Im thinking of getting my first car this weekend but dont have a bank account to do the insurance, is there anyway of having car insurance and not pay by card?
I was going about 40mph on a 3 lane street, I signaled, merged from the center lane to the right lane. I had about 5 car lengths behind me to the next car, when I get into the lane, I have to slow to a stop, 2 seconds later the car behind me slams into me. The damage is very minimal, but there is damage. I had neck pains and so did my passenger. I filed a damage claim and injury claim. Unfortanately, I didn’t get a police report; I thought it was an easy case since he hit me from behind. But this guy decided to claim that I cut him off and I was not completely in the lane when I was stopped, which is completely false. What should I do? I received a letter to call the California Department of Insurance Claims. Do I have case? I really feel this person should not get away with not paying for the damage to my vehicle because he twisted the story..
Yes I had Geico and in California. Everything was reported to my insurance and I made my statement to their insurance. I received a letter today, 1 month after the accident, that they denied my claim. That I was at fault for doing “an unsafe lane change”. Which is ridiculous! He was claiming that I cut him off and was not completely in the lane. Which is also false. I signaled and merged in the lane, 2-3 seconds later, he hit me from behind. Damage is directly behind me on the right rear bumper, his damage is left front.
I’m just looking to get my car repaired. My neck does and so does my passenger but I can deal with it. I mainly want my car to be repaired at that person’s expense. So what happens after this? Should my insurance provide the next step or do I have to report this to the California Insurance place?
I bought our RAV4 used and w/o a instruction/guide information. The car has 40,000 miles on it. I’m thinking its a 10,000 mile check up.

What is the difference between Liability and full coverage auto insurance? (and just how must I apply for full coverage auto insurance; because I had a friend that had liability auto insurance and when her suv got stolen, it was just a total lost!)

Consumer Reports said it and consumers apparently believe it as they continue to flock to their Long Island Camry hybrid dealer for Toyota models which were rated among the most efficient. Toyota can lay claim to six of the top 15 fuel-efficient models.
Although Long Island Toyota RAV4 customers won’t find their model on the list since only cars were included, there are so many other Toyota models on the list that those loyal to the brand won’t be at a loss if their main criterion for the next purchase is great mileage.
Coming in first with nearly unbelievable mileage numbers of 55 highway and 43 city was Toyota Prius IV, one the biggest Toyota successes in years. The Prius model is being expanded into an entire family of cars, including the plug-in hybrid set to debut later this year and a model with solar roof panels. Prius owners are a breed unto themselves and not only are loyal, but eagerly anticipate the greener models to come.
Long Island Camry hybrid customers will be pleased to know their model rated sixth in overall fuel efficiency with 28 mpg city and 41 mpg highway. Other Toyota brand vehicles appearing in this prestigious list include: Scion xD in ninth place; Yaris base sedan in 13th place; Corolla LE in 14th place; and Corolla (base, manual) rounding out the list in 15th place.
Test criteria for the Consumer Reports include measurements of fuel economy, which come from using a precision flow meter and are rounded to the nearest mile per gallon. Overall mileage for each vehicle is calculated from equal portions of city and expressway driving on a 150-mile trip. Consumer Reports issues these reports annually after conducting extensive tests.
Okay, for you Long Island Toyota RAV4 owners, Consumer Reports also compiles a list of most fuel-efficient SUVs and Toyota Highlander hybrid rated fourth on that list with an overall mpg rating of 24. In fifth place, Toyota RAV4 (base, 4 cyl.) had a 23 overall rating. Toyota RAV4 Limited (V6) placed 11th with an overall mpg of 22. Does this mean the gas hog SUV is a thing of the past?
With all the new hybrids and innovative fuel-saving ideas being produced by Toyota and planned for production in the near future, imagine where the Toyota models may rate in the next fuel-efficiency test. The plug-in Prius will certainly figure into the equation, and who knows how the solar-powered model might measure up.
Despite the recall nightmare that Toyota is embroiled in, not only does customer loyalty seem to have been retained, but the fuel-efficiency of many models and the new hybrids waiting in the wings may just be the boost Toyota needs to stay on top and bring in new buyers.
In today’s economy, when car buyers are looking for a bargain at the register as well as on the road, Toyota has stepped up to the plate and offered consumers what they asked for: clean, green and not-too-mean on the wallet.
