About VistaCover

VistaCover is an independent publication that explains insurance and personal finance in plain English.

VistaCover is an independent publication about insurance and personal finance.

Most of what gets written on these subjects is either too thin to be useful or written to sell something. We try to do neither. Our guides take one question, such as how a deductible should be chosen, what coinsurance does to a home claim, or how much a one-percent fee really costs, and work it all the way through, with the math shown and the charts built from that math.

We do not sell insurance or financial products, we do not quote prices, and we do not tell anyone what to buy. We explain how things work so you can ask better questions of the licensed people who can actually look at your situation.
