  • Toronto Man Hit With $50,000 Bill After Rental Truck Theft: Learn How To Avoid This Costly Mistake
    A Toronto man is facing a $50,000 bill after the rental truck he was using was stolen from his driveway. Thomas Coish rented a 2022 Ram pick-up truck from Enterprise and declined additional insurance coverage, assuming his own car insurance would suffice. But when the truck was stolen the night before it was due to be returned, Coish was shocked to learn he only had liability coverage and wasn't covered for theft.

    Enterprise is holding him responsible for the replacement cost of the truck. It's a reminder to always check what coverage your own insurance provides for rental vehicles before renting a car, and to consider additional coverage options for peace of mind.

  • GM Offers Buyouts To U.S. Salaried Workers
    General Motors is set to offer voluntary buyouts to a majority of its 58,000 US white-collar employees, as the automaker aims to cut $2 billion in structural costs over the next two years.

    The Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) will be offered to all US salaried employees who have worked for five or more years as of June 30. The buyout offer comes after the Detroit automaker announced last week that it would terminate about 500 salaried positions globally.

    Eligible employees interested in the program must sign up by March 24, and those who elect to take a voluntary package and are approved will depart by June 30.

  • Insurers Respond to Viral TikTok Challenge with Limits on High-Risk Car Models
    State Farm and Progressive, two of America's largest car insurers, are limiting their sale of new insurance policies on certain Kia and Hyundai models due to a viral TikTok challenge that caused an "explosive" spike in car thefts. Many of the targeted vehicles lack a basic theft prevention technology called an electronic immobilizer, making them vulnerable to theft. Police have issued tips to protect these high-risk vehicles, such as using anti-theft devices and parking in well-lit areas. Taking steps to secure your vehicle and limit the risk of theft could help control insurance costs if you already have coverage in place.
