Hi Greg, yes, we have cash available to cover the deductibles. I'm wondering more along the lines of -- if we have an accident every 10 years, and the cost is $120 year, that is $1,200 + $1,000 deductible cost. But if we paid for a repair ourselves, it would probably cost more than $2,400 for a typical fix? I am guessing yes, and that therefore, the $120/year cost for collision is a good deal.
Does that make sense? Am I calculating this right?
I upped our homeowner deductible to $5,000 today, removed the sump pump/basement flood coverage, and removed the insurance on my diamond engagement ring ($80/year on $5,000 value). Now i just have to keep track of that ring….
