Raising your deductible is one way to cut costs. While you’ll pay more out of pocket for emergency claims, increasing your deductible to $1,000 could save you up to 25% on monthly premiums.
Bundling your home and auto insurance can also lead to savings, typically between 5% and 15%.
Loyalty pays off, too. Long-term policyholders often qualify for discounts, and calling your provider to say you’re considering switching carriers may prompt them to offer a better rate.
Upgrading your home with features like storm shutters, a new roof, or an alarm system can also lower your premiums. Contact your insurance company to find out which improvements will save you the most.
Follow these to keep your home insurance costs under control.
