Who Has the Cheapest Auto Insurance?

When I decided it was time to buy a car, I wanted to do it as cheaply as possible. It wasn’t that I couldn’t afford it necessarily, but I’d been living without a car for years and I liked not having a car payment or having to worry about insurance.

I moved to the city right after college and realized pretty quickly that I no longer needed a car. Public transportation was pretty easily accessible for work and errands. I lived close enough to a few bars and restaurants that my social life didn’t require a care.

Then things changed, as they do. I got transferred to a new branch and the commute wasn’t as simple anymore. And I was stuck. If I moved to a new apartment, I’d have to drive to work. If I moved closer to work, I’d have to drive to do anything else.

I love my apartment so I decided to stay there and commute to work. This made the most sense because it meant I didn’t have to move, which is one of my least favorite things to do. So, the search was on for a car.

It didn’t take me long to find one, I wasn’t really picky. After all, it was mostly just to drive to and from work so I found a used car that was in pretty good shape at a local dealer. Then, it was time to find insurance.

Finding the cheapest auto insurance

I had no idea what I was doing. Basically, I asked everyone I knew who they had their policies through then scoured the internet to find out the answer to one simple question: who has the cheapest auto insurance?

I found a few really good policies and ended up going with the one that gave me the most bang for my buck, which ended up being very cheap car insurance with no deposit. I mean, you want inexpensive auto insurance but you also want it to help you when and if you need it.

At the end of the day, I was pretty sure I made the right choice. About the car insurance, sure, but also the decision to stay in my apartment. It was really nice not having to wait for the bus on cold and rainy days. Plus, I felt good driving it because I knew I got a great deal on both the car and my insurance coverage.

Used Cars – How I save money

Used Cars: My Partners in Crime

I’m a college student who runs a small landscaping company in the summer. It’s really local, basically I just do yard work for my neighbors. Sometimes I continue into the winter and do some snow removal when I’m home on break. I’ll even come home on a weekend if I know that it’s going to snow because I can clear a lot of sidewalks and driveways with the snow blower I bought last year. That money pretty much gets me through until spring.

Anyway, when I first got the idea to start the business, I knew I would need a vehicle. A truck, really. But since I was just starting out, I didn’t have much money. I was at the end of my senior year in high school at the time and had birthday money and graduation money. Obviously, I was going to need to look at used cars to start out.

My dad took me to a few used car dealerships and it didn’t take me long to find a truck that was perfect. It has some miles on it but I wasn’t going to be taking it very far, just around the neighborhood. I just needed something to haul my supplies from place to place. I was really shocked at how easy it was to find a decent truck and a salesperson who didn’t make me feel like he was trying to take advantage of me.

That first summer was a really successful one for me. So much so that I’d saved up enough to buy a second truck. See, I wanted a vehicle to take to school with me and didn’t want to put the miles on my work truck if I didn’t have to. So, I was soon out looking at used cars for sale again. I found an awesome truck with a lot fewer miles on it than my first one. I went to the same dealership and salesman because I’d been so impressed with him the first time.

I started the summer with zero trucks and no business and, in only 3 short months, I’d been successful enough to buy 2 trucks. The following summer, I earned enough to upgrade my work truck and found yet another truck at the same used car dealership in mississauga by my parents’ house. I know some people look down on buying a used car. But I built a successful business with mine.

Very Cheap No Deposit Car Insurance

So recently, I was looking for the best place to buy very cheap no deposit car insurance near me. And I turned to Google because that’s where I get 100% of my wisdom from.

I have since become the only person in the history of the internet that has searched the term ‘how to find moderately priced car insurance’. There were no relevant results.

The internet is flooded with advice on getting the cheapest deal possible. But is that really a good thing?

I get that car insurance isn’t necessarily something you want to spend your money on. Unless you’re a person who likes giving away large chunks of money in the hopes that they receive absolutely nothing in return.

But why are we all so obsessed with paying less?

I grew up hearing the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’. So why would I want to get less? Even if you sign up for the lowest possible level of cover. The kind that won’t cover any damage if your car is stolen, or damaged while you’re at work. You still have to pay money for it. And then probably pay to fix your car yourself anyway.

Considering the calibre of the areas I usually park in. It’s definitely more likely that I will need to replace slashed tyres and broken windows more often than I’ll need to make a claim for an actual collision. So cheap cover? No thanks.

When did the word ‘cheap’ even become something desirable? I called my boyfriend ‘cheap’ the other day. He didn’t take it as a compliment.

If companies are giving cover away for such little money, how will they stay in business? They may offer me an attractive deal to get me to sign up. But if I actually make a claim it might bankrupt them. And then I’ll be left destitute. So who has the cheapest auto insurance shouldn’t matter, but who has the best!

So that’s why I don’t really want the cheapest no deposit car insurance.

Things I Resent Spending Money On

I love spending money. I love having new things, and fun experiences, and seeing new places. And all of that costs money. I’m fine with that. If I want to do something worthwhile I expect it to cost money. It’s cool. I get it.

But there are some things that I absolutely hate parting with my hard earned cash for.

Parking
I don’t like paying a fee to park my car. It makes otherwise free activities cost money. And it’s normally really expensive. Also, the longer you stay the higher the price, which annoys me. And if you lose your ticket you have to pay for a full day even if you’ve literally only been there for 10 minutes.

The bus/train
The bus is my least favourite place on this earth. I’m never more miserable than when I’m on a bus. Honestly. I’m of the firm belief that someone should be paying me to take buses, not the other way round. And it’s not even cheaper than driving! Bus tickets where I live are double the price of staying in a city centre car park and half as convenient.

Car Insurance
The one reason I don’t usually mind spending money is because I at least get the pleasure of holding something tangible and new in my hands. Heading off to one of the companies that sell car insurance near me, takes the only thing that’s enjoyable about spending away. All I leave with is ‘peace of mind’ and that is a poor replacement for shoes. Here’s where I find car insurance near me : http://www.financeflamingo.com/cheap-car-insurance-near-me/

Food
Another thing I hate buying is food. I don’t mind going to restaurants. My problem is with grocery shopping specifically. It’s just raw ingredients. I feel like I’m paying for the privilege of not having my meals cooked for me.

Currency exchange
If I earn money, why do I have to pay to be able to use it? It’s MY money, I shouldn’t be punished for broadening my horizons by going overseas.
