When comparing your insurance premiums, use your discounts!

When comparing your insurance premiums you need to make sure you are looking at the whole picture rather than looking at one mono-policy compared to another. Often the various discounts available through a multiline carrier will make your overall insurance cost less than if you just compared one mono-line policy to another.

For example, your auto/renters discount can save you so much on the auto premium that it can pay for the Renters policy. In other words, you can get two car insurance policies and a Renters, for the same total cost as two auto insurance policies.

Discounts you want to look for are the: Multi Line Discount, Good Driver Discount, Multi Car Discount, Persistency Discount, Safe Driving Discount, Business or Professional Group Discount, Anti-Theft Discount, Passive Restraint Discounts,AntiLock Brake Discount,Alternative Fuel Discount,Senior Defensive Driver Discount,Good Student Discount,Inexperienced Driver Training Discount,and the Electronic Stability Control Discount.

Be sure to compare the cost of the total household insurance premium cost rather than a mono line comparison. That way you can be sure you are getting the best value for your insurance cost!
