The possibility to save money can be a large deciding factor when you’re shopping for one or multiple insurance policies. If you’re a homeowner with one or multiple vehicles in your household, especially with a youthful driver, you might be looking into discounts or other money-saving strategies like bundling.
There are several benefits of bundling your insurance, but does bundling insurance save money? We have the answers to help you decide if insurance bundling is right for you.
The bundling basics
Another name for bundling insurance is a multi-policy discount. A policyholder can choose to “package” or bundle two or more insurance policies when placing with a single insurance carrier. Most commonly, carriers will offer a multi-policy discount for home insurance and auto insurance bundles.
Why insurance companies offer insurance bundling options
Here are a few reasons insurance companies offer insurance bundling:
- To simplify insurance and promote ease of use—customers can navigate anything from making a payment to filing a claim for multiple insurance policies.
- To reward customers for purchasing several insurance policies with them—multi-policy discounts are the most common perk.
- To keep customers from shopping around—happy customers who get quality service for a discount are less inclined to leave.
While home and auto insurance bundles are very popular, they aren’t the only option. Check out these other ways to bundle and save:
- Condo and auto
