Now that it's cool to be thrifty, it's easy to find money-saving tips on everything from groceries to your mortgage. You'll find lots of advice about cutting insurance costs, and the advice is usually pretty good.
A few of the most popular tips for lowering your insurance premiums are:
Getting several quotes
Increasing your deductible
Applying for discounts (multiple policy discount, safe driver discount, etc.)
But if you're looking to save hundreds, even thousands, on your insurance costs, consider Dave's number-one tip: Purchase your coverage through an independent insurance agent, which is an agent who represents several insurance companies instead of working for just one carrier. How can an independent agent save you money? Think about how long it would take you to gather quotes from several companies on your home, auto and life insurance policies. Then, imagine comparing each policy's features and costs to find the best coverage. After that, you'd have to determine which discounts you qualify for and apply for them with each individual company. And even after all that work, you'd still wonder if you could be getting a better deal somewhere else. Independent insurance agents have access to a network of insurance providers, not just one individual company. That's great for two reasons:
- The agent's loyalty is to you, the customer, not the insurance provider. If a company's policy isn't a good fit for you, he won't try to get you to buy it just for the commission.
- Your agent will track down the best policies for your family and budget—no hunting and gathering required!
