Car Insurance Master Thread

[Luvisrael]

I want to lend my car to my friend for two months. Any way he can get liability insurance for a short period? I asked geico and they said they cant add him to my policy because he doesn't live in my household.

Read the last page. Please. You are asking questions all over expecting people to repeat themselves for you. If you can't find it, we can help. But don't expect to just sit back and make everyone repeat themselves for you.

I'm obviously not very good at getting around, I'm sorry. I'm looking for where someone answered, but I can't find it so if you can guide me it would be more appreciated then attacking me thank you

A. I wasn't attacking you, I was helping you by explaining how to find information and how to ask in case you don't find it in a way that people would be willing to help you.

B. I told you where to find that info. Mgarfin sent a direct link.

C. Good luck!

I was referred by a colleague to a guy in Boro Park that claims he can save me about 50% on my car insurance policy. The total savings for the year would come out to about $1,300.00. The catch is that he's asking for a brokers fee of ... $1,300.00, his logic being that it's an investment for the future. Anyway's, i'm not about to fork over $1,300 cash to some guy i don't know. I'm posting this because I was wondering if
A) has anyone heard of similar cases? Ie, brokers that have some crazy shtick and get you cheaper policies than you would be able to find on your own?
B) how could i do this myself and avoid a broker's fee?

a) I had a broker that charged me $100.  And he found me a policy that worked for me.  NOT $1300.  b)Do you know which insurance company he was going to sign you up to? Why don't you try some of the online companies and compare rates?  Your rate might be lower than you think.

Plenty of brokers that don't charge broker fee

Never heard of a $1300 brokerage fee.

There are brokers that find good rates.

I have sent a few ppl to Trumper Insurance, and they are all happy.

dont do it. your rates can go up next year for no reason (general area increase) and you would have accomplished nothing
