I’ve been paying about 80 a month liability only on one car, added another now it’s 255 this month and 155 from here on out. For context I’m a 24 year old male in NM. I’ve had a good amount of traffic tickets idk how negatively that’s impacting my rates. I have progressive. I always hear about people paying way less than me for liability or the same as I pay for liability they get full coverage for that price. I’d like full coverage but the price would be a lot, if I’m gonna have liability only I’d like it to be nice and cheap. Am I doomed to high prices being a 24 y/o with traffic tickets? Where can I get it cheaper? You always see those insurance commercials claiming super low rates online but I don’t even waste my time figuring it’s bs. I haven’t shopped around in a long time is it worth it to now? Or even better than shopping around, maybe someone here can tell me where and how to get it much cheaper.

Hey! I have a question. I reside in Tallahassee, Florida. I have one car here (2025 Toyota Corolla) and a car in Miami (2005 Toyota Camry). I informed Geico that the Camry is in Miami, and my sister is the primary driver. Geico informed me yesterday that they will drop the car from my insurance because they think that it’s her car (it’s my car in my name). They told me I needed the registration that shows the car is mine, and it needs to show the address where I’m at, which is the mailing address in Tallahassee (I go between Tallahassee and Miami). Anyone has been through this? Please advise.

I recently bought a car is a Hyundai accent 2019. It has 70k miles but here is the problem; I’m currently paying 327.94$ for my car insurance with Geico and that is insanely expensive. I know that I can change my car insurance after 6 month, but I want to know if someone know a cheaper car insurance or something that I could do for make it cheaper after the 6 months. I’m 20 year old and I’m new in the USA. Please I need some advice.

On July 31, I saw a steady ream of water coming out of my ceiling! Coming from the bathroom upstairs and even going down to my basement! Long story short after checking though pipes, and doing my own investigation I cannot, CANNOT find a cause. Only thing I can maybe think of is one of the children flooding the bathroom and hasn’t told me. I’m a mess, I’m a single mom of two hardly getting by and a giant mess and so many things destroyed I CANNOT pay for this out of pocket, will this be covered by my insurance if it was my child at fault who’s yet to claim blame?

I am currently in the process of considering switching from PetsBest pet insurance. I currently have my 1 year old Jack Russell insured through them. He’s (thankfully) been quite healthy however, I have had experience in submitting claims through them with a 10-12 week old mixed breed puppy that I rescued (legitimately off the street). Poor Wren had multiple congenital defects with her heart and I ended up having to have her euthanized on emergency after a seizure. I submitted 2 claims - 1 for her initial visit with a cardiologist for diagnosis and the second, the emergency seizure visit. Both claims were denied due to “pre-existing condition” - which I struggle to understand considering she was not diagnosed until the visit with the cardiologist and was insured prior to diagnosis. My experience with their customer service representative the day after having to put Wren down was…lacking. I called to inquire whether or not I needed to leave her policy open until the claims were completed and was (very bluntly) told that “Because the patient is dead, the policy needs to be cancelled”. Fine. I made no complaints, I didn’t call to argue with their ruling re: pre-existing condition. And I would spend the money again and again because I truly loved my animals. I’ve let it be as the coverage is affordable and my hope was that since Norman (my Jack Russell) is healthy and has been to the vet consistently through his life, if I ever did need to submit a claim I would not experience the same outcome. Here I am, a little over a month later - my family all threw in on getting me a Black Lab puppy (Teva). Last night I looked into the cost of adding her to my existing PetsBest plan with Norman. She is more than double the cost to insure. Hear me out, I work in vet med (on the equine side but I am not lost on the workings of the small animal side) - I know Labs present higher risk (especially when it comes to foreign bodies and hips). I get it, but more than double?? After my already lacking experience? Uugghhh. All of this to ask the question - who do you recommend? In my research I am finding the price to be fairly similar across companies *BUT* with more coverage - ex: Spot seems to have fairly extensive coverage for the same price. I’m interested in opinions on all but have specifically looked at Spot, Lemonade and Fetch. Included are pictures of Norman, Wren and Teva as payment for your advice!

