Combine Policies—Most insurance providers offer discounts when you combine policies. This is a particularly popular option for the two insurance policies you most need—car and home.
Know If You Qualify For Additional Discounts—Some insurance companies offer special discounts for seniors, students, or employees of particular organizations. Checking to see if you qualify for any additional discounts could mean considerable savings.
Keep A Good Credit Score—Insurance premiums can be affected by your credit score, so ensuring that you have a good credit rating can reduce your premiums.
Use The Same Provider For All Your Insurance—Often insurance companies can offer you discounts if you have existing policies with them. This is also the case for financial institutions that offer insurance, as well as brokers.
Review Your Policy Often—A quick review of your policies and keeping your eyes open for better deals, or re-evaluating whether the type of coverage you currently have is more than you really need, can save you money.
