Should I Bundle My Auto Insurance with My Home Insurance?

Should I Bundle My Auto Insurance with My Home Insurance?

The idea of bundling your home and auto insurance is a common one often suggested by insurance providers. This is for a variety of reasons: first, you can save money by bundling your insurance. Second, insurers like being your main source of insurance. time lapse photography of man riding car

However, bundling home and auto isn’t the best choice for everyone. The decision should be calculated based on your specific insurance needs. Be sure to speak with an insurance agent and your loved ones todiscuss the best possible way to bundle—or not bundle—your insurance in order to save money without sacrificing coverage.

Does Home and Auto Insurance Overlap?

In some cases, your auto insurance and home insurance coverages could overlap in unexpected ways. This is why it is important to have both and ask about bundling possibilities. For example, home insurance covers your personal belongings in case of damage or loss due to fire, wind, hail, lightning, smoke, theft, vandalism and more. However, your vehicle is not covered as a personal item or belongings. If your vehicle is stolen, it should be covered under the comprehensive coverage of your auto insurance policy.

But if your personal items within the vehicle are lost or damaged, auto insurance may not cover them. Instead, your home insurance policy may come with coverage for personal belongings that are off the premises, such as those kept in your vehicle.

A Few Tips to Consider

Although discounts are the main reason people bundle their insurance policies, never assume that bundling is the cheapest option. Your needs and circumstances will dictate whether you should combine your policies with one carrier. Consider the following tips:

  • Shop for new coverage when your policies renew, and ask for the price of the individual premiums as well as the price of the bundled premium so you can decide whether it is worth it. Just make sure you compare the same coverage when shopping for quotes from each carrier.
  • Ask if the provider uses a third-party insurance company. Remember that you may save money but lose the convenience of dealing with one provider and a combined bill.
  • Ask an independent insurance agent to get prices from multiple companies so you don’t have to do the legwork. An agent that is loyal to a particular carrier may be able to offer discounts that you can’t get alone.

When in doubt, speak with an insurance agent about how much coverage you need and what you can do to save money on your auto and home insurance coverages.
