4 Ways To Save On Your Homeowner Insurance Premiums
Packaging your home and auto insurance is a common way to save on your insurance premiums....
Looking for more ways to save on your homeowner insurance premiums?
Increase your deductible
A deductible is the portion of any covered loss that you pay before your policy provides payment. You can usually lower the cost of your insurance when you increase your deductible. You start saving right away and pay the deductible amount only if you have a covered loss. For many insureds, the premium savings over time more than makes up for the occasional, out-of-pocket expense of a deductible.
Insure both your home and auto with the same insurance company
If you package your home and auto coverage, you often receive additional savings on your home, condominium or tenants policies and on your auto insurance premiums. For even more savings, you can package your insurance for your boat, motorhome, jewelry, rental properties and more with your homeowner coverages.

Age 50 or Retired?

If you are at least 50 years old or retired, you may be eligible for a discount. For information more on the discounts offered in your state, a quote or policy service, please contact your local independent insurance agent.
