Not asking about discounts.
Some home insurance companies offer discounts if you have a security system, smoke detectors or deadbolt locks. Others might provide discounts for people who live in certain parts of town that are safe and minimal risk.
Another discount is if you bundle home and auto insurance together. Insurance companies are more likely to give discounts for home and auto bundled policies because they know this usually means that the customer will be with them for a long time.
Some insurers might also provide discounts if there aren’t many claims filed in your area, which allows them to keep house insurance premiums low for the entire community.
Premiums can also be reduced if there aren’t many claims filed in your home, or you have been with an insurer for a long time without filing any claims.
