Five New Types of Car Insurance Available Now
This year, five new car insurance policies hit the market with some interesting (and crazy) offerings that can save you money.
Two of these new products are Vanishing Deductibles from Nationwide Insurance, and Better Car Replacement from Liberty Mutual.
Then there's pet injury coverage from the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies and Mobile Food Vendors Insurance from Whorton Insurance Services.
The weirdest one is Heffernan Insurance Brokers' insurance program for Burning Man participants.
Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the planets aligning, but somebody out there is thinking outside the box. Way outside.
Whatever the case, now is a great time to do your annual insurance rate comparison. Rates can differ by up to $2,000 per year for the exact same coverage.

There is a new online car buying service called Roadster, available only to California residents, which I highly recommend you try - especially if you hate the stress of haggling with a car salesman. They provide an expert concierge who negotiates the price of the car and delivers it to your home with zero hassle - you never have to interact with a dealership.
