For widows, life is changed. In ways big and small, most widows at some point come up hard against a new reality: they have to deal with issues they didn't have to handle before. No matter their age or circumstances, their capability or confidence level, almost all are faced with new challenges and moments of uncertainty.
The Hartford and MIT AgeLab conducted research with recent widows on the importance they place on their cars as they enter a new phase of their lives. Many said that dealing with automotive issues was sometimes overwhelming, particularly because they never had to worry about those tasks before. They were eager to learn more in order to maintain the independence and security those cars provide.
The booklet Your Road to Confidence: A Widow's Guide to Buying, Selling and Maintaining a Car was created to help women take control of and feel confident in their driving futures. The booklet covers basic information on purchasing a car, arranging financing, and selecting and negotiating with a dealer. It outlines points to consider when selling a car, handling problems on the road, and contracting for repairs.
