Benefits of bundling home and auto insurance

1. Savings: Combining your insurance policies under one company can mean serious savings. Companies want you to keep all your policies in the same place, so they’ll offer big discounts for combining your home, auto, motorcycle, boat or RV insurance all in the same place.

2. Claims filing: Bundling can also earn you coverage perks that can help you save on out-of-pocket expenses in the event of property damage, like only having to pay one deductible on covered losses to both your home and car. While the savings might not be noticeable right off the bat, this policy feature could pay big dividends if your home and car are ever damaged in the same disaster (like if a major windstorm knocks a tree onto your garage).

3. Convenience: Along with the savings, bundling also makes managing policies easier, cuts down on paperwork, saves you time trying to remember log-in information and passwords, and reduces the inconvenience of having to communicate with multiple insurance companies when filing a claim or renewing your policy. Bundling also limits the hassle of having to pay multiple insurance bills with different providers, since you can usually combine your home and auto payments.

How to bundle your home and auto insurance

If you currently have home and auto insurance with two different companies, don’t worry, you can still bundle your policies. You can shop around to see if bundling with either of your current insurance companies is the best option vs. setting up a bundle with a brand new insurance company.

Step 1: Check your current coverage 

Most of the need-to-know information about your current home and auto policies will be in their respective declarations pages (often shortened to dec pages), which you should have gotten when you first set up the policies. If you don’t have your dec pages on hand, contact your insurance company.

The dec pages will include information that will make it easy to comparison shop home and auto insurance bundles, including:

• Your annual premium

• Coverage amounts for each section of your policy

• Your deductible amount

• The policy’s effective dates (when your coverage starts and ends)

Understanding basic details about each policy will help you make an apples-to-apples comparison so you can get the same (or better) coverage for a lower price.

Step 2: Shop and compare

Once you have a clear understanding of your coverage and how much you’re currently paying, it’s time to shop and compare. Some key points to remember in the home and auto insurance shopping process:

• Bundling policies can mean big savings, so consider shopping for home and auto (or home and motorcycle, RV or boat insurance) at the same time

• You should get quotes from at least three different companies — seeing multiple options will help you ensure you’re getting the best coverage at the lowest price

• Be honest when answering questions about your home — if you don’t disclose a recent claim for roof damage or a trampoline in your backyard, you won’t get accurate quotes

A Policygenius agent can help you compare quotes from top companies and choose the best one for your budget. Our experts can also help you figure out if you need more or less coverage than you had with your last policies, and give you advice about any additional coverage you might want to consider.

Step 3: Cancel your old insurance

When you’re ready to cancel your policy and switch insurers, you should give your current company 30 days notice in writing. This gives you plenty of time to set up a home and auto insurance policy with your new insurance company, so you can avoid a lapse in coverage. This also clears up any confusion around your final date of your service. 

Canceling a policy, whether it’s bundled or not, is pretty straightforward. You can contact your insurer by phone or email to ask about the cancellation process, and they’ll let you know if you need to sign a cancellation letter. 

If you’ve prepaid your premiums, you may get a refund(excluding any fees). If you have a home and auto bundle with one company and you want to cancel just one of those policies, your insurer will work with you to adjust your policy, although you will lose any bundling discount. However you do it, just make sure that you’ve set your new policy to start on the same day your old policy ends.
