So to find your home insurance and auto insurance combo have a good search around. You may find that some local comapanies in your state can offer you a better deal than some of the larger companies. Get online or on the phone get quotes from at least 10-20 different companies. When you have then got the list down to 3-4 companies you can then check them out with the BBB and also any state or local consumer protection office. It is worth checking also that you are definatley getting a better rate when you combine both insurance types with the same company.

We have had some good feedback on State Farm with customers quoting that they paid a bit more on their premiums with State farm but the customer service is real good and anyone who has required to place a claim has always been treated well and the claims handled quickly and effectively. The same comments have come from customers using Metropolitan Life insurance also and they do good deals on customers purchasing both basic homeowners insurance and auto insurance in a package.

It is also worth looking into using an insurance broker. They do this for a living and really know the market and offers that are out there like the back of their hand. Due to the complex nature of insurance products and the multitude of companies out there with different plans it is near impossible to really compare all the different offers by yourself. Insurance brokers can do all this work for you based on your insurance requirements. You should find you will pay less after using an insurance broker.

The bottom line is that there is no one “best” or “cheapest” insurance package. You need to do the shopping around and once you colate all the information and quotes weigh up all the options and make the decision.

The best way to get a deal on a homeowners policy is to take a good shop around. Compare lots of insurance companies and find out from family and friends if they are happy with their current home insurance policies. It’s important to make sure you get a lot of different quotes from insurance companies and make sure you understand exactly what the policy covers. There are certain sites in which you can compare insurance companies against one another to get you the best quotes.

Another important point to note is to look for discounts from the companies when you purchase your homeowner insurance basic plan. A lot of companies offer discounts you just need to make sure you are aware of what they are and that you are able to have certain discounts. The main thing is to make sure you ask your insurer on what discounts they have. Some common basic home owner insurance discounts:

• Senior Citizen discounts
• Non smoker discount
• Discounts for having safety features like fire extinguishers, burglar alarms, smoke alarms etc
• Discounts for purchasing auto insurance through the same company

One thing that alot of people don’t take advantage of is to raise your deductible of your homeowners insurance plan. The deductible is the amount that you have to pay towards a loss before your policy will then pay for any loss or damage. The higher the deductible the lower your premium will be. You will find that the amount you save will surpass this deductible amount anyhow so it’s sometimes smart to have a higher deductible set.

Another way to save on homeowners insurance is to see if your company or any association you belong to has deals set up with insurance companies that normally could include generous discounts for the members.

If you stay with your insurance company for a number of years you should have a reduction by the company on your premiums, a lot of companies do this so if yours is not request why not. For being loyal to the company you should be rewarded in some way.

These are just a few things to help you save on your home insurance basic plans, make sure you put these into action when searching for any new insurance policies.
