Purchasing more than one policy from any insurance company can equal money in your pocket. Insurance carriers usually offer discounts, and one that is common is to offer a cut in cost if you have more than one policy with the company. So the next time you are shopping for the right insurance, obtain quotes separately and then get the bundled cost. Watch for the difference in prices. Consolidate at least some of your policies with one insurance provider. You are likely to receive discounted rates for purchasing car insurance and homeowners insurance from the same carrier. You may find that your savings are upwards of 20 percent of what you might otherwise pay.
