Cheapest Homeowner Insurance -- Sure-Fire Advice

Anybody who uses the right tips will easily get more affordable rates while maintaining adequate coverage But on the other hand, if you have the wrong ones, in spite of the fact that you may still save, you will do so by downgrading the level of coverage you get. I will, however, only make suggestions that will save you much while you still maintain sufficient coverage...

1. Get special fire and security systems that alert fire stations, police stations or other monitoring centers. Apart from the peace of mind you'll have in knowing your house is watched regularly by competent personnel, you'll get lower home insurance premiums. Notwithstanding that the savings this will get you will vary from one insurer to another, you can expect to bring down your home insurance rate by as much as 25%.

2. Using the same insurer for multiple policies will attract a discount. This qualifies you for a multi-policy discount. Even though you'll receive a discount for buying multiple policies from one particular carrier, you may save more by purchasing each particular policy from various insurers.

I'll explain further...

We will operate in the assumption that you've got life, auto, health and home insurance policies. You'll attract a multi-policy discount if you make purchase of all four policies, or at least 2 of them, from the same insurer. Nevertheless, we will look at it from a rather broader view to see another option...

To explain this we'll assume your profile receives the following rates with different companies...


Insurer A

Life insurance: $2,590

Health insurance: $2,200

Auto insurance: $3,500

Home: $2,100


Insurer B

Life insurance: $3,100

Health insurance: $2,400

Auto insurance: $2,500

Home insurance: $2,400


Insure C

Life insurance: $2,900

Health insurance: $1,900

Auto insurance: $2,800

Home insurance: $2,700


Insurer D

Life insurance: $2,100

Health insurance: $2,300

Auto insurance: $2,750

Home insurance: $2,600


From the list above the cost of the 4 policies with Insurer A is $10,390. With a multi-policy discount of 10% your costs will drop to $9,351. This is quite big knowing that you will save over $1,000.

Despite the fact that the savings made with a multi-policy discount is quite big, let's see what would have been the case if you decided to purchase from various companies who offered you the lowest rate for each policy...

Here are the most affordable quotes from different insurance companies for the different policies: $2,1000 from Insurer A;$2,500 from insurer B;$1,900 from insurer C and $2,100 from insurer C. In this case, your costs is reduced to just $8,600.

In this case you'll spend $751 more than if you went for a multi-policy discount with Insurer A.

So spend time to find out which is more beneficial. Spend time to get and compare as many homeowners insurance quotes from as many quotes sites as possible. The wider the range of quotes you receive, the more you'll save because you will be able to spot the cheapest quotes available for your profile.

3. You are eligible for a loyalty discount if you've being with an insurance provider for up to three years. Most companies will give discounts once you maintain your policy with them for three years and above. Howbeit, do NOT remain with an insurer only for this reason. Ensure you're getting a good price to value.

If it is about paying less, you'll likely still be able to pay cheaper than you're paying at any time. The secret is doing thorough shopping. Make a list of insurance carriers that you've never received quotes from and get and compare quotes from them.

4. You will probably reduce your premium if you spend time to go through your home insurance policy not less than once a year or whenever there are changes in your house. That expensive fur coat might no longer be worth as much as when you insured it.

If it is now worth less, you'll then do the sensible thing: Lower your coverage by the same margin and get more affordable premiums as a result. nevertheless, a review may show it's now worth a lot more and that you have to increase coverage.
