Saving Money on Insurance

July 10, 2009

Insurance Form on MoneyIf you own a home or buying a home try to get your vehicle and home insurance with the same company and get a discounted rate for doing so. We not only checked with local agents, but also did online rate checks.

We have been a member of AARP since we were 50 years old and after reading yet another ad in the AARP magazine and getting the best quote online we decided to call them to see what the final rate would be. We found that we saved over $200.00 on the auto insurance and over $300.00 on the home insurance. The company is Hartford. We actually have better coverage for the vehicles and our home so we were pleased.

You don't have to be a member of AARP to be covered with Hartford, but it gives you additional discount for being a memeber plus other discounts. I guess it helped that we had good driving records and just minor accident in 25 year period. The quotes are free and you can find toll free numbers to call for it so if you are getting quotes get one from them. I had more problems getting to see our local agent than calling and talking to a rep of Hartford so don't be afraid to try this.

If it's been a while since you've reviewed your home and auto insurance, take look at your deductibles. Because if you've been with the company for a long time you might have deductibles that are lower than you actually need.

Check your credit before purchasing homeowners or auto insurance. Your credit it seems is an indicator of the risk you will be.
