So I've currently have a shitty old truck with even shittier CA plates on it.

I can't remember the last time I even had to register a older car, what's the process to get this done in Maricopa Co?

Insurance > smog > DMV?

Smog > Insurance > DMV?

Anyone know a guy for cut rate bare bottom insurance?

Smog - Depends on the age of the truck.
Insurance - I assume you have insurance today.
DMV - Go to an independent DMV. It's worth the additional $25

When we move here (Mohave County)3 years ago I walked in to MVD with no appointment. Registered two pickups (68 & 07), a car (92) and a motorcycle (78).
In and out in 10 minutes.
Mohave County doesn't smog.
Drivers license was a different story.

How much ya'll paying for minimum liability plus uninsured motorist?

I've learned that uninsured motorist coverage won't fix your car in the event an illegal hit and runs you.

If anyone hits and "runs", how does one determine their legal status other than assumption?

OK, it won't cover me in the event anyone hit and runs me.

Bingo! I'm not ready to recommend this one yet. I want to see if the AZ Summer melts it off the windshield like the last two but so far it has held up longer and looks to be better.

Edit to Add - Nothing happens in the footage above. It's just a sample of the cam video quality. If you are watching it waiting on an accident or something, you are going to be disappointed. Just a guy out for a leisurely morning drive in his truck.

I've learned that uninsured motorist coverage won't fix your car in the event an illegal hit and runs you.

Back when I lived in Yuma (NOTE: this was 20 years ago), getting into a fender bender with a Mexican National in an uninsured car happened more often than people would want to believe.

Because Yuma was so close to the border, many residents of San Luis would cross the border from Sonora into the US to go shopping. Rarely did they ever buy American Insurance. Unfortunately there was not a check at the border for proof of insurance. According to the husband of a co-worker back then who was a Yuma County Deputy, they'd typically just remove whatever they bought from the car and start walking towards the border. Given the cost of used cars on the Mexican side of the border, it was apparently cheaper for them to just replace the car rather than insure it.

I've been on the receiving end of two fender benders over the years here in Phoenix. Both ended up being uninsured motorists. Each time I ended up having to fight with my own insurance company to get reimbursed for the damage.

So...... What are ya'll paying?

The lowest I've been quoted for the aforementioned is $375/6 months.

GTGallop · « **Reply #11 on:** April 10, 2021, 05:54:57 pm »

$702.73 6 Month Premium Comprehensive with USAA on a 2019 Ranger Truck.

patkelly4370 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 10, 2021, 09:43:01 pm »

I pay $170/mo for 2 pickups, 2 SUVs (both full coverage until paid off), and one motorcycle.

I'm surprised the rates here are not much different from Los Angeles!

CZ · « **Reply #14 on:** April 11, 2021, 08:29:04 am »

I pay around $700 for 6 months on a Tahoe and a Mitsubishi with USAA it is $300 cheaper than Reno was.

yea how in the hell does that work? the AZ DMV website thing confuses the living hell out of me lol

Only been out here for 1 week and I want my Az license so I can go pick up some new guns. Otherwise I'd just act like I live in California cuz my insurance is actually cheaper in CA then AZ (go figure lol)

I'm a truck driver. With hazmat endorsement.
The hazmat plays havoc with "the system" when getting the "travel" license.
The clerk said there were a dozen or so work arounds to get it to go through.
Unfortunately, he enters info until it locks up. Then has to start over from the beginning and try the next hack. Each time takes about 20 minutes.
He was getting pissed. He apologized for cussing, but I completely understood.
Took 9 attempts.

oh! yea you're in a whole different realm then lol

I actually worked for Kenworth and now returned to Cummins so I'm very aware of the hoops truckers have to jump through for everything. Specially in california with their bullshit aftertreatment systems and 90-day bit inspections and all that crap
