Take advantage of discounts

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but discounts can save money and there are some available that can drop the cost substantially. A few discounts will automatically apply when you complete an application, but some must be asked about before they will apply. If you're not getting every credit available, you're paying more than you need to.

  • Employee of Federal Government - Being employed by or retired from a federal job could cut as much as 10% off depending on your company.
  • Auto/Home Discount - When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same company you will save at least 10% off all policies.
