Need? WTF? Maybe he WANTS four vehicles. What difference does it make
(other than perhaps lowering the rates on some of the cars due to
multi-car discounts, low annual mileage rating, etc.)?

The coverage IS with the Hartford but if you mean their regular lines
(non-group plans), I don't recall if they came up or not. My
recollection is that they did but were somewhat higher than the AARP
plan. I did run it by several agents as well as one of those insurance
quote sites and it came out top dog in each case.

Haven't found it to be a problem, especially when I consider the
discount on insurance as well as the lodging discounts when traveling.
Regarding your question on the number of cars. I wasn't complaining
about the premium. I get the coverage I want/need at the best price I
can find. If I choose to have six cars, what's the difference. I NEED
three, but I want the fourth (the 'Vette). No problem.

Truth is, one can save a LOT more by ditching even ONE extra vehicle than
they can by checking the costs of ALL insurance companies in the entire
country.
