Don't assume all cars need the same insurance

Just as you shouldn't waste insurance on minor incidents, Bogue says some cars just don't need the full insurance package. Drivers always need to maintain their liability insurance in case they cause an accident but some cars just aren't worth the hassle and expense. For example, Bogue's third vehicle is an old Toyota pickup that he uses sparingly. He wouldn't miss it if it "fell off a cliff tomorrow." Insuring it with a reasonable deductible would be useless, he says; it would irritate insurers without promising much upside in the event of a claim.
