Before renewing or purchasing insurance, you may be able to save money by getting new quotes. Each insurance company is different and uses different types of criteria for policy premiums they have. Therefore, prices can fluctuate greatly among carriers. You should talk to multiple companies and get a minimum of three quotes before deciding on a particular insurance company.
You may find a single company that best provides all the insurance coverage you need. If you bundle multiple types of insurance with a single carrier, the savings can be quite large. Moving one policy from a company which insures you for another policy may not save you any money as your original policy’s premium could increase.
Maintaining a healthy credit score is an important part of keeping your insurance premiums down. Your credit history can impact your premium costs. If the credit agencies see you as high-risk, so will the insurance companies.
From the moment you file an insurance claim, document everything related to the claim. Make a record of all communications with your insurance provider, and keep a historical and documented timeline on your claim’s progress. Write a letter to the insurance company after each conversation to confirm the details of the conversation.
