Should I have gone through a different process and submitted something else? I’ve never had to deal with this kind of situation before and I cannot afford to not be reimbursed. Any tips or help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I have a 2020 Hyundai Kona with 50K miles that I bought two years ago, with 40K miles, for about $20,000. I recently drove into a parking garage with my bike rack on my car, causing roof damage. They are considering it totaled with an initial estimate of $10,600 in damages on a car valued at $15,600. First, that seems low, given that I've seen other vehicles online with the same miles for $17,000 or more. They are also trying to claim that the car has $3,000 in unrelated damages, even though I've never hit anything, scratched anything, bumped into anything, etc. I suppose there must be minor dings or scratches from driving it in the city (I've asked them to email me photos), but regardless, $3,000 seems high for whatever it is. I'd also argue that I've been paying insurance rates on a car valued at closer to the $20,000 I paid for it, not....$10,000? My question: Does it seem reasonable that a regular seeming car with no issues beyond standard wear and tear would see a $3,000 devaluation like this? Can I get a second opinion on the value of my car, and this prior damage? How do I go about doing that, and what would it cost? On a slightly unrelated note...is insurance just kind of insane right now? I feel like I'm hearing stories that they are totaling everything these days. (I have State Farm, comprehensive coverage).

I recently signed a lease for a new apartment. I currently have AllState, however they don’t allow Landlords/businesses to be additionally insured under my policy. So what insurances do allow landlords to be additionally insured? NOT an additional interest. I can’t find any information on this! And every customer support/agent I talk to gets very confused.

In May, I rearended another vehicle. My fault, I'm a dumbass. The damage was to my left front bumper, which was pushed back into the tire, the left front fender, and left headlamp. At the scene, the truck was not drivable due to the bumper being pushed into the tire, so I called a tow truck. The tow driver showed up and offered that rather than towing, he could hook his winch to the front bumper and pull it out to make the truck drivable again. I was good with that plan and it saved money for the insurance company on the tow bill. A couple days later, I take the truck to the insurance company's DRP shop. I told them all of the above. A couple weeks go by, I go to pick the truck up. They fixed everything EXCEPT the left fender, saying that the damage was unrelated due to a "soft impact". No one from the insurance company ever called to discuss. In reality, the fender looked dented in from partial reformation when the bumper was winched out. But again, no one ever called for the partial denial of damages and just left it to the body shop to tell me. So I filed a DOI complaint citing the lack of investigation by the adjuster. The DOI rep never called me but closed the case, stating that the insurance company did nothing wrong. The DOI letter cited the appraisal clause in the policy, however, at this point I'm more angry about the lack of communication and investigation by the adjuster as it was very shoddy and incomplete work. I also don't think hiring an appraiser would be particularly effective in arguing related damages (but maybe I'm wrong?). I don't think I'm able to sue over damages due to the appraisa clause in the policy but would prefer to sue for bad faith. Or maybe I should just walk away and pay to have my fender repaired? Anyone have experience here or ideas on what I should do?

My insurer (Admiral) got in touch with me late last week advising me of a claim on my account that I needed to check. Unfortunately I was on holiday so have only had a chance to look into it today. However, I haven't been involved in any incidents at all - ever. I've never hit another car, had an accident, or been involved in a crash. My car has zero damage, no bumps or scrapes, even the paintwork is pristine (I use it infrequently) I've never once claimed on insurance, or even needed to. I checked the claim date and I happened to be travelling to London and back that day from Birmingham for work (my once in a lifetime trip, last minute so couldn't catch a train conveniently). I can say for sure that I wasn't involved in an incident that day as I spent it all either on a motorway or parked at a hotel attending a conference. The claim itself has no information attached for me to refute. I haven't had a chance to call them yet (it's on my to-do list for later today) but have emailed them asking for more information/clarity. What do I do from here? I'm confused, surprised, frustrated, and very worried that it's going to affect my insurance or future costs. Is it a fraudulent claim, or have I been claimed against in error? Any advice is much appreciate :)

Hi all, Unfortunately, someone (without insurance) hit my parked car earlier this month. I have their information and going through a claim now with progressive to get my car fixed. I assumed even though I was not at fault that my insurance would go up, but I just paid in full in June for the next 6 months and progressive just sent me a bill for $250 due in August? This seems a little crazy! I didn't think it would go up that much, nor did I think I would already have to pay a premium, thought this would be at renewal. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks!