Earlier this year, I was involved in an accident where I was side swiped by a gardener truck. I was on a residential street and slowed down to look for parking. The gardener truck was behind me but decided to pass me, and when I drove forward a little to park further up, the truck merged back into my lane and struck my car with the equipment hanging off its trunk. They sustained no damages while my drivers side window shattered, mirror broke off, and fender/door sustained damages. Around 2 months ago, we received a letter from their insurance saying they assessed 55% negligence on their insured driver and 45% on me. They were also willing to pay for 55% of my damages. My insurance decided to take them to arbitration. During this time I received 2 letters from my representative. The first said that while the other insurance company has accepted full responsibility for the accident, they have not been able to reach a settlement for damages paid. I then received a second letter a month later saying that the arbitrator has ruled in favor of the other party. This seemed like a complete 180. I was shocked to learn of their final decision and emailed my representative asking if any of my $1,000 deductible would be recovered. She said no and sent me a copy of the arbitration decision which stated the following duties breached on my end: vehicle failed to keep appropriate lookout and they failed to maintain safe parking maneuvering. Is there anything I can do at this point? I know the arbitration decision is binding and final but I am honestly just stunned, especially because it felt like the truck failed to safely pass my car. I spoke with my insurance and they said my premium will most likely double. Is this fair?

I currently have an auto policy with only my teenage daughter (17F) after removing my STBX from the policy, but I feel like the premium for my car is higher than it should be and I'm wondering if there are any ways to reduce the premium. I am a 40M with a very clean driving record, my daughter had a claim last October where she hit a fire hydrant and the repair was \~$10k or so (no meaningful property damage to the hydrant). I drive a 2021 Tesla Model 3 and she drives a 2017 Audi A4 that her grandmother gave her. Total monthly premium with GEICO is $548 for my car and $366 for her car. I believe the average Model 3 insurance rate in Colorado should be closer to $300/month and I'm just trying to think of ways to lower my premium. Is it possible to separate policies and save money if I make it so that she can't drive my car and doesn't need to be insured for that? Any advice or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Hello people, I am a bit of a pickle right now :( I have been trying to cancel my Pets Best subscription/insurance for a good few days with no luck, the main reason why is because their prices have got up by a lot, and it simply isn’t in my budget atm, plus (knock on wood), my two cats are perfectly healthy besides the usual meowing because they aren’t allowed to eat every 5 mins. I have called them so many times but I have been put on hold for 25-30 mins. It is really frustrating because I am worried they will charge me despite low funds in my account, making my account go into the negatives. And of course, me not wanting to pay 59 bucks a month when it was originally 47 bucks a month when I first joined almost 2 years ago. If anyone has any advice, please share.

I work for an employer that does Cigna healthcare with three tiers, but the costs for all three plans are similar to the three tiers that Blue Cross Blue Shield offers on the open market. I currently have a premium plan with BCBS for ~$1400/month and my employer’s premium plan is also ~$1400/month. How do companies get away with “offering” healthcare insurance that isn’t subsidized at all? This seems very disingenuous

Location: I live in California Hey guys! Wondering what you thought. In summer of 2022, my mom and I were visiting some extended family in Switzerland. My Swiss cousin drove me and my mom to Paris, France in his car. The last night I was there, my cousin asked me if I wanted to go take pictures at the Eiffel Tower. I said sure. He drives his car, I am in the front passenger seat next to him. No other passengers in the car. We are on the street right next to the Eiffel Tower at a red light, sitting in traffic with all cars stopped. He says "OK you can get out here and get to the sidewalk, I will pick you up in a few minutes." As I open the passenger door, a motorcycle who had been weaving in and out of traffic going maybe 15-20 mph, slams into the car door. The driver and passenger fall over and the car door is smashed. We pull over, traffic around us is stopped. An ambulance comes and help arrives. Unfortunately (worst timing ever), I had a plane to catch to go back to the US. My cousin told me to leave, he would take care of it. I found a cab, took me back to where my mom was staying, and we went to the airport and flew home. I followed up with him a few days later and he said the motorcycle driver and passenger were fine, they had suffered some cuts/bruises and a sprained ankle. I told him to please keep me posted. He never really had anything to report. Fast forward to last Friday. I get an email from an insurance company detailing the incident from 2022, with the correct date and what exactly had happened. They found me liable and at fault because I opened the passenger door and caused the injuries of the motorcycle passengers. The insurance company said they had to compensate the other party, and requested that I reimburse the full amount. It's nearly $10K USD. I know this is definitely not a scam because my cousin verified his policy number on the letter they sent me. He also informed me they called the police that night and the police never came. He took it on himself to give the other party the insurance information so that his insurance would help out. He never imagined his insurance trying to recoup the money, especially from me. What do you guys think I should do? Shouldn't the insurance cover the driver and vehicle?Am I liable as the passenger? How would an insurance company in France enforce that I pay this? Can they take me to court? Is it possible that they might try to retaliate with my cousin instead, if I ignore the letter? Thanks in advance!!!
