LPT – If your car is ever followed, drive to the nearest police station. Call the station to notify them and have an officer meet you outside. Edit: Google it or search on Maps. If that’s not an option, call 911 and have them direct you to the nearest station. You will not get in trouble for doing so, and you’re always better safe than sorry. submitted by /u/steelstringheart

My rental car has a mysterious dent in it that I didn’t cause and it’s unknown if it was there when I first picked up the car. I am traveling for a funeral. I rented the least expensive car I could find – a full size pickup truck from Budget. Normally I take pictures of cars I rent but this time I was in a hurry. I got in and drove. That was yesterday. Today I’m noticing a lot of small defects. There’s a small cut in the passenger side seat fabric. The tow light hook u…

Should I drain out my savings to pay for car or have a car payment ? I have $18,000 in savings. It is time to get rid of my car. I can maybe get ~$4,000 out of it. I’m going to buy another used car (a Corolla, so it will last a while fingers crossed) and I’m guessing it will be around $18,000. So that will leave approximately $4,000 left in savings. I put in around $400 in savings a month. That’s a huge chunk ou…

25m renting car in Italy with Europcar. Upgraded insurance seems like a ripoff? I’ll be in Sicily this summer visiting family for 5 weeks and rented a car with Europcar.

HOWEVER, selecting this option increases my collision deduc…
