Frequently asked questions about bundling home and auto insurance

Is bundling home and auto insurance right for everyone in South Dakota?

Bundling your insurance can help you save money and make managing your policies easier. With one company handling everything, you can check all your coverages in one place.

However, bundling isn’t always the cheapest move. If you find a great deal on car insurance but your homeowners insurance is much more expensive with the same company, you might save more by getting separate policies from different insurers.

It’s also possible that a company has the right coverage for one type of insurance but not for the other.

Instead of assuming a bundle is the best deal, it’s always a good idea to shop around and compare quotes.

“Remember when buying insurance that you’re doing so to protect your most valuable assets,” says Christine O’Brien, president of the Insurance Council of New Jersey. “Take the time to learn about policy limits and coverages and get several quotes.”

How can you switch to a home and auto bundle in South Dakota?

Switching to a bundled policy is simple, and many people take this step when their insurance comes up for renewal. For example, if your car insurance is with one company and your homeowners insurance with another, you can easily combine them under one insurer when it’s time to renew.

However, you don’t have to wait until renewal to bundle your policies. If you cancel one of your policies before it expires, you might get a refund for the months you won’t be covered by that insurer.

But before canceling coverage on any of your policies, make sure your new coverage is set up and active. Don’t cancel the old one until you’re fully covered.

Methodology
