Home & auto bundling
Your home and car, looked at together.
Many insurance companies offer a discount when your home and auto policies are with them. Bundling can also mean one renewal date and one place to call. Ernest checks whether it actually works out better for you.
Coverage options
What to weigh
Bundling is about how your policies are arranged, not what they cover. Here's what to weigh:
Multi-policy discount
Many companies reduce the price of one or both policies when you carry home and auto with them. The size of the discount varies.
One renewal, one contact
Policies on the same schedule are easier to keep track of, and you have one place to call with questions.
Matching liability limits
Reviewing both policies together makes it easier to line up liability limits, and to add an umbrella policy if it makes sense.
When separate is better
Sometimes the best home policy and the best auto policy are with different companies. An independent broker can compare both ways.
Good things to have handy when you ask about a bundle:
- Your current home policy
- Your current auto policy
- Renewal dates
- Vehicles and drivers
- Recent claims
- Any home updates
Who it's for
Is this a fit for you?
- Homeowners who buy home and auto from different places
- New homeowners setting up coverage for the first time
- Families adding a vehicle or driver
- Anyone who hasn't compared rates in a few years
