Re: Whats worse?

Honestly insurance agents are all scumbags. I've changed my policy like 3 different times and I still pay rediculous amounts. I've never had a ticket, never been involved in an accident (that they know about at least) taken deffensive driving courses and still pay about 3k a year. I really hate all the statistics involved in the rates. Like how atuomatically if you're a woman you have cheaper rates than a man if all variables are the same. And how if you're under 25 and a man you automatically get a higher rate than the same man over 25. Or how if you get married then they drop your rates. Fraud is also a big thing, it happens all the time and hardly anyone gets busted for it. I'm just pissed off because I have a perfect driving record and how I pay more than other people who have shitty records. Peace-

Re: Whats worse?

Re: Whats worse?

hmmm...

$67/mo insurance for full coverage (Liberty Mutual)

i work in Chapel Hill and take the bus....so i won't include the $16/wk i pay for that...we average about $50 a week in gas for the whole family...

so it equals out to:

$804/yr for insurance and $2600/yr for gas excluding weekend trips and what not...but i pay about $832/yr for my bus pass

Re: Whats worse?

I pay $180.00 CDN per month insurance for 2 vehicles and about $60.00 CDN per week for gas for 2 vehicles

so..... that works out to $180.00 for insurance & $240.00 for gas ... per month

GAS !!!!!

You know why fraud happens they piss people off beyond breaking points

They cause id say atleast 1/3 of the fraud if not more.

ding your bumper you might as well smash your door in too. I've never done this or supported it but I almost sympatize for those who do.

Yes there are just shady people who do it to start but they bring alot on their on.

Pretty much the same for me. As well as my 330/month for my car.

It cost me 50$ to fill up my tank last week.... at least insurance I forget about, but gas kills me every week. So they both suck.
