Travel Insurance?

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Raymus asked:


I’m flying with Midwest and when I booked my flight they gave me an option of purchasing travel insurance. I didn’t think I needed it at the time, but now I’m not so sure. Can anyone tell me if this is something I should get or not. If it makes any difference I’m not flying internationally.

Age limit to rent aircraft?

Saturday, March 21st, 2009
deej1188 asked:


My friend is an aviation student at Westminster College in Utah. I got the chance to tag along on a flight lesson a few weeks back. At the end of this semester, he will have his private pilots license and be working on his instrument rating next fall. I was just curious what the rules were on renting small planes from airports. Hes only 19 years old and I was wondering if the insurance rules are similar to those of vehicles (25 yr old minimum I think). Not that he has the financial ability or desire to rent a plane but I was just wondering. I can understand why a 19 year olds wouldn’t be able to rent.

small car accident. dont know what to do?

crazy4beadz asked:


Can someone help me out?

a month ago, my friend borrowed my car, and got into a small accident. The man decided to follow my friend to my house since it was on the next block this had happened.
He seemed to be very friendly, admited it was his fault, and said he was i a hurry to drive his wife to the airport she was a flight attendant and didnt want to be late. He said he left his insurance card in his other car..I thought to myself, it happens, accidents do happen, so he gave me his drivers license, i wrote down all the information, he gave me his home telephone number.
So I called him back a few days later, he told me he was on the phone and couldnt talk, i was like oookkk. so i called him back 2 minutes later and asked him for his insurance policy number.
He said that since it was such a small dent, then he would pay me cash.so i went ahead, and got n estimate on the damage, $1,200.
My husband called him 2 weeks ago and left a message and told him the estimate. He never cal
he never called back. today my husband called him and the man said wrong number. ohh what do i do?? police report? or was it my fault for not reporting this the first day?

Do you agree Main Street also need a bailout?

Monday, March 16th, 2009
I am Real asked:


If Greedy Wall Street, the creators of our present economic mess are being bailout by the Government, then it only makes sense for Main Street/Middle Class Taxpayers who will foot the $700 billion to also get some sort of bailout. After all, greedy wall street made millions in all the bad mortgage backed securities, CDOs, derivatives, credit swaps etc thus whether they are bailed out or not, it will still be a win situation for them.
On the hand, hardworking middle class have lost half of their life savings, 401k, have to prolong their retirement years, have to take second jobs to cover their health care cost and tuition for their children…this absolutely doesn’t make sense!

For the bailout to work and directly impact the financial system, I propose 1/4th of the $700 billion to be given to main street in these forms:
a) another round of rebate check, so people can buy gifts for their family during the holidays which will raise revenues for retail shops;
b) get two months relief from paying mortgages and rent, so that good citizens who with hard work have not defaulted their mortgage payments will be rewarded and in the end it will help these same mortgage companies that will are trying to bail out to reduce the number of default payments;
c) tax credit for everyone so that families can regain back some of their 401k savings that they’ve lost on the stock market;
d) 1 year tuition re-reimbursement, zero percent loans for college and graduate schools to encourage people with dead-locked jobs to pursue other careers that can lift them up to upper middle class level and help them compete globally and chase good jobs in China, India and Europe;

e) Relief for people who pay live in States that pay “Vehicle Tax”, zero percent auto loans or rebate checks for people to pay their next car insurance.
f) Since the CEO’s outrageous salaries will be reduced, it is only fair for that surplus to be used to raise hardworking employees’ salary to 7%-10% annually against inflation. The current 3%-5% annual increases is ridiculous especially when few people are given based on office politics while senior management get millions in bonuses, free jet flights, re-reimbursement for the luxurious trips and lunches.

Again, Main Street need a break, even if the $700 bailout is given to Wall Street, they will still squander it and buy more corporate jets, big mansions in cayman island, Bahamas, Hawaii, Bermuda and purchases of islands in Dubai and the Carri beans. Rather , when the money is given to main street, the money will have “IMMEDIATE, DIRECT on our financial system to stimulate the economy since it will be locally used to pay bills, spent on gas and Christmas shopping. Please petition to your local Government Reps so Main Street, the innocent people will also be bailed out!!

Do I need “Trip Protector?”?

Monday, March 16th, 2009
Lina asked:


When booking my flight through Orbitz, I was asked if I wanted Trip Protector, which I gather is a travel insurance.

Do I need this? I don’t travel often and am not knowledgeable about these things.

Help!
