While car prices dip lower and gradually come back down to pre-pandemic levels, more Americans are still feeling the financial pinch from car ownership — because of insurance.
You are understanding correctly. And the answer to your second question is, “maybe?” I didn’t look into it. But it was only car insurance, so it didn’t matter where something happened; I mean, it’s a car and is meant to be driven around. Now, if they found out that I had moved without telling them while investigating an accident, then maybe they could deny a claim. The difference was over $100 per month from one neighborhood to another in the same city. Over 8 years that added up to me saving $9600, so if something happened to the Scion tC I was driving during that time then I could have paid for it with those savings. Of course, if I badly injured someone by an accident that was my fault, then I could have been really screwed.
Aha, I forgot the thread’s title and just assumed it was home insurance if it differs that much. The new neighborhood had higher incidence of vandalism maybe, or historically many bad drivers? But yeah, I’d probably risk that as well; a car is mobile, so no reason to have such a huge difference. Would never risk renters/home insurance though.
