| Recent Questions | Customer service for AAA roadside assistance only versus AAA auto insurance? Insurance companies are regulated at a state commissioner level and in theory are supposed to be neutral. But, it's hard to say for sure any being is entirely neutral. Can I get AAA roadside assistance without having insurance with them?You should be able to purchase roadside assistance with AAA without switching your insurance coverage to AAA. Their roadside coverage is actually offered separate from their insurance policies for this specific reason. See More Questions | Insurance increase due to increased cost of parts and labor? There's a couple of things to look at here. First, parts and labor for BMWs are typically higher than other vehicles and are considered more expensive in general to maintain. Can Esurance deny a refund if I forgot to cancel my policy when I switched to a new company?This sounds like an company issue and not a state law. Insurance companies in Illinois are legally required to issue refunds for "unearned premium", but you didn't prepay your bill. See More Questions |
