Anybody knows how this works?
Back in the day, I saved money for a long time to buy a Z-Type. Now I have one in my garage, but I don't really drive it unless the server is safe enough. You see, some people on GTA Online have taken the destruction of my personal vehicle to be their ultimate life-goal. When these same people get to drive tanks, it's all hell broken loose.
This wouldn't be that problematic, however, if I wouldn't have to pay for the fucking insurance myself. What's up with that? I thought destroying a personal vehicle of another player is considered ''bad sport'', resulting that you have to pay for the insurance for him. Still, more often than not I have to pay for the whole goddamn 11 875 $ insurance myself if some jackass decides to blow my Z-Type up. Repeat this process three times consecutively and it's not even funny anymore.
Seriously, WTF?

It makes no sense at all and never has. I will never understand why this game caters to tanks and people that blow up other people's vehicles. On the bright side I mainly drive my Sultan or Sandking and they are cheap to replace. But that doesn't justify the bullshit, that's for sure.

I switched to Sultan for the very same reason. Cool looking car, yet so cheap insurance fee. And it's our official Crew car, of course  |

Yeah it's dumb as fuck. But i believe that if you destroy someones personal vehicle both you and that person have to pay. But i think the sum is pretty random.
I had a alot of fun driving around in one of my more expensive cars in passive mode trying to get blown up by a tank griefer. I tried to stay right in front of him while he tried to do everything possible not to blow my car up. That was really fun how he turn around when i stopped right in front of him and then drove around and stopped in front of him again and again.

Sometimes I get it free of charge, since the other guy had to pay. More often I have to pay for it entirely though.
No middle ground for me, it seems

On the other hand if you do not have enough, it will drain as much as it can from your account and the owner will pay the difference. |

I pretty much gave up driving my Entity in free roam and only use it to race... course it's not totally because of tankers... me + Entity = swimming with the fishes. Was getting expensive at 10K every time I put it in the drink, I need 007s Lotus  |

Obviously this is a minority, but some people purposely bankrupt themselves for griefing purposes. |

I think they do something like switch to their second character, take it out of the bank, then switch back to their main character so that they dont get the bill.

The point of insurance is that you don't have to pay the whole price of the car again. Although, if someone else destroys your car, they should have to pay even if they don't have the money. There should definitely be a debt system, like Mick Dynamite said. |
