How accurate does the quote be when “dealership” works with multiple auto insurance companies to get you the best rates possible. Family member (new driver), called Geico for a quote and was given a high rate. She went to a dealership to see a vehicle that she was interested and left the dealership with the vehicle. Her word was “the saleperson and the person that deals with insurance at the dealership was able to get her a better deal. I tried to tell her dealership just do their quote online and uses that to bait customers into buying the vehicles. Dealer: Geico- $1983 for 6 months full coverage Family member: (over the phone): Geico - $5,400 for 6 months full coverage Thanks for y’all feedbacks.

Hello, I have Aetna insurance and my daughter was prescribed to go for hypoallergenic formula. I spoke with agents, doctor office submitted required docs and they received a fax saying it’s covered. They directed me to Coram where I can order fomula. Coram and Aetna coordinated and determined I’m covered at 100% Now, in my Aetna app the claim is denied and my share is $6536. I have not received a bill from the provider(Coram). I’m panicking Please tell me if I owe the above amount?

Here's the situation: **The unit below me reported ongoing water damage on their ceiling/wall.** The building paid a plumber to do an investigation. After many hours, they were able to determine there was water coming from my toilet. I brought in my own plumber and he figured out there was a leak inside the wall where the toilet connects to the pipe (its a wall mount toilet and the gasket wasn't forming a tight seal with the pipe). This toilet pre-dates my ownership, if that matters. I had him fix it and paid him. Obviously the apartment below has repair costs. I immediately engaged a claim with my homeowner policy provider (Travellers), sent them the plumbers reports (both mine and the building), the by-laws of the building, and put my insurance in touch with the owners of the below unit. Fast forward, after some research, **my claim person says 'I'm not liable because there was no way for me to know about the leak, so the owners of the below unit should file with their insurance'** It is true there was no visible leak or damage in my apartment. Now the unit below me sent me an estimate from their contractor and says 'As you’ll see, they have denied the claim, stating there was “no evidence of neglect” on your part. **Given the damages I sustained, I need to understand how you intend to address this situation and take responsibility for the repairs.**' It's not clear if they've filed with their insurance. The husband and wife don't always seem to be on the same page. They are claiming repairs cost $30,000! I don't know how much of this is really related to the damage, as they are also in the midst of a major reno and might be using this to pay for some of that on the sly. I don't have a relationship with them. To clarify the leak was a long slow drip, which only occurred when the toilet flushed, which is why it took so long for the building plumbers to track down. Regardless, it seems weird to me that the insurance judges I'm not liable, just because I couldn't know about the problem. Especially since the policy seems to explicitly cover damage from water seepage where the insured is unaware because its hidden in a wall (in the DOES NOT COVER section for liability it says: CONTINUOUS OR REPEATED SEEPAGE OR LEAKAGE OF WATER OR STEAM OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, WEEKS, MONTHS, OR YEARS, FROM WITHIN A PLUMBING, DRAINAGE, HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING,SYSTEM OR AUTOMATIC FIRE PROTECTIVE SPRINKLER SYSTEM OR FROM WITHIN A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE **UNLESS SUCH SEEPAGE OR LEAKAGE OF WATER OR STEAM AND THE RESULTING DAMAGE ARE UNKNOWN TO ALL insureds AND ARE HIDDEN WITHIN THE WALLS OR CEILINGS OR BENEATH THE FLOORS OR ABOVE THE CEILINGS OF A STRUCTURE**). **Right now I'm waiting for response from my insurer and also the apartment below** (to see if they have filed with their insurer and if that insurer is in contact with mine). Up until now my interactions on this issue with the apartment below have been pretty even tempered, but their latest email feels like they are escalating and I'm concerned I might even need a lawyer (I live in NYC btw). (added highlights to help with TLDR)

I have had embrace for 10 years on my dog and cage and have had claims and have a 90% Reimbursement Rate they are awesome . Over the years rate increase were always as expected .I just got my Renewal and it sky rocketed from $220 a month to $340! Any one else experiencing a dramatic rate increase?

We bought replacememt windows: 4 sash, and 2 casement. The four sash windows leak air. The sale rep who sold the whole package to us knew how bad the wind was on our farm (we told him) but sold us these sash windows anyway. Five "adjustment" visits later, now one of them is leaking rain too. RBA came out and has offered to replace all the sash windows with casements (the two have performed well). Do I dare stay with them or should I demand a refund? This company is weird. The installers and service people are wonderful--unfailingly professional and polite, but the marketing and sales are... liars and worse.

