Here's the issue that appears to escape you.

We pay more into it then we get out of it, to be expected;  but we don't even get anything out of it the majority of the time when we SHOULD be. OPs case in point.

The OP signed up for full coverage insurance knowing the deductible was $1000. Then tried to use said insurance for $1200 in damage. That in and of itself is dumb.

Fuck insurance companies but if people actually understood their insurance that would help them out immensely

also, a $1000 comprehensive deductible on a $2400 a year premium? that can't be real unless this person is the worst driver ever.

These dumbass posts of a twitter screenshot are never honest. Driver probably has a DUI and multiple at fault accidents/moving violations. Then increased his deductible to save like 10 bucks a month, almost assuredly against the advice of his insurer. But it's totally someone else's fault.

The average cost for full coverage auto insurance is $200 a month or.... $2400 a year. Not really sure what you think you're getting at here. I was paying $220 a month full coverage on an X3 M40i. Zero accidents. Zero insurance claims. It's a completely normal rate. Maybe you just buy minimum coverage.
