By bundling your home and auto insurance, you could save money with a multi-policy discount.
What does it mean to bundle your home and auto insurance?
Bundling home and auto insurance is the practice of buying these two insurance policies from the same company. Many companies offer a discount when you buy multiple policies and the paperwork can sometimes be easier this way. People often ask, “Should I bundle my home and auto insurance?” There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, so let’s explore this more.
Consider bundling your home and auto insurance.
Many insurance companies will offer you a discount if you choose to get your home and auto insurance bundled with them. These discounts can run anywhere from 10% to 25% of the policy premium, which can result in significant savings. In addition, you may be able to pay the premium for the policies together, which adds convenience. Even if you do have to pay separately, just dealing with one insurance carrier can save you time when your renewal rolls around.
Check the individual policy prices and coverages.
The discount and the convenience of having your home and auto insurance bundled can be very enticing, but if savings are what you’re after, this may not be the least expensive option. Additionally, some companies may only bundle certain policies, leaving you buying more coverage than you need simply to get the bundled rate.
What does it mean to bundle insurance?
Bundling insurance means purchasing multiple insurance policies through one insurance company, which can make it easier to manage your insurance.
How much can you save by bundling insurance?
You may be able to get a multi-policy discount of anywhere from 10% to 25%, so bundling your home and auto insurance can help you save money on your coverage.
You can bundle auto insurance with renters insurance, too.
While home and auto insurance are commonly referred to together as an option to bundle, this doesn’t necessarily help someone who doesn’t own their home. If you have renters insurance (and you should), you may be able to bundle that policy with your auto policy as well.

Home Insurance FAQ
What does home insurance actually cover?
A standard home insurance policy covers your home’s structure, personal belongings, personal liability, and additional living expenses if a covered loss displaces you. The specific risks covered depend on your policy type and the coverages you select.
Is home insurance required by law?
Home insurance is not required by law, but most mortgage lenders require you to carry a policy as a condition of your loan to protect their financial interest in the property. Homeowners who own their property outright are not legally obligated to carry coverage, though it is strongly recommended.
How is my home insurance coverage amount determined?
Your coverage amount is based on the estimated replacement cost of your home, what it would cost to rebuild it from the ground up at current labor and material prices, not its market value or purchase price. An insurance agent can help you calculate the right coverage amount based on your home’s size, construction type, and features.
Does standard home insurance cover floods?
A standard home insurance policy does not cover flood damage and must be purchased as a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private insurer. If your home is in a designated flood zone, your mortgage lender may require you to carry flood insurance.
Auto Insurance FAQ
What is the difference between liability-only and full-coverage auto insurance?
Liability-only coverage pays for damage and injuries you cause to others but does not cover your own vehicle. Full coverage adds comprehensive and collision coverage to your policy, which pays for damage to your own vehicle from accidents, theft, and other covered losses.
How does auto insurance work if you are in an accident?
After an accident, you file a claim with your insurance company. They assign an adjuster to assess the damage and determine what your policy covers. Depending on who is at fault and what coverage you carry, your insurer will pay for repairs, medical bills, or other covered losses up to your policy limits, minus your deductible.
What are the different parts of an auto insurance policy?
A standard auto policy typically includes several coverages:
- Property Damage Liability and Bodily Injury for harm you cause to others.
- Collision and Comprehensive Coverage protects your own vehicle.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage protects you when the at-fault driver doesn’t have adequate insurance.
Why does your driving record affect your auto insurance premium?
Insurance companies use your driving record to assess how likely you are to file a claim. Accidents and violations signal higher risk and result in higher premiums, while a clean record typically qualifies you for lower rates and may make you eligible for safe-driver discounts.
