Which locations have the highest auto insurance costs and why?
Which industries have the highest commercial auto insurance costs and why?
What are the benefits of opting for a higher deductible in favor of a lower monthly premium?
Do you recommend paying for commercial car insurance monthly or annually, and why?

What are the advantages of bundling your vehicles as a fleet under your commercial auto insurance policy?

MEDIA OUTLET: AARP
MEDIA WEBSITE: https://www.aarp.org/
DEADLINE DATE: 2025-06-13
DEADLINE TIME: 12:00 pm Pacific Standard Time
QUERY: I'm working with AARP to write an informative article about the most common hidden costs of moving in retirement and how to budget for them.
I need industry experts (e.g., certified financial planners who specialize in retirement, tax professionals, retirement coaches, senior move managers/relocation specialists) to share unique insights.
To be considered, please share insights on the following questions (all or the ones you can answer):
1. What are the top 5-7 hidden costs (e.g., home modification expenses for aging in place, healthcare provider network changes, Medicare disruptions, tax changes, etc.) that catch your retirement clients off guard when they relocate? Here, it would be helpful to list the hidden costs, followed by a detailed explanation of each/what seniors can do to budget for it, and share real-life examples where relevant/possible.
2. What are the biggest red flags you see when clients are budgeting for a retirement move — what warning signs indicate they're underestimating costs?
3. What are the top 5-7 questions you recommend retirees ask themselves before making a move to uncover these costs?
4. Can you share a story about a client who got surprised by relocation costs — what happened and how much did it end up costing them?
5. Can you walk me through some specific examples of how Medicare or healthcare costs change when retirees move across state lines?
6. How do state tax differences actually impact a retiree's bottom line — can you give me some real numbers or scenarios?
7. How do insurance costs — homeowners, auto, health — typically change when retirees move interstate, and what surprises do you see most often?
Finally, please provide:
1) your role/title, a link to your LinkedIn profile, company website, and company descriptor
2) a good email address AND phone number to follow up if needed (MUST be the source's contact information)
IMPORTANT: We can't accept/use AI-written responses, or responses you've already submitted elsewhere. Also, I'm not looking for surface-level information easily found online. These questions are meant more as a guide to get more nuanced, in-depth expertise from you :) Please share relevant common hypothetical scenarios or client experiences to back up answers.
Also, submissions not following the instructions as indicated above will not be considered.
Thanks!