This is a bit lengthy, but I would genuinely appreciate help figuring out this (apparently) complex and unusual situation. My car was parked in a spot next to my house when it was damaged by a van. I happen to have video showing the entire thing, and there is no question that the door of the other vehicle caused the damage - police and insurance company have made that determination. Seems simple enough BUT my insurance company is suddenly all flippy floppy over who is at fault. The van, which was disabled, was unloaded from a tow truck. While the owner of the van pushed the vehicle, the tow truck driver steered the van backwards from the bed of the truck into the parking spot next to mine. While he is steering and looking over his shoulder, the van’s driver’s door is open and grinds into the rear side of my car. Both of them pause when the door hits my car, looking at each other like “whoops… let’s pretend that didn’t happen”. Neither of them notice my camera, and they do no leave a note or contact the police. That is super rude and illegal, but not likely relevant to this post. So, Henrico (VA) Police Officer files a report and says the tow truck driver is at fault. I assumed the owner of the van would be responsible, but two friends of mine who are attorneys also believe the tow company is responsible. When I contacted the towing company, they sent someone out who said they weren’t admitting fault, but if the company’s owner reviewed the video and saw that what I told them is indeed what happened, they would prefer to pay out of pocket rather than go through insurance. Not once did they say anything about it possibly being the van owner’s responsibility. My initial communication with my insurance company supported what everyone else said: the towing company is responsible. Their next step was to contact them and get their insurance information. After not hearing back from them for several weeks, I called this afternoon and asked for an update. The first person I spoke with said it looked like my adjuster had only done one thing since my claim was filed: type a note stating the towing company uses the same auto insurance company that I do. She looked through all of the evidence I’d submitted and, after viewing the video, she said she didn’t understand why this had not already been resolved. She then gave me the phone number for my adjuster’s manager. I get ahold of the manager and I asked her to please let me know what’s going on, and if there was at least a new claim against the towing company in motion. She said “I think this needs to go through the van owner’s insurance. The tow company’s insurance isn’t going to pay this claim”. She said she’ll call me when she’s had time to thoroughly review the claim. I would love thoughts from anyone who has worked in auto insurance, has had a similar experience, is a professional or recreational attorney, loves deciphering motor and insurance laws, or is just hella good at navigating these issues. *I’m in Virginia*

Hi everyone. I have a 6 year old terrier mix that's been insured with Fetch since I adopted him at 5 months old. He's had 4 claims all under $200 in all these years. 2 for ear issues, 1 for diarrhea and 1 for a scrape on his leg. No claims in the Iast two years. I started paying $35 / month and now they want to increase my premium from $71 to $117 which is absolutely crazy! I currently have no annual limit with a 90% coverage and $250 deductible. I have no problem bringing down the annual limit to 20-25k, 80% coverage and a higher deductible to decrease my rate but my concern is if he's only 6 right now and Fetch is jacking up prices like this, even if I reduce coverage I'm afraid I'll end up with a crazy premium in just a couple of years! Also, I had another dog insured by them and we spent 25k with her last year. She unfortunately passed away but now I wonder if that is playing a role with how much they are increasing my terrier mix rate since they were both under the same account (I read someone here in Reddit had something like this happening with Fetch). I'd love to hear experiences of people switching insurance specially in regards to coverage of pre existing conditions and also, if anyone has recommendations of other insurance companies I'd love to hear your experience too (especially in regards to rate increases and claims). Thank you!

We recently rescued a mastiff puppy. She came down with parvo but is on the road to recovery. I would like to get insurance for her but I am concerned that having parvo as a puppy is a recipe for getting denied for any claim going forward. It just seems like parvo is one of those illnesses that could count against anything that goes wrong in the future. I reached out to Lemonade and their response was very general and generic. Preexisting, reviewing history with any claim, etc, etc.

I recently had a doctor’s visit wherein I was given Botox injections to aid with migraines. When looking up the cost ahead of time, I was told that with insurance the cost was typically $200, and without insurance it was about $600. I’ve just received the bill from my health insurance provider, and according to them, they covered approximately $2000 of the procedure which leaves me paying $750. That’s more than even the estimate WITHOUT insurance. I’m not sure how this became such a ludicrously expensive procedure compared to estimates online. Does anybody have experience with this sort of price gouging before? I’ve already called the hospital and they insist that the cost of the procedure is $2000, and then there were additional costs for “processing fees” due to my insurance. What is going on here? Let me know if there’s another subreddit I should be posing this question towards, too. Thanks!

Just received notice of my policy increase for my healthy paws plan for a 4 yo dog. The new premiums are already beyond what I’m able to afford, but now they are going to raise the plan $10 more per month due to an address change. They did this last time we moved and said the new state was more expensive than where we lived previously, now we moved back to our old neighborhood and somehow it is more expensive than the previous state they said was more expensive than this. I’m frustrated because it seems like we are being penalized for moving, and now the plan is double when we started. Basically, it’s already stretching my finances, and I’m concerned about sustainability at this rate and how much they raise the policy every year. We barely hit deductible as is and only hit it once or twice in the life of the policy, never gotten much back in claims, thankfully (glad to not have had crazy issues yet, knock on wood) At 4, dogs can start to have other issues, and I’m concerned that other plans might have preexisting condition policies and not cover if other issues develop and we don’t switch in time. Any advice or other option recommendations? I like healthy paws because they are easy, generally pay the policy claims very fast, and I trust that their coverage will last. But given the costs, I’m not sure where too go from here.
