Bundle Policies
Many insurers offer discounts for people who hold more than one policy. Bundling your home, auto, and other insurance policies with the same provider could help you save!
Increase Deductibles
You can also consider opting for a higher deductible to reduce your premium. Just be sure you are financially ready to cover the deductible in the case of a claim.
Improve Your Risk Profile
Often, home improvements or other risk-reducing measures, such as installing security systems, can lower insurance costs. Report any major home repairs, such as a new roof, to your insurance company. Our agents can help you find lower premiums as there becomes less risk to insurers.
Maintain a Good Credit Score
Reducing your debt, making payments on time, and checking your credit report could help lower your insurance payment! Because many insurers use credit scores to determine rates, maintaining a good credit score can help you secure lower premiums.
Consult an Insurance Agent
A brief meeting with an insurance agent may be all you need to reduce costs! The team at Staples & Associates can help you navigate the complexities of insurance products and find options that offer better value for your money.
