Re:The battle between Tesla and your neighborhood car dealer... by techsupporter on Saturday September 10, 2016 @11:50PM (#12471908)
I am so opposed to walking into a dealership and buying anything that my last three vehicles were bought from private sellers on Craigslist. After the most recent crapped out, I gave up even on that and now use transit full time. The entire ecosystem around buying, owning, maintaining, and disposing of privately-owned automobiles is just...well, bad to me. And I'm tired of dealing with it so I won't. Instead, I give car2Go, ReachNow, and ZipCar around a hundred dollars per month, an insurance company under $20/month for a non-owner liability policy, and my employer gives me a transit pass as a benefit (though my household does have fare expenses for my spouse and kid).

(Offer does not apply to cities without a viable mass transit system. Your experience may vary. See a doctor for transit trips lasting more than four hours. Ticket vending machines on the upper level. Do not cross or stand in the roadway.)

Where did you find this policy for $20?

I've been looking for one of these, but everywhere I could find was much more expensive than this.

A specialty mutual carrier but you could try Vern Fonk. I hear that they are inexpensive and issue those policies.

If you're eligible for USAA, they also have such policies.
