‘Why did nobody teach you what car insurance was for?’: Woman says she’s been paying $320 a month for car insurance when she doesn’t even have a car

In a now-viral TikTok, a woman said she had been paying for car insurance for a year despite not having a car, sparking debate in the comments section.

TikTok user @almightyk0_ posted the video on March 6. In it, she said that she had been paying around $320 a month for car insurance for the past two years. She believed she was paying this amount due to previous penalties on her driving record.

The TikToker explained that she received a payment-due notification from her car insurance provider and decided to call them to see if she could cancel the service because she hadn't had a car for over a year.

"So, I give the lady a call, and I'm telling her I don't got a car no more. My car was wrecked last year in an accident," she said in the clip. "She was like, 'Well if you don't have a car, do you want to cancel your policy?' What car on my policy? I just thought I was paying for my bad driving record."

Luckily, the TikToker said she would receive $3500 in back pay on her policy because she has a police report from the accident that totaled her car.

"Check on your policy number. Don't be me," she said.
