I purchased a brand-new 2023 Porsche Macan S for $82,000. After taxes, the total came to $86,000. I also purchased all available extended warranties and protection plans through Porsche, covering the engine, transmission, wheel/tire protection, paint/weather discoloration, etc., bringing the total investment to approximately $102,000. As of 2025, the car has only 14,000 miles, mostly from commuting to and from work. The vehicle was in excellent condition with no engine damage. Recently, I was involved in a collision accident, and the fault was determined to be entirely on the other party. Unfortunately, my insurance company has declared the car a total loss because the repair cost is around $40,000, and the vehicle would receive a salvage title, thereby reducing its market value significantly. My insurer has offered me $72,000 as the settlement. This situation leaves me $30,000 short of what I initially paid, even without factoring in the warranty and extras. 🟦 1. Can I still negotiate with the insurance company after they totaled my car? 🟦 2. Should I buy back the totaled car and fix it? 🟦 3. I had 5-year warranties — if the car is totaled after 2 years, will I get refunded for the remaining 3 years? Thank you to anyone who sees this message and replies back.

Didn’t get my license till I was 18 and never have had an accident on my record. I’ve been with progressive for a few years now and my monthly payments have only gone down once like 20 bucks when I renewed last year. Got about 2 months left on this policy and I don’t think I should be paying almost 300 for an 06 Camry man would it be best to start trying to find a new provider once this policy is up? Also I’m 24 living in the dfw area

Got a policy update email that will take effect in 63 days. Going from $196/month to $567/month. This is actually insane. I got on phone with them and they said it’s not my amount of claims but they consider the state of CA and thst since it is pooled insurance it is what works best for everyone. I was like, this payment is like a luxury car?! The only thing they said to do is lower the reimbursement and up the annual deductible; right now I have 70%/$500 and if I switch to 50%/$1000 it is $372. My dog is 14 years old for the record. I just feel stuck and frustrated. Especially cause switching to a new one means everything becomes pre-existing. Does anyone have a similar experience? Advice?

I had a fsa in 2024.. before the plan expired I submitted two big expenses that were “authorized”.. however, money never got deposited to my account. Now they are saying the claim was valid but the amount was paid toward “unverified” receipts. Now that the plan year is closed they are refusing for me to submit receipts. The claims that were “unverified” were hospitals and doctors. Is this normal? Anything I can do? This is over $1200 in lost money

My upcoming bill is $797.00 through GEICO. Last year it was $701.00. $2M policy. Am I getting ripped off?

I have recently had a 117% premium increase from Embrace. One of their justifications was the state I lived in, CA. I’m curious what other states have had such egregious increases ( regardless of company).

Alright here we go. So July forth I was going down a back road (rainy) as I cut the corner I see this Tahoe coming at me at a 90 degree angle (she lost control) and just smashes into me. I didn’t have insurance on this car I had it’s one of my cars I don’t drive often, but with all the pictures and you can clearly see it’s her fault farmers insurance is still denying that’s it her fault I’m at total loss of words (no dash cam) I’m not going down without a fight or a payout so I’m consulting a injury lawyer but is this how it really goes? The pictures her car is just layed smashed into my car and they say it wasent her fault?

This question is more a curiosity than anything. I have a dead 25-30’ tree leaning towards my house and an arborist confirmed it is an imminent to my home and must be removed. When I contacted my homeowners insurance, they said they would only cover damage to my roof if the tree fell, but wouldn’t cover the removal of the tree. What’s the logic behind this? I’m sure some actuary determined it just cheaper to deal with the roof, but the face value cost of replacing likely my entire roof versus the cost of removing the tree it seems like a no-brainer. I’ve already accepted that I’ll need to pay for it, I’m just curious if any insider insurance folks can clue me into the reasoning here. Thanks! ETA: Okay, I get it now. Thanks to all the folks who gave helpful responses, it cleared up a lot and might have saved me from a big headache!

Anyone currently enrolled in TBL please be aware they have changed how they are "insuring" retired first responders and their families. We have filed a complaint with the Ohio board of insurance. They have changed our plans without giving us the option of deciding if it's how we want to be covered. They have changed what medications will be covered and how our providers will be paid.

I have my cars and house bundled with Erie. I traded in my old car and bought a new car. When adding the new car they had to re-rate the policy and it jumped my homeowner policy up by 37%. No homeowner claims ever. Not sure how a new car justifies even looking at the home policy in the first place.
