Homeowner and Renters Insurance: Protect Your Belongings
You may be able to save hundreds of dollars a year on
homeowners insurance by shopping around. You can also
save money with these tips:
Consider a higher deductible. Increasing your deductible by
just a few hundred dollars can make a big difference in your
premium.
Ask your insurance agent about discourks. You may be able
to get a lower premium if your home has safety features
such as dead-bolt locks, smoke detectors, an alarm system,
storm shutters or fire retardant roofing material. Persons
over 55 years of age or long-term customers may also be
offered discounts.
OD.
Insure your house NOT the land under it. After a disaster,
the land is still there. If you don't subtract the value of the
land when deciding how much homeowners insurance to
buy, you will pay more than you should.
